Romcenter

It seems wine 3.15 64bit and dotnet40 gives the best result so far.
Does it makes a difference with wine 32b ?

One more thing: disable log: edit nlog.config and set all logger to 'off'

Romcenter 4 is not final and does not provide datafiles yet. Go to the web sites aformentioned.

The dat content is fine, but the file itself has something wrong
I created a new text file and copy paste the dat content and the error was gone.

Note: romcenter complains about the dat file syntax. I think the problem is the blank line in position 3. I will improve the detection to not report these errors. until then, simply allow romcenter to continue.

Tested with romcenter 4: work great

To use it, add it to the romcenter plugin folder (in romcenter root folder).
A dat is included in the attached plugin zip.

Tell me if I can include it in the rc4 final.

Thanks for your work. If you need something more, please ask.

Where can we find some tsx samples roms ?
edit: ok, found on the tsx forum

No way, but I will include the description in the search context.

Thank you.
I'm back now, after 14 days on the GR20 (corsica) (180km / 12000m+)
Really nice trek, not very phisically relaxing

Ok, I will have a look.

After the last months hard work , I will take a small summer break.
Keep testing and reporting...
See you in 2 weeks.

Romcenter 4 release candidate 3 is released. Donwload it for free. I'm almost done with the v4 development. This version adds internationalization. The base translation file is available for everyone to create their own translation. This release includes french translation. See here for more info. S...

Here is the source code of sega genesis plugin. It is a delphi project.
It contains also a plugin tester.

Nice
I will send you tomorrow a source code (Delphi, I don't have c# yet).

In which language will you develop?
Do you know specifications of this format? I already handle interleaved, bit swapped and headers.
Thanks for your work.

Yes, I can send you some sources. I have Delphi source code and you can contact ucon64 author if you want c++.
New plugins will be released soon. Maybe your system is one of them ?

Good point.
Current version doesn't use an installer so there is no way to uninstall from window.
I will add a section in wiki for now.
Basically, a romcenter folder in programdata on c:, and in local roaming in users folder. No registry, only files.

Hi all Some news on romcenter development. I have finished the localization and French translation is also finished. A language resource file will be provided with the next version for people to start translating in their favorites languages. I will provide a wiki page with all details for that. Nee...

You're right about the del key. I will map the 'delete' operation like on version 3.

I will have a look for the next version. Is it slow from the start of getting slower ?

Any hex editor can do the trick.

Romcenter gets the sha-1 from the chd header (see here: http://wiki.romcenter.com/wiki/doku.php?id=chd). It doesn't calculate the full file sha-1 for chd.
This chd should match those of mame. If not this is an issue and should be fixed.

Hi
You're truly the only one who has this problem
Could it be an access right problem ?
Or maybe your antivirus which block execution ?

romcenter v3 is outdated and doesn't work with new mame datafiles.

Never heard of it

You can set filters before importing dat.
Selecting only main games can do the trick. You can also use the 1G1R (1 game 1 rom) option with your favorite language (if the info is available in the dat).

Hi

It's difficult to tell if something is wrong without the files.
Maybe you can take one or two roms with different report and see what's the difference ?

Tell me what you find and I will check with you what's wrong.

Can you post some dats ?

Hi Could you try to not use the snes plugin ? (choose no when asking on dat import) The no intro pc xml does not need plugin because file crc is the same as game crc for sfc/mgd files. And current snes plugin doesn't recognize bios files because they are too small. Anyway, I will rewrite the plugin ...

Thanks for the report. I will check that next week after my holidays

Romcenter 4.0 rc2 is out now. I've made a lot of improvments in this version and long lasting problems have been fixed. Database connection issues should be solved now. Import and operations speed are also back to normal. Files and roms browsing are also faster and don't freeze anymore. No more free...

There are many libraries used in romcenter. I don't know how it is supported in wine. Romcenter actually run in 32b mode. I have found this page: https://www.makeuseof.com/tag/wine-programs-not-working-try-steps/ Maybe it can help. If we can't go anywhere, I could build a test version with only some...
