Romcenter

Many thanks. I will check that.

Thanks for the list. I will check that.

It is possible to get all green rom, of course. you just have to check in red games which roms are missing and find them. you can safelu try to delete red files. Romcenter will check if a rom is about to be lost if deleting (if there is only on copy of it) and it will ask a confirmation in this case...

Answer 'no' and see if your roms are identified (not grey). If not, reload it and anser 'yes'

To be plenty compatible with the new version of the forum, I installed a new style.

You can move all tools bar where you want, and also move datagrid headers to the top to group. For example, move 'main game' column to the 'group' area to get a v3-like datagrid.

Thank you for your support.
Speed is still an issue with big dat, but the next version will be faster.

Also, I will need a 64b version for the next romcenter64. Can you compile such a version ?

Many thanks. I will include it in next version.
I'm planning to release all plugins as open source in github. Can I include yours with credits?

Hi I can't reproduce these 'out of memory' errors. If you restart your pc, does it fix the problem? Do you have enough disk spaces on your different disks? Also, can you check the memory consumption (using task manager) during loading ? Note that this is a 32b version, and it is limited in ram amoun...

The 'check' status on icons means the game is marked as 'verified' in the dat. This is mostly used with no-intro dats.

Hi all, some new at last... I regularly work on romcenter to improve reliability and speed, and with covid-related disruptions, I haven't taken the time to post any news. Sorry for that. Not all current changes are visible in romcenter, but they are necessary to improve the quality of code for futur...

Yes, you're right, a 'uncompressed' option is missing.
Working on uncompressed rom will keep them uncompressed, but exporting to a new game will create an archive.
I will fix that in next release.
Can you fill a request here for tracking ?

Hi
I'm fine, thanks for asking . Sorry for the lack of updates.
I'm focusing on the new version. I will post some news today on current work ans status (hopefully).

Hi all Some quick news on what's going on. I'm working on refactoring the romcenter source code to prepare migration to .net core. This mean extracting all windows specific codes like dialogs or disks accesses from the various library. At the same time, I'm migrating db engine to v3. This work is do...

Here is the first fix for 4.0. Not a lot of bugs, and most are fixed in this version :) Requirement : .net framework 4, windows xp to windows 10 The 4.0 branch will be the last version compatible with windows XP (<3% of romcenter users are on xp). 4.1 branch will use a modern framework (4.6 or 4.7) ...

Hi all

The final release is a little bit delayed due to some unexpected bugs during latest test process.
I hope to get the version ready by the middle of june.
Stay tuned !

Romcente 4.0.0 will fix that issue.

Load a new dat and it will appear as a new tab

Rom are processed as chd if they have the flag 'Disk' in the datafile.
The crc calculator extracts then the sha-1 value from the mame chd header.

Crc is calculated taken from the zip header if the file is zipped. It is calculated from the binary content else. For console dat, a plugin can be use to calculate the crc of the game code only, skipping the cartridge copier header. This way, the crc remains the same whatever cartridge copier is use...

Hi Romcenter will store CHD unzipped in a folder with same name as the game, as expected in mame. You can try it on several chd from a backup and check if it is what you expect. http://wiki.romcenter.com/wiki/doku.php?id=chd Btw, final release will be out by the end of the month. (No changes about c...

By the end of the month.
