You should use the 4.x version. romcenter 2.42 is outdated and no more supported. Before scanning your rom, you must import a datafile for the machine you want to use. Once your rom are scanned, a red rom means you don't have it and you must download it. A yellow and green rom means it is correct. T...

Hi
Retropie datafile can be found here: https://github.com/libretro/mame2003-li ... r/metadata

Hi you can download and run Romcenter with your emulators datafiles and see if you rom are valid or not. Romcenter will show invalid rom in red, so you will know if you set are validated before trying in the emulator. As for the romsets 'mystery', there is no such mystery. An arcade cabinet contains...

Hi

I think it would be better to talk first with a datafile website like https://no-intro.org/.
See with them how they handle this problem and propose your solution.

Glad it helps. Thanks for the message .

Hi
I said it was all fixed, but I still found some problems in the interface. This is now fixed.
What remains to be done is:

• include the basic command line binary I started
• compile all changes made from previous version
• prepare zip and msi version
• release

Hello and welcome

Have a look at mame category files: http://www.progettoemma.net/?catlist
Then I'm afraid you have to create the dat by hand...

Ok, I will check. Thanks.

Gui is now fixed. Following several requests, I also added 'folder' in preferred choice list for storing new rom.

I wil now prepare the build 4.1.

What you do seems ok.
I will check if there is something wrong.

Hi

The latest romcenter build passes all tests. I still have some things to fix in the gui, and then I will release romcenter 4.1.

Hi Some quick news: I'm dealing with latest bugs and optimizations. I have found some special cases which makes problems and inconsistencies, like devices of devices with nodump roms :? . Tonight, tests seems all ok. I will now do a full fix of my 7000 reference files in all rom/bios/sample modes to...

Hi, yes it does.

Ok, I will.

Hello The current dev status of romcenter 4.1 is stable. All unit tests are running ok. It means all engines operations are ok. I'm now checking that the user interface behaves as expected. I already detected some problems and I'm currently fixing them. I start to look at the requested command line ...

You're right, xml or json to describe action can be the solution. About upgrading a db (because a new rc version comes with a new db version), rc actually does it when opening the db. There is no specific action to do that and you have no choice but updating. I will provide a first version with only...

Great news also.
Syntax for commands are open. It will more or less be what you propose.
I can offer several switch for anything that can be usefull, from updating a db, adding paths or fixing rom.

Some new on work in progress: I worked last week on refactoring some part of the code. The final version will be more stable. I'm now dealing with configuration part (injecting config class). This will fix problems with settings sometimes not saved. Tuesday, I will attempt to rewrite the plugin test...

Hi
This behavior is not correct. I fixed something similar in the next version.
Anyway, I will check these specific cases to be sure it is correct in v 4.1
Thanks for the reports and examples.

Hi Wanderer

I'm not sure to understand the goal. Do you mean updating romcenter databases with datafiles new versions ? without opening all databases ?

If yes, I can provide in the next version a command line interface. This is one point in my todo list. This behaviour is already used for the tests.

Hello During the previous tests I did last week, I found a bug about 'nodump' devices, which are duplicated when loading datafile, and another one when datafile contains inconsistencies between main devices status and same devices used in clones. For example, main using a device rom marked as good, ...

Are you using parent-clone datafiles ?
Can you post the name of a no-intro datafile with the problem ?

Romcenter wiki has been upgraded to the latest version. I also added a link to the new romcenter tsx plugin for msx files developped by imulilla

Some news: I have reworked the cancellation part. It is now more reliable and no more hang. I have fixed a bug in the db v2->v3 migration process. Now all integrations tests are green. I will now start heavy testings: fixing thousand of files with the last mame version, switching from merged mode to...
