Romcenter

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...

You can try one more thing: enable the internal logging.

internalLogLevel="On" internalLogFile="c:\temp\nlog-internal.log">

Hi

Edit nlog.config and change the log location:

<variable name="logFilename" value="c:\temp\romcenter" />

Replace path with a linux path and see if a log file is created.

Romcenter is compiled in .net 4.0. I can help yuou to make it work under wine. I think the first point is to ensure the log system is working. This will be of great help when debugging. Log settings are stored in the nlog.config file. Try to change the location to point to a custom linux folder with...

Ok. can you post one of these bios files?

Hi I found no errors in 5200 dat. The description is too long (8 bits dat). Remove some chars and it should be ok. <game name="Disk Copy, RAM Check, Atari XL to 800 Emulator 2.1, Broderbund Unprotect, XL-Tools, The Fix XL, Turbo-Watson Version 4.2, Fast Copy Version 1.0, 6-Bits MOD-Player 5.1KHz, Se...

It seems the problem comes from your astrof.zip file. Could you post it ?

Hi

Did you answer yes when it asks to use the snes plugin ?

Hi

Thank you for your post and sorry for late reply. I'm busy at the moment fixing some interface problems.
I will have a look to this error, probably a datafile problem.

Stay tuned, I may need your help for some files...

Hi Thank you for your mail. I'm doing my best to develop a nice rom manager. First point: Profile panel. This is something in my todo list. Have a tab with all available databases and status. I will create a feature request soon (or you can if you want). Second point: subfolder in roms. This thing i...

Please upgrade to Romcenter latest version.


Here is a quick fix for the "operating system directive CreateFile failed" and "The underlying provider failed on Open" errors.
Big thank to bslenul for debugging that.

Oh, no, unfortunatly, this is a per dat option. It should remember your settings.
This is an idea to add in my todo list.
Do you mind opening an new feature ticket in bitbucket?

Romcenter is currently only 32bits . This means it can deal with 3GB, no matter how much you have.
I will try this dat.
There will be a 64b version soon, but plugins are still in 32b and I have to rewrite them.

Yes. Go into fix settings and uncheck this operation.

You can drag the main column and drop it in the header bar. This will group by main game.
Your can do it with all columns, years for example.

You can delete. The bug is fixed in next release.

Please upgrade to Romcenter latest version.

Hi There is a trailing space char in one game name. This cause the problem in romcenter. This will be fixed in next release. Until then, you can edit the dat, look for 'Abuse v2.9 ' and remove the trailing space. game ( name "Abuse v2.9" description "Abuse v2.9" rom ( name "Abuse v2.9.atr" size 9217...

Thank you for the report. I will have a look at the dat and fix the problem.

Romcenter uses an internal sql database (firebird 2). A lot of processes are handled through stored proc, which are specific to fb. Using external database requires to rewrite proc into the new db, or rewrite these processes in the main program, getting rid of stored proc. I'm not sure a lot of user...

Hmm i´m not an Programmer, i am a gamer and i love retro consoles.. I miss some functions in rc as an idea.. helpful can be a support for screenscraper.fr i started to do some translations for game description in german if romcenter and screenscraper.fr where work togehter hand in hand it will be t...

Hello. I'm not sure how many different datafile formats exist out there but an interesting idea would be for RC to expose some kind of plugin-API. That way, community could create plugin-DLLs to add support for New database creation / update for new datafile formats (provided that the original data...

You're using version 3 or 4 ?

Please upgrade to Romcenter latest version. Hello everybody and thank you for using romcenter. Here is the first release candidate for romcenter 4.0 It means the 4.0 features list is closed and I won't add more in this version. Download, use this version and report bugs. I will now spend my time on ...

Hi
Just a note to inform you that the release candidate is ready for publishing.
Stay tuned !

I'm really interested to know which emulator you use to run games stored that way without unzipping them first .

Hi

Romcenter currently read compressed archives one 2 levels deep. This is mainly because all emulators work that way.
So, unzip your multiples folders and add them to romcenter. You can drag them all and drop them in rc using drag and drop.
