RomCenter solution to fix roms?

Post by greatsticks »

I have been using the RomCenter database system for handling roms - specifically to fix them and make sure they are clean. But I cannot get it to work for me.

With a collection of NES ROMS anything with a [!] after it is good and for me I am on the look out for (E) because of my region, the problem comes with those that have and [w] and even those that have [!] might not be all they seem.

So I was following the tutorial and added the dat file, then the roms and they were not recognised - nothing could be tested or fixed.. It just didn't work.
I think you know what I want but just to make sure; it would be for all games to be clean, and what they say they are.. so "xxx (E) [!].nes" from maybe a file that was "xxx (E)." .. can it doe this, or at least make the hacked ones right again -- dont tell me its its an extravagant file renamer! and what happens when a ROM is fixed, how will the name look - I would like to keep the bracketed information.

Also what is this MAME thing, I just don't get it. I use the snes9x emulator and I like it. All I want to do is batch fix my roms, but I find it so hard. Is there a youtube video on this?

Below is my error log (I hope this post isn't shot down):
