MAME wrong incomplete status

Postby Tester on Tue Jun 12, 2012 6:24 pm

I did recreate my database of MAME 0.146 for RomCenter 3.6.1 and now 8 archives are marked as incomplete (roms missing).

But in 3.59 there was no problem with this archives, all this archives contains the file "h63484.bin" which have the status "nodump". I think the incomplete status is wrong for this archives.

I did check the dat file, this file is not part of the archives, it is commes from a device_ref.
But the game h63484 has a rom h63484.bin which is undumped.

Devices roms are by choice included in games to avoid green games with missing devices. I could add some settings to handle that (like bioses) later.
In 3.6.2, independant devices files have also been added (to solve a problem with mess).

I think the problem is that the nodump flag is not checked by RomCenter, because a undumped file cannot be a missing file.

I will have a look and fix it if needed for 3.6.2

The problem comes from undumped devices roms. They is a bug when spreading them across the games.
It is fixed and I will now run some final tests before the release.

Did you fix it in 3.6.2?

It still exists, now I have it in MAME and MESS.
I have 8 red archives in MAME and 77 in MESS.
But all missing files are undumped.

Can you please check this again? Or is it not fixed in 3.6.2?

I'm currently working on it. There is indeed a problem with inconsistencies in mame dat.
