Hi.
I'm not sure if Eric has released a plugin development kit for RC4. There is an old one here from 2005 but i don't think it applies to RC4 and it's not in c#. Feel free to try it though.

Re: how to combine two sets of MAME roms with the same name into a new clean set?
Hi there. I assume you mean that you have 2 separate folders A and B, containing games from the same system , and you have "fixed" them with romcenter using the same DAT file . If that's the case, copy all files from B to A WITHOUT overwriting any existing files. That way, any games that do not exis...

Re: Extract from .exe
Hi
I don't know if anyone can help you with this, but Romcenter as a roms manager, simply gets an existing datafile and processes it. If you have problems creating the datafile from an emulator, it would probably be better to direct this question to the emulator's support forums. Try this link.

Re: Command line
Hi Eric,
Along with the "updatestructure" option, i have a request for 2 additional command-line actions: RemoveROMPath and RemoveAllROMPaths. They would complement the "addrompath" option nicely and give the ability to mass-setup rompaths in databases.

Hi Eric. Here are some questions/comments/requests about the command line. Update: 1. What if the database needs updating because its structure is of an older version? IMO an additional command-line option ("updatestructure" perhaps) might be useful, in order to check and update the DB structure if ...

Re: Work in progress
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 think that a messagebox is shown in case of a db upgrade, though i can't remember if it's just an infor...

Syntax for commands are open. It will more or less be what you propose. That would be nice, i was wondering though what would happen if a user wants to perform multiple options on a DB. That way, my app would execute RC multiple times for the same database with different options, each time re-loadi...

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. Hey Eric, If you do provide that command line option, it would be nice if RC did not ask whether to upgrade the database from an older RC version (it ...

I'm not sure to understand the goal. Do you mean updating romcenter databases with datafiles new versions ? without opening all databases ? The goal is indeed to automate the database update process for entire systems. For instance, the TOSEC Amstrad CPC system consists of several dats, which means...

Re: -> Participate in Romcenter version 4 design!
Hey Eric. In this thread, there was an earlier discussion about how to handle entire systems (i.e a C64 set of roms - which is composed out of several different dats). Given that this is a one-man-show and your devoted time to RC is limited and also there is much work to be done, such a feature may ...

Re: How do I rename a ROM entry?
If I scan a folder with, say, .dll files it does list the dll's in it. But doesn't add the .iso files in the same directory. If any file types are allowed, why don't the .iso's show up? Maybe it doesn't like files over 800mb-2gb? RC is made to primarily handle compressed files (zip, 7z...). It can ...

You could add custom dat entries in the datafile then. After that, you could re-create an RC database including them.

Well, "Out Of Memory" should be clear enough. Maybe the computer actually does not have enough memory to support what you're trying to do. Two questions would be: do the two computers have the same amount of memory and are you trying to scan the same datafile with the same rom folders? If you wish t...

Re: fix *only* principal rompath destination, secondary add paths
Well, when you can either click on a rompath to fix all roms in that path, or click on a specific rom inside the rompath to fix that rom only. Choose wisely and proceed with caution.
