CMP Game Over, Time to try RomVault

Have you tried RomVault yet? It really is so much better than CMP! Head over there and give it a try today.

scanner 0.02.1

Quickly fixed a freeze when fixing some unneeded decompressed files....

scanner 0.02 and rebuilder 0.09

Some nice little fixes and add ons for the new apps. No profiler yet but already bringing in recent user feedback and there are some needed core fixes. Donations are graciously accepted ;-). Read more

Well, if you want to play around with the tools outside of the MAME world (i.e. load other datfiles which clone the XML layout from MAME (e.g. dir2dat created ones and others floating around), you can use this package.It allows you to load more datfiles than the typical MAME ones.

scanner 0.01 and rebuilder 0.08

Happy to give you the first release of the new scanner together with an updated rebuilder. If you followed the project on the forum you know that this is not yet a full clrmamepro replacement but we're on a good way. There is no profiler yet but you could already switch between some setups (e.g. a -listxml and -listsoftware profile). Hope you enjoy it as much as I did. Donations are graciously accepted ;-).

rebuilder 0.07

It's time again for a little rebuilder update. Aligns smoothly with the software list merge updates in cmpro plus some other minor fixes...more

Clrmamepro 4.048d released

While working on the new scanner I saw that cmpro ignores some merge possibilities for some software list entries. You may find some unneeded files in your software lists now when keeping them split merged.

Clrmamepro 4.048c released

Some minor work on delta chd messages. Keep in mind that in general there are some open issues with chdman.

Clrmamepro 4.048b released

In full merged mode, delta chd warning could show identical chds for revert...fixed that now.

Clrmamepro 4.048a released

Fix the exit/crash when finding unneeded files and limiting delta chd support to chd version >=5

Clrmamepro 4.048 released

Say hello to delta chd support and a slight fix for the MAME 260 samples. Details regarding delta chds

Clrmamepro 4.047b released

Tiny update for MAME's latest CHD feature "delta chds". I will think about additional options (like optionally marking found not-delta chds and maybe a conversion tool/update opption) but for this I need more time.

Clrmamepro 4.047a released

Wow...first cmpro update this year....a tiny but important fix where a file could get lost.

Rebuilder 0.06 released

source and destination matching is now done in multiple threads which give a nice speed boost...

Rebuilder 0.05 released

did a general unicode handling overhaul...more

....and since I had a little time and wanted to test something, I've added a tiny rebuilderUI version ;-)

Rebuilder 0.04 released

7z support is in, small speedup, detection by byte signature, selectable tempfolder...more

Clrmamepro 4.047 released

Another year comes to its end. The update only contains a small 3rd party lib update mainly to put zlib to a current status.

Enjoy the holiday season, merry xmas and a happy, healthy and peaceful 2023.

Rebuilder 0.03 released

Added hard/sym link support plus real moves (instead of copy/delete) on single file transfers.

Clrmamepro 4.046b released

Another small rare thing fixed

Rebuilder 0.02 released

Full/standalone merged sets in decompresses sets can't be stored in subfolders. Same for CHDs.

Clrmamepro 4.046a released

Only did some minor compatibility things for the rebuilder tool

Clrmamepro 4.046 released

Only did some minor compatibility things for the rebuilder tool

Rebuilder 0.01 released

Yes...something new, something fast, something I've enjoyed coding. Rebuilder is a small commandline tool which has some advantages over the rebuilder in clrmamepro. Faster, Standalone merge mode, CHD rebuild to name a few.

Clrmamepro 4.045 released

I've overseen a little sideeffect on full merged sets in 4.044d...so grab the new one.

Clrmamepro 4.044d released

while working on something completely different, I found 2 minor things to fix....

Clrmamepro 4.044c released

little fix for scanner's fix-missing which might silently replace a file

Clrmamepro 4.044b released

mainly a little xml parser fix
