Mame0.96 torrent

Archived from groups: alt.games.mame (More info?)

Hi,

After using the "full ROMs Torrent" to keep my MAME romset up to date
for a few versions and to share back I decided to run ClrMamePro again
on this set.

First I was disappointed by it showing a lot of problems with it but most
were easily resolved by simply shutting down BitTornado while scanning,
concurrent file accesses...

There is just one remaining message:

> Target Ball [folder: tgtballa - parent: tgtball - size: 3mb]
> wrong name: C:\Programme\MAME\roms\tgtballa\yunsung.111 [wrong:
yunsung.111] [right: yunsung.110]

Now I am sure that I can live without this game but it still is a non-perfect
result so I thought I'd investigate.

In my tgtballa.zip reside both yunsung.111 and yunsung.110 and their CRCs
as given by WinZip match those listed on MAWS (I did not bother to compare
SHA1s).

Now what exactly is bothering ClrMamePro? The message makes me believe it
wants me to rename yunsung.111 to yunsung.110 but that would clearly be
wrong.

Ciao, MM

Hi,

> Sounds like a bug in MAME

You mean MAME32.exe (in my case) is outputting incorrect information? Could
I check this information directly without cranking it through ClrMamePro?
Just to isolate the culprit?

Dont sound so surprised, it has been known to happen occasionally

You probably could by looking at the source for the driver but I am the
wrong guy to ask...

Oh Roman........

Hi,

> Maybe your 111 is 110 and 110 is 111.

I don't think so. The CRC of 111 matches that of the 111 from MAWS and
the same is true for 110. Plus: Shouldn't ClrMamePro then ask me to
rename 110 to 111 _and_ 111 to 110?

> Simply rebuild the sets to your collection.

I removed and saved my tgtballa.zip. I unzipped the contents to one
of my ClrMamePro add-paths. Then I rebuilt. I got a new tgtballa.zip
that has a 110 with the CRC of 111 and no 111. So ClrMamePro is
consistent in its actions :-).

MAME32 audits my original as OK, and flags 110 as having the incorrect
Checksum on the rebuilt version. So I believe my original is correct and
ClrMamePro is misled.

I tried to find out what MAME32 wants by calling "mame32.exe -listxml"
but that does not work either, it simply returns without any output...

> Something is wrong on your site.

I agree, but what?

Hi,

> Clear the cache and try again.

I pressed the "clear cache" button on the profiler window and reran
the thing. The message went away.

> and be sure you get the data from an official mame build.

This is MAME32 as downloaded from Gamespy.

> It works fine here and everywhere else

I am not complaining, just curious.

Hi,

> Before you ask "why did I have a corrupt cachefile"....I don't know.

I won't ask.
