problems with renaming gamecube roms with dons tools, help needed

[owen70]

I have a heap of gamecube GCM and ISO's files which need to be renamed to work in hyperspin

I have tried to use don's tools to rename them but when i try to I keep getting the "It appears that this XML file does not have any CRC tags for your games. Either this system is not currently supported or your XML file is out of date"

what does this mean as the XML I'm using is what i recently downloaded from the hyperlist????

is there any other way to rename these file to work??

What version of Dons tools are you using?

I've recently renamed my gamecube isos with the latest beta version and although the names are guessed I've had 100% success rate.

is there a link to where i can download the beta version , Im also having trouble with PSX games too which only use an ISO to load, so i cant see it been to hard to make a file renamer for them also, PS2 would be a different story

The link has been pulled for now.. You will have to ask him in the beta thread

owen70,

did you ever figure a solution to your problem? i'm having the same issue using the mame xml file from hyperlist along with don's rom renamer. i get the exact same error message:

"It appears that this XML file does not have any CRC tags for your games. Either this system is not currently supported or your XML file is out of date"

i had everything working a few weeks ago. after taking a break i figured i'd pick back up where i left off and can't seem to get anything working. i'm basically trying to rename the rom's in my mame folder, create an xml file for use with hyperspin, and then sync the media.

Dons ROM Renamer is not intended to rename your MAME roms. Actually, I would discourage renaming your MAME roms as the XML file is already set to match to the standard mame naming convention.

emb,

thanks for the clarification. my intent was to have the tool rename the roms (no involvement from me) so that syncing the media later would be straightforward. the fact there is a "standard" takes care of that. thanks again.
