Avar Posted February 28, 2011 Posted February 28, 2011 Even though FatMatch says it renames images to match roms, you can technically use it rename anything you want, which is what I've been doing so far. I'll check this out when I get a chance as everyone seems to recommend it pretty highly
Dred Posted March 16, 2011 Posted March 16, 2011 Still using this fantastic program but run into a slight problem. I am setting up SCUMMVM for the first time and i am trying to rename the folders to match the box art. Or rename the boxart to match the folders whichever works. Does this program have this feature and if not would it be possible to add it? Thanks again.
MK2k Posted March 16, 2011 Author Posted March 16, 2011 Sorry if this is a bit too technical, but you can rename any FILE (no matter what extension it has) regarding the naming of the games inside an XML. So if you have box art files already matching the names inside the scummvm XML, then you had to rename the directories, which is not possible yet with HSRMM, I will put this request on the TODO list tho, so it will come with the next version. If you have directories already matching the names inside the scummvm XML, then you can set the extensions to "png" or "jpg" or even "png,jpg" (without the quotes) and use HSRMM to rename the box art files. [Edit] Sorry, I didn't know that you already use this tool (should have looked a few posts back), so maybe you already know what I told hehe.
MK2k Posted March 16, 2011 Author Posted March 16, 2011 Just a little question, which criteria does a 3rd party tool have to meet, in order to get a place in the official 3rd party area on the downloads section?
Dred Posted March 26, 2011 Posted March 26, 2011 Just a little question, which criteria does a 3rd party tool have to meet, in order to get a place in the official 3rd party area on the downloads section? Yeah I think this and quite a few other programs should be added. I depend on this one for almost every new system i download. I might have found it sooner if it was in the download section. i think i found it on a random forum search when someone mentioned it. Oh btw i checked and looks like i have matching boxart and xml but my folders in scummvm need to be renamed. =( So hopefully folder support can be added without too much difficulty. I may scour the internets to try to find something to work in the interim. I just want to get my scummvm working asap. Great tool. look forward to updates. =D
MK2k Posted March 26, 2011 Author Posted March 26, 2011 Can you give me a link to the scummvm Database XML?
MK2k Posted March 26, 2011 Author Posted March 26, 2011 Ok, nevermind, I think I got it almost working™
MK2k Posted March 26, 2011 Author Posted March 26, 2011 HyperSpin RomManager 1.1b released, release thread is here, enjoy!
Dred Posted March 26, 2011 Posted March 26, 2011 I LOVE YOU M2K! =D Trying it out now. Its funny cause i was trying to rename about 400 playstation wheels using the 1700+xml list and since i only have 400 wheels i have tons of incorrect ones but since you added the ability to mass select incorrect ones.. It will be so much easier now! Art preview i didn't even think about that what a great idea. =D I was even able to resume my playstation project. Trying out the scummvm folder rename as well. I have not committed project to run yet but when I do will it copy the games or will it just rename the existing folders? Thanks dude!
MK2k Posted March 26, 2011 Author Posted March 26, 2011 HSRMM always copies and never moves or directly renames files or folders, so go ahead
LaugeJ Posted May 2, 2011 Posted May 2, 2011 Thank you SOOOOOOOO much but, It would be cool if there was a button to add games that wasn't on the list
MK2k Posted May 2, 2011 Author Posted May 2, 2011 LaugeJ: HSRMM was never intended to alter the Hyperspin XML databases, but I'll keep your suggestion in mind.
rob3d Posted July 1, 2011 Posted July 1, 2011 Thanks this tool works great! You think you could add an option to "move" to the destination directory instead of "copy"?
Black_Hive Posted December 2, 2012 Posted December 2, 2012 This is a wonderful tool! Works really well! Is there any way to make a new XML file based on the Roms it found a match for? For instance, I only have about 100 of the NES roms, so it would be awesome to compile a new XML file based only on those 100 roms. EDIT: NVM, figured it out using Don's Tools http://honerbrink.com/?page_id=14
WEB11 Posted September 7, 2013 Posted September 7, 2013 This is a fantastic tool! I just wanted to cleanup my rom folders and clrmamepro was pissing me off. This tool did the job perfectly. Thank you!
