firepowr Posted October 2, 2012 Posted October 2, 2012 On my HyperSpin Cab I have 30-45 games listed. I usually update my mame roms and mameui every other major version release. I use clrmamepro and run a scan to fix/update my existing set with the latest DAT and updated Rom set. Once all the roms are updated I manually copy and overwrite each individual game in my mame's rom folder for hyperspin. As you can see it is time consuming as I increase my game list. So how do you guys update your games list? Does clrmamepro have the option to only scan fix/update my existing hyperspin mame roms rather than adding the entire rom collection to it?
loganm187 Posted October 2, 2012 Posted October 2, 2012 I am getting a lot of games that do not NEED CHD's yet MAME is asking for them (X-men arcade, Battle toads arcade, etc.) Is this because I need to update them? where do I get this updated ROM set? I will download clrmamepro now.
pandem Posted October 2, 2012 Posted October 2, 2012 I use clrmamepro but found this guide once and found it really easy to follow giving step by step instructions Clrmamepro Guide
mitchm Posted April 10, 2014 Posted April 10, 2014 I followed the tutorial thanks.... i wanted to ask something though.... i obvioulsy need to update mame first for the romset i have right ? eg... i just grabbed 0.153 full split set from PD..... but my mame is 0.152... i would need to update to 0.153 then run clrmame so it can do its job correctly right ? Just making sure im going through the right process ... thanks.
joe35car Posted April 10, 2014 Posted April 10, 2014 Yes create a dat from the new MAME153 exe or you can grab the dat from PD. Usually at the beginning of the post for the new release and follow the instructions there.
gadget2k Posted April 11, 2014 Posted April 11, 2014 sorry i'm kind of new here what is PD? pleasuredome [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
DeLuSioNaL29 Posted April 11, 2014 Posted April 11, 2014 I use RomVault with the latest DAT file from PD. Once it's all updated/stripped automatically by RomVault, I join the new version of the torrent in progress and then it usually starts at like 80%. This avoids having to download the whole thing again. The torrent then fills in the gaps for a complete set. Video on how it's done (by the author of RomVault) here: D
mitchm Posted April 13, 2014 Posted April 13, 2014 Hi guys i used clrmame to fix my 0.153 full spit set, all worked great... i recently grabbed the CHD's but when i go and do the same scan and try and rebuild it, it says SKIPPED FILES and they are all skipped does not fix anything... What am i doing wrong ??? Cheers
rascaluk Posted April 14, 2014 Posted April 14, 2014 You have to use a dat file as I don't think it can rebuild CHDs from Mame I read on PD. Was just heading here myself to get somebody to talk me through it. I have the dat from PD.... Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD
