In the xml created appears also the CRC of those roms ??? Or only the name ???

[emb]

If you specify a dat file or rom path, it will populate the CRCs.

Is this still currently only no-intro formatted dat's?

[emb]

Correct

Pm me with a dat example that is formatted differently. I can now easily add support in for it.

I'll test the hell out of this program, I have thirteen unmarked/randomly named systems on standby.

[Dreygor]

Oh my .. he just built Skynet!

You can add me to your guinea pig test group .. I will have some time off this coming week (or two)

So I'm trying to rename zips but its forcing me to unzip the archive, which I don't want to do. Can you make that an option? I simply want to match the zip file name as a rom and rename that. Once renamed, I will extract them into subfolders with the correct folder names, then let kodiak's script rename for me.

I already have that feature coded in 4.3.2 beta. I just have not had a chance to do enough testing for it to distribute another beta. Remember to backup your data before using.

Id be glad to try out the beta as well if you need another tester!

i need to rename a gamecube set that is all 7z, i could test that?

[emb]

It depends, whats inside the 7z file? Iso? Bin? Cue?

This tool will only rename files and will not modify the contents of a file (like cue files)

Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk 2

[brownvim]

Most are just iso, few have cue.

[relic]

ill do testing for you again emb no worries

[goldenteeplanet]

I might be a little late to the party but I think what you did here is amazing and I would love to try it out. It looks like you already have plenty of testers but if you need one more I would be happy to help, thanks again!

[tastyratz]

I had an idea for list merger. Would it be possible to add drag and drop support and or ability to select multiple files when adding?

I used splitter for example to break up the mame database up by year but instead I have a ton of xml files. My original goal was to just clip off everything prior to 1985 or at least split into a secondary xml. Adding them 1 by 1 that way can be a bear when the db gets updated.

[nikeymikey]

Hi I'm a bit of newbie when it comes to HS but so far I've managed to use the current tools available to do what I need, got 10 systems all up and running perfectly so far. However I have a full set of GameCube and 3do isos to rename, so I'd be glad to test for you if it's any help.

Thanks

[gerardogelizondo]

its possible to ask, the ability to re size the video window???

[relic]

could we have the fix button which corrects and renames missing roms which is included in xmls cause i recentley tested atari 5200 and it said there are 71 roms in total but 2 were missing even so they were in the xml

ps if you need help let me know

[bgosteli]

I'd gladly help test!

[protonic]

This looks good and I would love to test this out on my PSX, GameCube and Dreamcast sets

[swindmiller]

Would like to test this out as well. Apparently all of my roms are not named to standard.

[djordman]

If you still need another tester I'll be glad to try this out on my Dreamcast set it looks like a fabulous application to me!
