Re: Dat-o-Matic P/Clone XML <release name> Field issue
So if the DAT is correct and ClrMamePro got it wrong, why do we cater to this buggy software instead of reporting and possibly fixing the bug?

I am not 100% sure DAT is correct, I wait confirmations.
I "touched" the XML export function and broke it since a month...

I think Dat is incorrect instead of software buggy, so reported it to here.Tauwasser wrote:So if the DAT is correct and ClrMamePro got it wrong, why do we cater to this buggy software instead of reporting and possibly fixing the bug?

Re: Dat-o-Matic P/Clone XML <release name> Field issue
Current Nintendo DS Parent-Clone (20141018-130325) - ok with "Labyrinth (Ravensburger)", thanks!
but still has problem with tags in release names:
ClrMame trying to pack it to "Pony Friends 2 " instead of "Pony Friends 2". Like "P/Clone List" batch mode:
So I guess P/C sets should have no tags in release names (e.g. all [] () must be stripped with except of (Ravensburger) or any other special cases).
but still has problem with tags in release names:
Code: Select all
<game name="Pony Friends 2 (Europe) (En,Fr,De,Es,It) [b]">

Re: Dat-o-Matic P/Clone XML <release name> Field issue
That problem is yourself, its software buggy really, you should use rebuild function in ClrMamepro instead of fix function.ajax16384 wrote:Current Nintendo DS Parent-Clone (20141018-130325) - ok with "Labyrinth (Ravensburger)", thanks!

But I dont think tag should be added in release name, too.

I dont think "Version" and "Devstatus" should be added in release name.
If the roms are same games, release name should be same too.

Re: Dat-o-Matic P/Clone XML <release name> Field issue
The "merge" names for each ROM pack got the name of the Parent ROM name, losing que correct name of the pack. Check this example:
Correct pack name:
007 - Quantum of Solace
Current pack name:
007 - Quantum of Solace (Europe) (En,Fr)
Correct pack name:
007 - Quantum of Solace
- 2844 - 007 - Quantum of Solace (Europe) (En,Fr)
- 2934 - 007 - Quantum of Solace (USA) (En,Fr)
- 3409 - 007 - Quantum of Solace (Europe) (Es,It)
- 3565 - 007 - Quantum of Solace (Korea)
Current pack name:
007 - Quantum of Solace (Europe) (En,Fr)
- 2844 - 007 - Quantum of Solace (Europe) (En,Fr)
- 2934 - 007 - Quantum of Solace (USA) (En,Fr)
- 3409 - 007 - Quantum of Solace (Europe) (Es,It)
- 3565 - 007 - Quantum of Solace (Korea)

I attach the datfile generated with the old version of DOM of june 2013, with a recent dump of data.
tag was in.
Same for (Rev 1).
Are you sure you are using CM in the correct way?

Re: Dat-o-Matic P/Clone XML <release name> Field issue
I have the same problem here and I'm using Clrmame (4.016) the way I always have.
First I set up rom paths and organize regions:

When loading the dat in the scanner this happens:

I'm on Win7 SP1 x64 just in case that's needed info.
