I do not have any computer that runs windows, so I can't use either Romcenter or ClrMame. I managed to find an open source, runs everywhere replacement fo these, uCON64, but can only read Romcenter formatted datfiles, and not ClrMame ones.
Does anyone have a script for converting between these two formats?
or
Does anyone know a program that can read ClrMame datfiles and will run on linux or mac?
or
Is it possible for Romcenter datfiles to be provided along with the ClrMame ones?
Thanks in advance.

I believe that most people wishing to use clrmamepro for ROM management, run it under Wine

Hi Arturus. I'm not sure if this is gonna help but anyway. There is a tool called DatUtil which can convert between CM and RC formats easily:
http://www.logiqx.com/Tools/DatUtil/
It is a command line (DOS Box) tool and I don't know whether it will run under linux or mac.
Example (where "CM.dat" is your dat of choice in CMPro format):
datutil CM.dat
"datutil.dat" will be generated in RomCenter format.

Hi,
I'm currently working on a crude cross-platform free software ROM management tool in Ruby. If there is interest for it, I will upload it here some time... It currently only supports ClrMamePro DAT files, since I consider them superior to RomCenter DAT files.

That'd be great, but for now, wine works fine. Thanks to everyone.
