Der ROM-Renamer ClrMamePro wurde an MAME 0.89 angepasst und ist nun in der Version 3.50 verfügbar.
Das sind die Änderungen:
- Set-Subfolder support was added. THE most requested thing since years...well...enjoy (and test) it.
- Read the whatsnew.txt file carefully if you´re interested in setsubfolders.
- If you´re a standard Just-MAME user...don´t care...MAME doesn´t use set-subfolders.
- Several other improvements/fixes were made too...take a look at whatsnew.
- Feel free to donate

The ROM-Renamer ClrMamePro has been updated.
Looks like it´s 2010 and hell freezes over...or an early xmas present...
Added Set-Subfolder support.
This includes full scanner/rebuilder/merger/dir2dat set-subfolder support for
zipped and unzipped sets.
Set-Subfolders? Yes...you can have folderstructures for
rom/samples/diskimages now...something like:
rom ( name namcopac.6j size 4096 crc 7a36fe55 sha1 01b....
rom ( name sub1pacman.5e size 4096 crc 0c944964 sha1 06e....
rom ( name sub1pacman.5f size 4096 crc 958fedf9 sha1 4a9....
rom ( name sub1sub282s123.7f size 32 crc 2fc650bd sha1 8d02....
rom ( name sub1sub282s126.4a size 256 crc 3eb3a8e4 sha1 1909....
Some things you should know:
============================
- You can use / or in the datfile.
- There is no subfolder limit in the datfile....this is limited by your OS.
- The character ´`´ (chr(96) iirc) is used internally. If you´re using it in
a rom/sample/etc name, it´ll be converted to "´".
- You can´t have empty folders statements. Tough luck...
- You can have equal files (same crc32 and/or same name) in different folders.
Of course this can cause some trouble when a namechange happens.
- Set-Subfolder support is NOT the same as rompath-subfolder support. Think
about it...you´ll easily see the differences.
- Since samples don´t have size or any hashvalue stored, clrmamepro´s name
check isn´t used for samples. Now combined with samples in a subfolders, you
can run into a missing sample subwav / unneeded sample wav issues.
- Some zipprograms add some special folder entry for subfolders. ClrMamePro
doesn´t and can optionally mark these space-wasting structures as unneeded.
The extra structure is NOT needed and is NOT zip standard anyway.
- Since it´s the first release with set-subfolder support...test it if you
find something suspicious, lemme know. I can´t see all possible sideeffects
by now so it´s your own risk to use it
...and some more whatsnew....
=============================
added: profiler->clear cache button
misc: improved diskimage unneeded/wrong placed detection
misc: dir2dat doesn´t include 0-byte files
misc: rebuilder beep is now a gobal setting
misc: some minor changes to cache load/save and backupfolder routines
misc: replaced official buttonbar (old one is available in the buttons folder)
misc: changed backup behaviour. Only zip backup´ed files if they were
in a zip before. This prevents unneeded chd files from being zipped
misc: changed rebuilder display from "x rebuilt | y skipped" to "x matched"
since a match doesn´t necessarily mean the file is being created.
fixed: fixmessagebox doubles the character &
fixed: rebuilder backup option wasn´t used when working with zipped files.
It used the settings backup..tsk tsk tsk
fixed: some uncatched exceptions in chd reading routines
