RIP-Felix Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Make sure your attachment is not in rar format. Make sure it is .zip.It's in 7z format, but I could package it in ZIP if you like. 7zip is a free program and .7z achieves better compression than .zip. Although for png images its not much.

starbuck Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Felix The roms names in the map files conform to no-intro. I using MESS and they are working fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIP-Felix Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Could you point me to a DAT file that I can use with clrmamepro or romcenter to rename these, so we're on the same page. I can't seem to find one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starbuck Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Felix , Not at home tonight, but will be back sometime tommorow and I'll post a dat file for you for ClrMame pro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIP-Felix Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Thanks. I definatly need to be on the same page as the rest of you, as my map file may be useless untill I am! I've been following Krackerman naming convention, but can't verify it works until my romnames match. Till then... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krakerman Posted August 7, 2014 Author Share Posted August 7, 2014 @Starbuck One thing I noticed is you spelled comming soon! wrong on the cart at the top. Should be coming soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starbuck Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Checked and I have the dat file on my external drive I have with me . I hope to have the rest of the placeholders done by this weekend. I'm then going to work on the Atari 5200 and the Atari 7800. I 'm almost done with the map files FOR THOSE SYSTEMS . Gameex won't let me load the dat file Send me a private PM with your e-mail address and I'll sent it to your E-MAIL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krakerman Posted August 7, 2014 Author Share Posted August 7, 2014 zip the dat file then it will work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIP-Felix Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Know of a good tutorial for this, neither clrmamepro or romcenter when pointed at the romlist and dat find anything to rename. I mean the roms show up but arn't recognized or fixed when scan is run, they're just skiped as if they're missing. They are working roms (unziped) that play fine in mess. I thought it would recognize the files and rename them? This is annoying. Last time I messed with rom managers, I hoped it would be the last...NOPE!

Krakerman Posted August 7, 2014 Author Share Posted August 7, 2014 The names inside the zip need to match the name of the zipfile. So if it is named Space Invaders (USA).zip look in the zip and make sure it is named the same way as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIP-Felix Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 OK, I used the re-builder in clrmamepro to re-compress all my roms. That's why they weren't showing up. It automatically renamed them too, most of them anyway. One of them it missed was Cosmic Ark !!! I manually renamed it and compressed it to the same name in the map, but it still won't play . The others I tried are working though, so I think were in the clear, for the most part. I still have to check my maps and asses the completeness of my sets, assuming I can resolve it with clrmamepro. Anyway, thanks for the quick help guys. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIP-Felix Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Well scratch that. I thought that cleared it up but it didn't. Now my set is renamed correctly, all artwork pngs and maps match, and the bins are each within a zip named exactly the same as their contents. I'm using the default map from pak 6, database and change name to match database are off in settings. Rompath is good, working path is good, and command line is working. Games appear correctly and all play fine when no map file is selected.Cluster [insert explicit 4 letter word]!!!

starbuck Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Here are the rest of the Atari 200 placeholders. All games in the database should have a game theme. Now when Krakermanm Felix or others do game themes, simply copy over the placeholder and you'll be golden. Thanks to Krakerman and Felix for their great game themes. I'll sure in the future there will be many more fantastic themes developed by them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIP-Felix Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Ok, starbuck. I've updated the coming soon standin to conform to changes made in the theme design and to correct spelling. It looks pretty good I think. See post #683.I left it in the .pdn format so you can open it in paint.net and edit changes yourself as necessary. All the layers are named, so you shouldn't have a hard time figuring out what's what. The hard part will be updating the standin sets, yikes!

starbuck Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 Felix the coming soon looks good. But one of the controllers is not a Atari 2600 controller. It is for the Colecovision and did not work on the Atari 2600. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
