Complete Collections at EmuMovies

[Circo]

Hi Circo.

I have some questions I don't think have been covered so far:

1. I like to keep sets sorted with GoodMerge, and it has occurred to me that these vids probably won't display in the 'main' game lists, but only when the archive's opened, and the full game name is visible (flags et al)? can any one confirm this? This would be a real blow to bringing emumovies into my gameex setup.

2. Also; how does the set maintain accuracy with no intro and goodx sorting? surely a game can only have one file name, and i understand this is the only common denominator for matching movie and rom?

3. And finally, will you also be maintaining dats to go along with these sets? I spent eons downloading the HQ sets and found it difficult to keep up with the updates very early on. Absolutely vital to keep track of IMHO.

But assuming Goodx naming compatibility is OK - and the goodmerge thing does not stop vids being displayed in main gamelists - i will absolutely be investing in the ftp service!

Thanks in advance for any help you can offer Circo - and congratulations once again on what is an incredible repository of game media!

#1 Honestly I am not sure, I list the naming convention used in the info files. What I have been doing is using the latest rom sets (usually no-intro) then I am making sure that all files use the same file name. So as long as your rom set matches that of the one listed in the info file you will be ok. I am not familiar with Goodmerge so maybe someone else can answer that.

#2 Did #1 answer that?

#3 As far as .dats for videos probably not, the mame torrent will automatically update itself each time as long as your directory structure matches the torrent. I changed the directory structure on the last update and it will not change again. Concerning all of the other video sets, there are currently some file name issues because of the age of them but that is being worked on. A .dat file will probably not work well here either as I have been re editing or redoing most if not all of the vids to be more in line with my more recent sets. So as the video sets are re-released they will be completely different files. There is A LOT of work to be done on this still.

In the meantime, while the video names are not perfect, I believe gameex has a sort of fuzzy match feature and I have heard that it works well.

Just to be clear: The only files on EmuMovies.com that ARE NOT direct downloads are the video files. Snaps, Titles, Carts, Boxes, Manuals & Overlays have direct links on the respective "Collections" pages.

Very nice work Circo!

I've been on your site a few times before... I didn't realize you were here on the GameEx forum!

Love your snaps! Perfect loops for your video snaps are awesome! You really do a nice job and I'm sure it's a lot of work! Awesome!

This community gets better every single day.

Keep in mind that so far I have not uploaded any updated video sets to the torrent. So they may not match up with all the other artwork just yet. There will be announcements on the EmuMovies news section (and probably here) as that begins to happen.
