Version 0.8 is working afaik. No known serious bugs or anything like this. Maybe you could give it a try again with starting from a clean config. And if you still have trouble please post a log file that I can see what went wrong with it.

Ok I got it going...seems that portable isn't so nice. It's scanning as we speak.

kruuth · 2011-02-07 02:23

I spoke too soon...I've got version .8 on there but it's only showing a single game. I'm doing this only with MAME. Is there some trick I'm maybe missing?

Did you check your filter settings? Maybe you have selected a special combination (publisher, year, etc.) hat only occurs once.

What did the log say after importing games? Maybe there was an error in your config?

There are also some scrapeResult_xxx files in your userdata folder showing what games could not be found.

I don't think so. I'll have to get into my logs tonight, but it was only listing 2 games total. Is there some way to reconfig version .8 so it asks for directories and the like all over again?

malte · 2011-02-07 20:23

No, not yet. This is planned for one of the next versions. Atm you can only edit config.xml manually or delete the config file to start the wizard again.

Great....

So the wizard will ask me?

I'm using mameui32, with the full compliment of titles. I can't see why this won't work.

BTW, it looks good btw. I'd like to know if you'd be good doing a 4th display option, with the name on the left and a large screenshot on the right with the marquee on the top or something of the like.

Ok I'm looking in the config folder and in the possible mismatches file is 33k. It looks to be the entire MAME listing.

How did you name your files? RCB expects them to be in the short MAME format like "2020bb.zip", "altbeast.zip" etc.

There is no name matching or title guessing for MAME roms. RCB will go directly to the maws page with the romname (without extension): http://maws.mameworld.info/maws/romset/alienar

Yep, that's how they are named. As of now it says I have zero games after the rescan yet under the scrapeResult_possibleMismatches file it looks like the entire distro is there. Mameui32 reports i've got over 8900 romsets in there.
