Hi !

Cowering's Goodsamc doesn't recognize some of 153 new roms
(61 if I remember well) unless they are unzipped, and ClrMame doesn't recognize any of my 796 roms, zipped or unzipped, wich were previously 0.995 perfect with ClrMame dat.

Did I miss something here ?

Thanks ! :)

No problems here. You're either using a wrong scanmode (remember: rompath\setname\rom 1 .. rom n for unzipped and rompath\setname.zip for zipped sets), or your roms aren't headerless (most have a romsize of 819200 bytes).

This is from the latest Good.doc that comes with the tools :

=============================================
Notes for GoodSAMC V2.03

Don't bitch about the new TD0 support. 'goodsamc convert' works
to change compressed TD0 files (both types) into raw DSK
images. I coded the TD0 together just enough to make normal
SAMC disk images decompress. If you find a WORKING SAMC image
that GoodSAMC can't decompress into a .dsk, email me and i'll
figure it out. Thanks to some russian website for pointers to
TD0 data structures and to some other site for showing the
TD0 'advanced compression' was just LZSS in disguise.
=============================================

So, just leave the 60 roms uncompressed & run 'goodsamc convert' and it will convert them all to dsk format.

Wow, I just overlocked this, sorry :(
I swear that the first thing I do when a new Goodtool surfaces is reading the docs, I just missed it this time.

Thank you Roman and Salmonking, you were very helpful.
