Hi, I just tried to audit a few uncompressed Amiga-Roms. I tried both the official TOSEC CM and RC Dats, with the same Result:

Although the Roms are the right ones( tested in TGUID and RC ), and ClrMame is displaying the right *required* CRC in the "missing Rom" Entry, it says the ROM is missing.

If I put the Roms in a Zip-Archive it works.

I need some more datailed information about which rom, which datfile, where you've stored the unzipped file, etc.
Maybe the file was just skipped because it was in use. Check the warningswindow below the scanner for details. The checksumroutines are working correctly.


Best thing would be: mail me the datfile, the file and tell me exactly how to repeat your problem. Where you stored the file etc..


*edit* I did several tests. The checksum calculation works fine for unzipped and zipped files. Guess your file was locked or your pc caused a random crc32 error. No idea. Send me the used files and I will recheck your results.

It happens to ALL Dats and uncompressed Roms that I tried.

But it doesnt seems to relate to the Checksum Algorythm - its the same without using ANY Checksums.

The Files arent locked and its not related to a single Rom - I just sent you a Mail a few mins ago

Sorry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I found out that ClrMame expects the roms to be in a set-folder.

hehehe...yeah...I mailed back :O) ztnet mail may take some time.

Btw....I already found out more about the '2. long filenames..' thing I've described in the mail. The problem is that

"D:\temp\test\UNIX System V Release 4 Amiga Version 2.01 Installation Disk 1 (1991)(Commodore-Amiga)(A2500-A3000UX)\UNIX System V Release 4 Amiga Version 2.01 Installation Disk 1 (1991)(Commodore-Amiga)(A2500-A3000UX).adf"

is too long for a path/filename. I doubt I will add an additional check for that. Using zipped files will work fine.
