I've tried many times over the last couple of years to get ClrMamePro to work, but never succeeded. Its always the same: I point to the mame.exe file to create a datfile, click Load/Update and it says database update is needed. Run mame.exe -listxml. I click OK and get another: Found an incomplete datfile or bad exe output.
I know I'm using command-line mame, and during all my current and former attempts I have used a dozen or more versions both older and current. Several versions of Clrmame, and its always as above. Help would be appreciated! I'm trying to make a datfile to run older mame so I can view .inp files from M.A.R.P (ROMS rarely match the version)
