So I made the jump from Windows to Linux at the beginning of this year, and well, ClrMame is the only app I cannot replace, seeing as it is THE BEST utility for what it does ;) With that said, I have noticed a few things that don't work correctly, and was hoping that they could be fixed.

1) The profiler's www mode is broken. When I first installed ClrMame it would detect all of the new DATs, but I could only download the ones on the ClrMame server. What's worse, after closing the app it now no longer downloads any updated DATs, although the ClrMame program updater works flawlessly.

2) I have noticed that some of my sets have had zip errors, and was wondering if these could be caused by Linux. So far the errors have been duplicate file entries and invalid headers. Will running a "Full zip structure scan" always detect and report these zip errors?

3) Everything is WAY slower in linux, doing a full MAME scan takes over 24 hours now, as opposed to the one hour it took in Windows. I'm guessing this is because it is essentially running emulated, but I thought I'd ask if there was anyway to speed this up?

4) Lastly, with the release of Mono, are you any more inclined to do a Linux build, seeing as Mono will compile existing .NET code and create a Linux executable? If that were to happen I'd have no more use for Wine :)

Oh, speaking of, it probably would be helpful if I posted my specs huh? :)

AMD Athlon 1900+
