Hi!
Ok, I used ClrMAME Pro for a while now under MAME, and decided to audit my PinMAME roms.
The thing is: once you point to the executable and retrieve the ROMS database, in MAME, there are few occasions where oit asks a question. You just press "OK" and it carries on.
Now, with PinMAME, the situation is about the same, BUT I get the message "Alternative Samplefolder of gameset xxxx doesn't exist!" for every sigle rom! Needless to say that having to click "OK" each time is a major pain in the ass. So what do I do? Well, I leave the "Return" key pressed... but then, when it comes across a bunch of roms for which no message pops up, my "Return" key then validates the "Cancel" button, and the "OK" button right behind that! So either I leave "Return" pressed and at some point it's gonna cancel, or I have to wait for the message and press "Return" then... which means doing that around 600 times!

Any chance to have that fixed please? I know it's not a bug, but I'm sure there are ways to improve this behaviour :)

Also, in ZipMax, a major request: would it be possible to drag non-zip files, and have them compressed? For instance, if I drag and drop a bunch of, say, .n64 files, it would be cool to have ZipMax create a ZipMaxed zip archive for each one of these files. For now, I use Stalker v0.6 which works great, but since I have to ZipMax the freshly created archives with ZipMax right after that, integrating this feature within ZipMax itself would sure be kick ass!

Cheers Roman :)

For pinmame you have to use PINMAME as enginetype. (Profiler->Create).

And you can use scanner's 'show datfile bugs' section to prevent prompting.

Oups :S Sorted, I'm so used to audit MAME roms I forgot to check that!

What about ZipMax creating one archive per non-zip file instead of just rezipping, would that be possible? I know, I ask a lot, but it doesn't jurt to ask ;)
Cheers!

The purpose of zipmax is rezipping, not zipping. That won't change.
