Well, if you want to play around with the tools outside of the MAME world (i.e. load other datfiles which clone the XML layout from MAME (e.g. dir2dat created ones and others floating around), you can use this package.It allows you to load more datfiles than the typical MAME ones.

scanner 0.01 and rebuilder 0.08

Happy to give you the first release of the new scanner together with an updated rebuilder. If you followed the project on the forum you know that this is not yet a full clrmamepro replacement but we're on a good way. There is no profiler yet but you could already switch between some setups (e.g. a -listxml and -listsoftware profile). Hope you enjoy it as much as I did. Donations are graciously accepted ;-).

clrmamepro is totally free and you don't have to donate anything. Since a lot people asked me how they can donate something, I added a PayPal account.

Thanks a lot for all kind of donations. Your support is highly appreciated.

4.049

• fixed: falsely remove backup's _unknown folder in case of a failed backup which might remove already backuped and removed unneeded files. Only if _unknown folder isn't present before.
• fixed: skip a non software list rompath if it is also assigned to a non active software list which would list all sets in that path as fully missing (combined mode only)
• fixed: missing disk merging information within softwarelists, so that some identical chds stay in the clone set (combined mode only)
• added: verify delta chds (via chdman)

If you install cmpro to a protected folder like C:\program files\, you have to set the compatibility properties of cmpro.exe to 'run this program as administrator' to work correctly or you have to disable UAC. In other folders it should work fine without setting this property and without the need of disabling UAC.

If you got problems with the main window, set the option 'Adv_HideWindow = off' in cmpro.ini. In case you don't have a cmpro.ini yet, create one with the following two lines:
[CMPRO SETTINGS]
Adv_HideWindow = off

Update your OS!, no really, update your OS
