Rebuilder 0.01 released

Yes...something new, something fast, something I've enjoyed coding. Rebuilder is a small commandline tool which has some advantages over the rebuilder in clrmamepro. Faster, Standalone merge mode, CHD rebuild to name a few.

Change Log

4.046b

  • fixed: unsorted disk array can rarely cause random unneeded chd messages (4.046b)
  • revert: since MAME does not support subfolders on unpacked sets, the disk names handling change from 4.046a needs to be reverted (4.046a)
  • fixed: support for other sample extensions is broken
  • fixed: more compatibility for standalone rebuilder tool in handling disk names in full merged mode (hash collision mode)
  • fixed: more compatibility for standalone rebuilder tool in handling of devices with romof attributes in full merged mode
  • misc: updated 7zip sdk/dll tp 2201

Vista/Windows7/8/10 user note:

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.

Linux WINE/Mac Crossover user note:

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
