Clrmamepro 4.034 released
You might still experience issues with the update process with 4.033 due to some server changes. This should be finally resolved with 4.034. If you like you can download the new update.dll here separately, extract it over the old one and use the update button afterwards...or you simply download the cmpro package manually.
What a special day today....20 years ago...yes twenty years...the very first version of clrmame was released. Back then it was a win32 commandline tool. 1999 cmwin, a first windows ui version was released and finally in 2000 clrmamepro came out. In 1997 MAME had no zip support, no merging and actually not even crc32 was used for hashing...good old times ;-) And today...look at that beauty of emulator. What a success, what a huge amount of emulated sets. Times are changing, I've tried to update cmpro as good as possible to keep track of the changes made in MAME. I'd like to thank all the users who supported me over the years...some of them from the beginning till today. Without you, I would have stopped cmpro a long time ago. So....keep me busy. Thanks again. And yeah...here's the latest version 4.033.
Since the homepage is now https, you need to download this update manually. The updater will work again once you have 4.033 installed
wow...time flies...finally I found a little time to release clrmamepro 4.032. Generally some updates for the profiler/batcher. Thanks for all the testers/supporters.

Clrmamepro 4.030 released. An important update for next MAME version which will have some multiple crc32 hash collisions within the same set...pretty rare thing but cmpro takes care. Also huge thanks to Shoegazr who did endless testing on Linux helping me to find a weird directory walk issue on ext4 formatted drives.

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
