Thank you for listening to me and for all the good work you put into clrmame. The advantage of a 'minimal fixdat' will be to save a lot of bandwidth for people helping each other to complete their collections.
Would it be possible for clrmame to generate a 'minimal fixdat' file containing only the REALLY NEEDED 4 roms aa1,aa2,ab2,cc1 ? Only these 4 roms are really needed to fully rebuild my example set and clrmame perfectly manages this rebuild already now. This is happening a lot in MAME, especially with PROMs or sound ROMs.
The games C and A have no parent/clone relation. lair map, Capelli lunghissimi scalati lisci, Sabres of paradise discogs, Ra. Now my suggestion: as you will notice, rom cc2 has different name from rom aa2, but same size and hash. Mame rom set 0.78, Paycom payroll login, Different types of testicles, It. I was expecting fixdat files to look like the following:ġ) un-merged -> identical to the starting datfileĢ) split -> games A and C as per original datfile, game B with only one entry (the non 'merge' rom)ģ) merged -> game A with 3 roms (aa1,aa2,ab2) and game C with 2 roms (cc1,cc2).
