      Be forewarned - with some arcade games, one clone works better than the original/main.

      Indeed, see these lists for examples:

      that's super weird

      That's because of retroarch limitations, see https://github.com/libretro/FBNeo/issues/37 and linked issues.

      @amishgamer Yeah, I forgot to use Clone Spy for automatic removal. Found out about that two days ago. Also, there are a few more differently named duplicates that I'm slowly removing for a full release.

      I'm currently working on my ideal ROM set of USA>World/Europe>Japan, but I suppose I can fix up those batch files in the meantime.

      Also, I just found out about this simple program for building ROM sets. https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/15233/mame-set-rebuilder

      @grant2258 You're right. My mistake was that I used mame2003 instead of mame2003-plus. That was the reason the xml wasn't generated in ../arcade/mame2003_plus where I looked first.

      To access the MAME tab menu, I ran a game that I thought was using mame2003-plus, but either I changed its runcommand setting back to mame2003 in the past or an update did it. Thanks.

      @riverstorm That's definitely an issue in the fba code, i'll report it upstream.

      Thanks, missing one ROM from the whole set...aaargh! ;)

      fair enough. please edit the wiki if you can find a nice way of including that information.

      for me those customized .dats probably shouldn't be used by beginners at all. the beginner approach should always be to put the right romset in the right folder and not mess about with dats or clrmamepro at all :)

      from the old forums.

      there are also many guides throughout the mame community. at some point someone may feel ambitious enough to make a guide on the wiki

      For computer based systems stick to Tosec. No-Intro for consoles and Trurip for cd based consoles.

      @dankcushions Not picking a fight, not in the slightest. As far as I am concerned I have done nothing wrong. I see people being referred to search engines all the time. If I had posted a direct link I would apologise and move on. Archivedotorg is nothing more than a repository. Referring people to it breaks none of the forum's rules as far as I, and others, are concerned.
      Where is the dotuk link in any of my "non-conforming" posts?

      Just to let everyone know I created a renamer for gb64 v15. It is also compatible with other versions and other gamebases. Here it is, it is a simple batch file, created through the database and a spreadsheet. [https://mega.nz/#F!cjBFwIQL!TCjFtUUEjdltJ3mmECPONg](link url)

      Instructions on how to convert to other gamebases.

      Open Database file (in this case it was C:\GameBase\GBC_v15\GBC_v15.mdb)

      Open the Attached spreadsheet file

      Copy Full Row of GA_ID, NAME, and Filename from Database to spreadsheet

      The rest should be automatic, unless there is more than 25,000 entries. In that case you will need to copy d2-F2 to d250001 - D ?? ??=to wherever file list ends

      On first line of new text file type the path to the games for instance C:\GB64

      Copy Row D to new text file

      Save text file as "Name of gamebase renamer.bat"

      run new text file

      optional: add Pause at the end of the batch file

      Optional: Column E shows number of special characters (this mainly finds the letters with tildies and appostrophies)

      @allenpie that's great I will send you a message at the weekend. If the Vm is Windows then it will run as for samba as long as you have read write permissions for set the directory as a network drive it will be fine. Hoping that you will be able to help fine tune the program as at the moment it's all done from my point of view! Thanks!
