@Rion Thanks. I used your files. Really useful. Especially the multi bat is very useful in my setup.
I was toying around yesterday with clrmame and romcenter to organise a 0.78 file, but I found it quite hard for a noob. Your files do help a lot !

Pifba hasn't changed. Did you maybe switch emulator?

Thanks :)

I updated https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/19741/goodbye-fbalpha-welcome-fbneo with informations that could be useful

@barbudreadmon - I've grabbed the new DATs and see the information. Thanks a lot for adding it! I find it a very useful quick reference if a game has a working status. Much appreciated! :)

Sorry for pinging you all, but I wanted to make you all aware that I missed two erotic games.

The games in question are Bubble 2000 (bubl2000) and Pang Pang (pangpang).

Sorry for missing them: especially so if any of you have children. Thank Malachiel from our Discord server for informing me about those two games. If any of you have found any games in the erotic, casino, mahjong, or quiz genres, then please let me know: especially so when it comes to the erotic ones.

The 001, 002 etc extensions means that they are sequential parts of the same compressed file. Try opening the 001 file with 7Zip, or something else that reads 7Z files.

@pllaguno said in multirom .7z:

is there a way to select which one to open? or do i have to get into each one of them and erase the ones i don't like?

You'll need to weed through them yourself.

@hurkgt18 No, see https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Nintendo-Entertainment-System/

@ruicunha I am assuming you are referring to MAME? And rebuilding using Clrmamepro? If so, then you dont have to rebuild a whole romset you can rebuild a smaller subset if you wish.

@obliv Links to ROMs and requests for ROMs are not part of this forum - please read the rules.

@red2blue said in Arcade Questions (Romsets, Updating, MAME FBA):

@dankcushions so i finally got the 0.2.97.42 romset, when i replace my 0.2.97.39 romset do i overwrite the .39 roms or can i just skip???

some .39 ones will work in current FBA, some won't. i personally replace all.

also when i compare, 2.97.39 is 10 gb's larger than 42's

sets can be merged, non-merged, complete, just parents, etc. all these methods result in different sizes. there's various ways of building a romset, and i guess your two sets were done in different ways.

@bmac6996 it's installed by default. you can see what emulators you have/haven't installed via the script.

@petrorie The other reason for using US romsets would be because of the NTSC framerate vs the PAL framerate. I know that it is an improvement for many console systems, but I'm not sure if there was a difference on arcade games.

@shoothere the latest romset now has the decryption key in the rom instead of the emulator for cps1 and 2 games. So with the updated fba, most capcom games just stopped working.

@mediamogul Haha! :)

@phulshof said in Scrapes of full romsets available?:

finding corresponding game sets is rather easy. :)

In your (or my) case certainly ;) because I think you already have a "clean" romset, or a well known romset like NO-INTRO without renamed file ;)

but I can garanty it's not always so easy ;) I have associated manually about 4000 Roms to there own games (on 470000+ Screenscraper DB have) and sometime it's a real pain in the A. to match a file like "XmZ2.zip" to the good game ;) Even when you know on wich system it is ;)

That's why I spoke about a "universal" file... It's just impossible it works on 100% case (even 80% will be a miracle ;) )

I have an eye on what UXS Scrape in the world and what is found or not by the API on Screenscraper (API Error Result Page) and every day their is lot's of.... "silly thing ?"
Gameboy game scraped as MegaCD game,
File like "_1.zip",
100Ko Iso file,
And so much different case...

An other thing, creating theses files mean creating a "new" local DB... because it will be very hard to have "complete" file.
You always found someone who have the "special Hack Edition Unrealeased merged Turbo ' Alpha 2 zero Russian translation".
That's why DB like Screenscraper, TheGameDb, and others were created ;)

The only way it "may" works is to create these files only for Known Full romset. Like NO-INTRO, retrobution, Tosec,... But it mean 1 file by System and 1 file by romset creator... A huge work to do ^^

In any way, feel free to take what you need on Screenscraper ;) it's CC ;)
(And if your work is in the same "mind" with better info/media, we will certainly ask if it's possible to reverse the process to fill the DB ;) )

@lostless i see your taking selfies again. I also noticed there are no ice cold corona's already at the table. Remind me not to ever visit that resort...
