| ClrMamePro "nodumps" ? |

| Jakobud:
What is a "nodump" anyways? I don't understand this aspect of ClrMamePro. Nodump I think means that it's a rom that was not dumped at the present time of creation of the DAT you are using. If that's the case, why is it even in the dat? I am checking over some old sets (from Mame 0.61) and am finding some 'nodumps' in there. What does this mean? Does nodump mean that its a rom that is there, but is unneeded? |

You know when you run a game and it says 'No good dump know' and a list of rom(s)? Often the game will still play (with errors)... ClrMAME just highlights these, so you probably have the best available...until dumps of those missing or bad are found. At least that's how I understand it ::) |

BTW nodumps are just what it says, not inc. bad dumps as I implied earlier ::) |

Mine says I'm missing 241 "nodumps" is that where my 182mb of 45gb comes from? my whole set is almost 13gb, so that's a lot more than a 182mb difference. I'm trying to get the nodump and missing bytes figured out. does this look right for a 103 set? Missing Sets: 0 of 5943 Wrong SetName Case: 0 [0 fixed] Wrong Named Sets: 0 [0 fixed] Missing Roms: 241 (241 are 'nodumps') of 86253 Missing Bytes: 182mb of 45gb Wrong Named Roms: 0 [0 fixed] Wrong RomName Case: 0 [0 fixed] Wrong Sized Roms: 0 [0 fixed] Wrong Date/Time Roms: 0 [0 fixed] Wrong CRC32s: 0 Wrong MD5s: <n/a> Wrong SHA1s: <n/a> Missing Samples: 0 of 2461 Wrong SampleName Case: 0 [0 fixed] Missing DiskImages: <n/a> Wrong DiskImageName Case: <n/a> Wrong Named DiskImages: <n/a> Wrong CHD_MD5/SHA1s: <n/a> Unneeded Files/Folders: 1 [0 fixed] Number Of Sets: 5943 Number Of BIOS sets: 25 Number Of Parents: 1338 Number Of Clones: 2715 Number Of Others: 1890 Number Of Roms: 86253 Number Of Samples: 2461 Number Of 'nodump' ROMs: 241 Number Of 'baddump' ROMs: 325 |
