Title: Software to find roms with missing screenshots
Post by: markronz on November 17, 2008, 08:38:05 am

I'm trying to find out if there is any software out there that will go through my list of roms, and go through my list of screenshots, compare the two, and tell me what games do not have a matching screenshot.    I've tried searching the forum, but with search words like "screenshots, missing, program" you can imagine, it returns a huge variety of things.

I've tried the Fuzzy Rename program, which is cool for finding screenshots/roms with slightly different names, but I'd like to find something that just tells me what ones do NOT have a matching picture.

Let me know if anyone knows of such a software.

Thanks
-Mark

Try this folder compare utility I just made.  It will ignore the file extensions.  So...it will look take test.rom in folder a and look for test.* in folder b.

Code: [Select]

Set dirA=%1
Set dirB=%2

for /f "tokens=*" %%a in ('dir /B /O /b /a-d %dirA%') do echo %%~na>>dirA.txt
for /f "tokens=*" %%a in ('dir /B /O /b /a-d %dirB%') do echo %%~na>>dirB.txt

Echo Files that are found in folder %dirA% but NOT in folder %dirB% >AnotinB.txt
Echo. >>AnotinB.txt
find /V /C "get num lines" dirB.txt >numlines.txt
for /f "tokens=3 delims= " %%B in (numlines.txt) do set /A maxnum=%%B

for /f "tokens=3 delims= " %%B in (numlines.txt) do set /A foundnum=%%B
if %maxnum%==!foundnum! echo %%A >>AnotinB.txt
)
echo ------------------------------------- >>AnotinB.txt

You can use this as well...it was originally written to validate all your support files (selected by you) and then to be able to download the missing ones. I've disabled the ability to download the missing files...but you can still use it to validate what you are missing. Pretty simple to use. You can check to validate against your rom set to determinte what files are missing or leave it unchecked and it will tell you all of the missing files...
