Title: Mame 130u1 CHD changes
Post by: southpaw13 on March 19, 2009, 02:37:33 pm: Oh No! All Chd's need to be updated according to Mamedev. Can anyone make a batch file to do this?

Thanks for your help,
Southpaw

Here's what I've made: Be sure to change the first line to point to the folder that contains the chd folders...my chd folders were all in the 'rom' folder...
And change the line "c:\mame\chdman" to point to your chdman exe. AND USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!

dir /b /s /A:D c:\mame\roms >list.txt
FOR /F "tokens=1" %%A IN (list.txt) do (
   dir /s /b %%A\*.chd > filelist.txt
   FOR /F "tokens=1" %%f IN (filelist.txt)   do (
      c:\mame\chdman -update %%f %%f_n
      del %%f
      move %%f_n %%f
   )
)

Yep...no error messages.

Do all the CHD's including the LD's need to be updated from Mame 130?

If so, what is the best way to convert all the CHD's? Is it by using a batch file? or are there other options?

If the batch file is the only option, Is there a batch file which someone can provide that:

Reads the original CHD's from one directory (without modifying the CDS's), and converts the CHD's to a destination directory?

BTW. My CHD are in root subdirectories and not in the root rom folder itself.

Any feedback is kindly appreciated,

Dariusz
