GoodSNES Help

[djll]

I'm sure a lot of you pros here are experienced with the Good Tools.  I'm trying to collect a complete SNES set to put in my cabinet and I *think* I have them all, there is only one problem:

When I run GoodSNES it says that I have 3892 of 3900 ROMs.  GoodSNES creates a text file showing which ROMs you are missing.  When I open that text file it shows no files that I am missing and all it says is:

You are missing 0 of 4892 known Nintendo Super NES/Famicom ROMS (0.999.6 BETA)

I'm wondering where the error is?  I'm a perfectionist and want every ROM.  If I find out which ROMs I'm missing I can get them immediately.

Does anyone have any insight on this?

Thanks in advance.

I think you meant 4892 out of 4900.

On a side note, the good tools do identify all of the roms floating around, but you do NOT need all of the roms to have a complete super nintendo game set.  There are countless dupes and bad dumps.  Navigating through 4900 similar roms on a front end would be very obnoxious.  I have 800 SNES roms and cannot imagine why anyone would need 4000 more.

Sorry I could not figure out which 8 you're missing.  The same thing happened in my goodsnes results.   Perhaps it is a goodsnes bug?

Run a check  with Romcenter and see what you get..

nfortunately ROMCenter doesn't have the latest DAT for the SNES collection... It seems like the guy who did the DATs for ROMCenter has sorta stopped or something.

I haven't used it but you should be able to use logiqx's Datutil to convert the clrmame dat to a romcenter dat. Grab it at www.logiqx.com

------
It is possible to convert dats between ClrMamePro and RomCenter with ease. The
most simple way to convert from one format to the other is like this:

datutil <datfile>

This will convert a ClrMamePro dat (listinfo) to a RomCenter datafile or
a RomCenter datafile to a ClrMamePro dat. The new dat is called 'datutil.dat'.
If you want to specify a different output filename, use the '-o' option.

e.g. datutil -o clrmame.dat romcenter.dat

This would convert romcenter.dat, saving the new file as clrmame.dat.
There is also a '-a' option to append to an existing file. This is especially
useful when converting/extracting individual games (explained later).

Thanks liquid.  The only problem is the Good Tools don't use dat files.

Hmm...

ahh.. my bad.. I thought you said you were using Clrmame.. that has 999.6, have you tried it there?
