Utils for checking for broken roms? (mame)
« on: March 26, 2005, 10:36:45 am »
I did a quick search here for 'broken roms' and am
looking for a utililty to compare my latest version of mame
against my roms, so I can pull out any that aren't working.

I found a posting that Emuloader can do this?
Are there any other stand alone utils that can detect (and maybe
even report back) which roms would be broken?

...so I will ask you... "Deal, or No Deal?"

Not sure what I'm doing wrong here...
I'm not getting the results I'm looking for.

I have the latest dat file for my version of mame,
CLRMame scans through the games okay,
but in the HAVE LIST, it lists all the roms I have -
whether they have the correct files in the .zip file or not.
(I even purposly sabotaged one of my .zip files to see
if it would detect differrently.  Even though I couldnt play
it, CLRMame detected it as a rom I had installed)

Is there a way that I can get a list of Which roms I have
that aren't working, or do I have to work my way
through a complete log of every single Mame game to see
which ones I have and  if in fact it is working?

I guess I need a little advice here.
I read through the link above for instructions,
 but I only want to perform this one task so I know which
 Rom files to delete off my system.  I dont care about
 games I dont have....
