Getting a warning of file not found for a file that shouldn't be considered

[HVR88]

This might not be a bug, depending on whether you first output text for files found in the source folder matching the dat before evaluating them

Platform: Sega Genesis DAT: current P/Clone generated today at dat-o-matic

Error message: WARNING: candidate [Puyo Puyo Tsuu (Europe) (Ja) (Rev A) (Virtual Console).zip] not found, trying next one WARNING: no eligible candidates for [Puyo Puyo Tsuu (Japan) (Rev A)] have been found!

Parameters: python3 generate.py -r CAN,USA,EUR -l en -e zip --all-regions-with-lang --prefer-parents --no-bios --no-program --no-enhancement-chip --no-beta --no-demo --no-sample --no-promo -d "DAT/SegaGenesis.dat" -i ../source -o ../destination

So the files warned about should be excluded given the "en" language setting. I just found it curious the errors were output at all given this restriction.

Any ETA ? :)

[now, 2021) 😅

if (completion < NOW) ETA = "already done"; else if (completion >= NEVER) ETA = "don't hold your breath"; else if (completion < 2021) ETA = "this year"; // aka soon else ETA = "eventually";

My Nintendo Switch is waiting to load RetroArch and every bit of space counts! Need it ASAP, No pressure!

Any progress you can tell us about? Are you working on an installer and GUI?

[andrebrait]

No installer and no GUI. Currently, I'm just refactoring what's already there.

I have added support for tar.gz, tar.bz2, tar.xz, uncompressed tar, rar and 7z archives, with zip refactored too. I'm adding a bunch of options to recompress (only zip and 7z supported, however), generate a custom DAT as output, choice of folder/archive structures, etc.

Right now, I'm redoing the CLI so it's way easier to expand and change as needed. Just refactoring a lot of code.

All modes will support all methods by which ClrMamePro identifies ROMs (size + crc, md5 and sha1 checksums), with fallback by name. I'm sorry for not adding this sooner, but right now it's not super easy to add, hence the refactoring happening first.

[mspykerez]

Nice! Keep it going.

[HVR88]

All sounds good. Tool was already working quite brilliantly and simply for sorting out 1G1R. I really can't stand clrmamepro. As a long-time SW designer, its absolutely horrific UI and UX make my head spin.

Meanwhile new RetroArch version was released... & you guys are slacking with your releases!!

[andrebrait]

@mspykerez Oh, boy, if only this was not a one-man project which someone does in their free time :joy:

It's coming together. Be patient :wink:

...or learn yourself some Python and submit a PR :sweat_smile:
