Some infos about EmuAide Beta
 
Changes since first release are marked like this.

Summary of features

  • Update Mar 21 - Version 1.90 Datfile. There is no need to upgrade if your version of RomCenter is less than 1.90
  • MAME/MESS -listinfo to RomCenter converter. RomCenter does MAME automatically, but MESS has a slightly different format.
  • Also coverts ClrMame datfiles for use in RomCenter
  • Line-based editing for removing lines containing certain text, good for removing bad dumps from the GoodXXXX "missing.txt" list.
  • Drag-and-drop, for her pleasure.
     

List2RC - converts something in ClrMAME format to RomCenter format. I wrote this to convert the output of: 

     MESS -listinfo > sys.txt
into a RomCenter .dat file. the difference in MESS is that it uses "machine" instead of "game" to head the records. List2RC will accept either "game" or "machine". It will also accept fields delimited by spaces (short file-name games like MAME and MESS output) and by quotes (descriptive renaming like the dat-files on ClrMAME and iVilDed sites).
 

TextEdit - removes certain lines from files. The default string "¬O¬N¬" in the text box will remove NeoGeo games from the MAME.dat of RomCenter, that's what I use it for. Since the 1.90 version of RomCenter, you will also have to enter "¬O¬O¬" and re-run it on the new file. This removes any "neogeo merged" romsets. Yes it's slow, but faster than editing by hand (trust me on this - don't try it at home!) You can set it to "(bad dump)" to remove bad dump games from GOOD series renamers, or anything else like that like removing PAL or NTSC games, or CCE (atari), or remove those in a certain directory of a 

    dir > mydir.txt
DOS command. Putting something in the second text box will not remove it if the line contains that text. For example, you can edit Jan AxHell's SNES dat-file for RomCenter by using "[b" in the first text box, and "(bs-" in the second text box. this removes all of the bad-flagged games "[b1", "[b2" etc. However, the Bandai-Satellaview (or whatever BS stands for) games (almost) all have bad Checksum info, so you want to leave them in, so any game with "bs-x" will be left in.
 

General features: Drag and drop a source file on the program. Sometimes this does not work because Visual Basic sucks my butt. Just keep dropping. (VB does not track the dragover event automatically, so if you get frustrated, drag it and hold it over the app's bar in the TaskBar until the app comes to the front, then release the file onto the app).

Warning: do not use the same file for input and output. It takes a line at a time, and do will destroy your file if you do this.
