Master the art of creating non-merged ROM sets with ClrMame Pro for Dummies
Вставка
- Опубліковано 21 сер 2024
- In today’s video we take a Merged set of Mame and we rebuild it into a Non-Merged set. This is important if you are looking to organize your roms, and take out the ones you don’t want or need.
For example, Lets take Pac-Man. There are 100’s of versions of Pac-man, and if you have a handful that you like. Maybe the world version, maybe you also want Puc-man, but you don’t need 20 other clones. You use the Non-Merged Rom Set as this is a One game per One rom ratio.
This is great if you want to edit your list for RetroPie, Batocera, Launch box, or even AttactMode.
How to Convert Merged MAME ROMs into Non-Merged Sets using Clrmame Pro
1g1r set = 1 Game to 1 Rom Set
CLRMAMEPRO is a popular software utility primarily used by retro gaming enthusiasts and collectors. It's designed to manage and organize ROM (Read-Only Memory) files for various gaming platforms, ensuring that the files are accurate, complete, and properly organized. The program is commonly used in the emulation community, where users play classic video games on modern computers or other devices through software emulators.
Here are some key features and functions of CLRMAMEPRO:
1. *ROM Management:* CLRMAMEPRO helps users maintain their ROM collections. It verifies the integrity of ROM files, ensuring they are not corrupt or incomplete. The program can also rebuild or repair ROM sets, making sure that all necessary files are present and in the correct format.
2. *DAT File Support:* CLRMAMEPRO uses DAT files, which contain information about the structure and contents of specific ROM sets. These DAT files act as databases, detailing the correct files and their checksums for each game. Users can download DAT files from various sources to ensure their ROMs match the verified sets.
3. *Rebuilding and Updating:* If new versions of ROMs are released, or if users acquire additional files, CLRMAMEPRO can rebuild existing sets to include these changes. It also helps users update their collections efficiently.
4. Customization: The software allows users to customize settings and preferences according to their needs. Users can specify which files to include or exclude during the scanning and rebuilding processes.
5. User Interface: CLRMAMEPRO features a user-friendly interface that provides detailed information about scanned ROM sets. It shows missing or incorrect files, making it easier for users to identify and fix issues in their collections.
6. Audit Function: The program includes an audit function that checks whether the ROMs in a collection match the information in the corresponding DAT file. This helps users identify discrepancies and fix them to ensure the integrity of their ROM sets.
7. Command Line Support: Advanced users can utilize command line options to automate tasks or integrate CLRMAMEPRO into batch processes.
It's important to note that while CLRMAMEPRO is a powerful tool for managing ROM collections, it is essential to respect copyright laws and only use ROMs for games that you own or have the right to use.

Thanks for this! I always wanted to know how to use this, this helped immensely!

@Technically Not a Technician Parkersburg area here. Been using MAME since the mid 90s, but could never figure out CLRMamePro..
@@rabapab23 Glad you got something from the video, and Thank you for checking out the channel. It means a lot. Miss WV, Parkersburg is a great area.
Excellent tutorial! Won a subscriber and a very grateful "like". Thank you very much for your time and effort.
Very Welcome, and I'm glad this helped you. Thank You for hitting that Subscribe, the like, and this Comment. That means a ton to me.
Keep it on bro you are great
😊 Thanks
Wow. It's as if the creator of CtrlMamepro never seen a well-designed UI in his life !
Do you have a better Program in mind?
@@TechicallyTNTDeluxe Paint IV, DOOM 2, Frontier Elite II.
@@lincruste So.... None of those are Mame Rom Management tools. That said, Thanks for the comment... . Maybe...
@@TechicallyTNT your question is answered, though
@@lincruste Okay Then....
Ive been hearing a lot about romvault and thats its better than clrmame?
I think both are good, I really think it's just what your prefer. I think Both are really Good.
Thx
Very Welcome, and Thank You for Checking out the Channel Means the world to me.
hi, there is a way to automatically delete clone roms and relatives that are not needed, thank you
Yes Sir, I use this method, you can use it to limit your roms by controls, or any other Filtered option. Hope it helps, and thanks for checking out the Channel.
@@TechicallyTNT Hi, maybe I explained myself badly, I wanted to ask if in CMPRO there is an option that once a game has been merged, it can delete the clones and parents once the operation has been done. thank you
@@lucaboscolopalo7613 No it is not made to do that. It merges, un-merges, or Splits romsets. Nothing more. If you want to remove roms from an Arcade or Mame set, you un-merge them first, then remove roms manually, or with some form of automation.
Nice guide but unfortunately it didn't work for me (version of 0.162 of DAT). I still get messages when launching games like "The selected game is missing one or more required ROM". After manual checking eg rom "gaplus" is missing at least some files. The game does not start. Interestingly, in the MAME 0.162.dat file for the "gaplus" rom, the list of required files is complete. However, Clrmamepro does not download these files. In addition, it downloads a lot of clones that I don't need.
Yeah, this is Not may Fav, and the programmer hasn't updated it in Years. I also found this. It may work better for you, BUT it is kind of a HACK. Hope it helps, and remember these automated systems will NEVER be Perfect. ua-cam.com/video/KvEklx52CsI/v-deo.html&feature=share8
Forgot to Add, Thanks for checking out the Channel.
@@TechicallyTNT That's why I often use a different solution. Games that do not start I download from a complete ready-made set, e.g. from archive. If one still does not work, I do an audit in the MAME gui version. I manually add the missing file in the audit. Unfortunately, this requires checking all games, although I have "only" almost 200 of them.
Sir can you help me?
I want play game Meltyb in emulator android and size 7mb meltyb

And i try in flycast cant too
I already have all bios why cant play?
I dont have pc pls help
First Thank you for checking out the channel. That means a ton to me. Second, I hate to say it, but I've never used that version of Mame. I am Only GUESSING, but verify that the rom you're using is the right version you need for that Emulator (from what I've googled you should use set 0.37b5). I also found this regarding your rom :adb.arcadeitalia.net/dettaglio_mame.php?game_name=meltyba&back_games=meltyb;&search_id=
"clore Mame" lol
What you never clore Mame?
@@TechicallyTNT all the time :)
