What do you mean by rim? -
I don't know the 1st thing about rclone sadly. CMP does have a WWW mode but I couldn't come right with how to use it. With web downloads, it's backed up so if I lose the files on my PC, I can redownload them from the LB forums. All roms need to be zipped before you scan them with the DATs and CMP but whether or not you need the BIOS files and need to unzip the roms depends on the emulator you're using. RetroArch can run ZIPs natively without unzipping while CD-based emulators like duckstation, dolphin, pcsx2, ppsspp etc cant run zips natively so you'll need to unzip those manually.
-
Even though they are 2 separate platforms, Retroachievements combines both platforms into 1 platform on the site so my DAT is only 1 DAT with all the compatible/linked games in it.
-
Because Retroachievements doesn't support Atari 5200 yet.
-
You're welcome. Yeah, one of the RA Team members has told me that he wants to make a dat-o-matic of sorts to host RA DATs in the future but we'll see what happens.
-
No CMP is actually quite minimal and simplistic. All your roms need to be zipped before scanning as CMP only scans for zips and ISO is the standard in the official Redump DATs so they'll be the standard in my DATs as well aside from the GameCube RVZ DAT. I tried making CHD DATs in the past but users were getting different hash values even though they converted the ISOs the exact same way I do so I stopped it. As for languages, there is a "English" region for english translated games but other than that, everything else is region based so the language will be whatever the region is, just like the official nointro dats. As for versions, I usually give the latest versions region entries while older versions won't have region entries so they'll be deleted unless you use "Normal Set Mode" which will keep all versions.
-
TBH you don't need a config from me or anyone else for clrmamepro. You just copy and paste the DATs into the "datfiles" folder in the clrmamepro folder, in clrmamepro select the platform and in settings add the platform rom directory, change the mode to 1g1r mode, select and prioritise the regions you want and select scan. It will keep the regions you want/prioritized and move the rest to a backup folder.

@steve1977Thanks. Yes the dats are currently v2.0 where every linked game rom on the site is added to the dats instead of just 1 rom per game. Use these dats with clrmamepro if you want to use 1g1r to keep 1 rom of a specific region per game and delete the rest. Sadly I currently don't have an effective way of finding out when a rom or game is removed from the site so i can remove it from the dats but i'm open to some ideas if anybody has.
-
That worked. Thanks.

Beta 4 is, for some reason, crashing halfway through the update and even during a clean installation while beta 3 installs fine.
-
@UplinkI did do it in the past but users were reporting different hash values than what was in the DATs, even though they converted the same roms i had and used the same program to convert them to chd that I used. I think different versions of chdman create different hash values so I stopped making chd DATs as a result. It would explain why there's no official/unofficial chd DATs anywhere as well.

Try these: Far East of Eden - Tengai Makyou - Ziria (Japan) (Rev 7).cueFar East of Eden - Tengai Makyou - Ziria (Japan) (Rev 7) (En) (LIPEMCO! Translations) (v1.2).cue and here's the updated DAT: RA - NEC TurboGrafx-CD.dat

The cheevo set is still demoted for repairs. I'll add it back once the set is back up.

Sup BioHazzard. Yeah it's been hectic at work. Been trying to update the last few games but haven't had much free time. Next update should be this weekend sometime.

Yeah I see they use the no-intro custom RVZ set instead of the redump set. I can build a DAT from that set but its not as popular/easy to find as official redump sets.
-
@BioHazZzard @Odio and everyone else who wants an RVZ DAT, if I were to make a RVZ DAT, which option would you suggest I build the DAT from? Convert Redump-approved GC ISOs to the default RVZ settings in Dolphin (Block Size - 128KB, Compression Type - ZStandard, Compression Level - 5) and put those RVZ file hashes into the DAT OR Build it from the custom DAT on the No-Intro website as the base.
-
Oh wow. Thanks @Clutz450. Even I didn't know about that. In that case, If LB ever adds RVZ support to cheevo detection, I'll definitely make a RVZ DAT then.

@Odio Sadly, the DAT will only support ISO for 3 reasons: Launchbox doesn't detect cheevos for RVZ format, only ISO. The official Redump DAT uses ISO, not RVZ. RVZ has the same issue as CHD with DATs. The file hash values are different, depending on the conversion settings used in Dolphin (Block size and compression level), so you would need RVZ files created with the same settings as what's in the DAT to prevent false results which can become a drag. Therefore, I won't be doing a RVZ DAT and I recommend using the DAT to scan Redump ISOs and once you confirm that they are all correct, use Dolphin to convert them manually.

BB 13.14 starts and works perfectly fine.

Hey guys. BigBox isn't starting in the latest beta. I double click it, it opens in task manager for a second or 2 and then closes. I tried reinstalling in a new directory and same problem. I'm running windows defender and even with all settings disabled, the same problem happens. I'll try reinstalling previous version and see if it works.
-
Thanks Odio. It's been corrected. For alternate file types; unless the official no-intro and/or redump DATs change or add new file types themselves, sadly I won't be doing that. The problem with CHDs is the file hash values are different based on the version of chdman that's used to do the conversion AFAIK so unless chdman stops getting updated/changed, the CHDs will continue to have different hash values than what's in my DATs which will continue to be a pain in the ass for everyone.

Thanks. This has been corrected. So basically the versions of this rom that are available on the RA website are outdated and not a part of the latest official No-Intro NES DAT anymore. The 2 versions that are in my DAT are in the official NES DAT and are also compatible with cheevos.
