dub Posted February 18, 2017 Posted February 18, 2017 Hi everyone new to the forums been a big box license holder for 2-3 yr now, was wondering if there are any programs or ways i can check if i have all the roms for a particular system? Quote
Charco Posted February 18, 2017 Posted February 18, 2017 I think that this may be added to the audit feature within LaunchBox, so it may be in the pipeline. 1 Quote
SentaiBrad Posted February 18, 2017 Posted February 18, 2017 Not checking for all games specifically I don't think, at least I'm not sure if that was originally intended. There is a lot we could do with Audits though, and this would be pretty cool and something I am sure Jason would want to do. However, since we're rom set agnostic, what do we check a full list against? How do we make sure the check is accurate? Those are legit questions, not trying to say this wont or couldn't happen.

Charco Posted February 19, 2017 Posted February 19, 2017 I'd imagine it would check against the No Intro sets, similar to RetroArch. Quote
dub Posted February 19, 2017 Author Posted February 19, 2017 yeah the no intro set seems to be a good reference Quote
fromlostdays Posted February 19, 2017 Posted February 19, 2017 Could also check against dats from Dat-o-matic. This functionality already exists in Clrmamepro. You put in a dat file and do a scan. I'm pretty sure it checks for CRCs as well. Works for any system that has a dat file. But I guess somebody has to write the dats, and even no intro does updates to their lists. I remember once checking a pretty popular system against a dat and having left over roms. I guess what I'm saying is for a lot of systems it isn't an easy task to create a "perfect" set. It probably requires a lot of research. In summation, yeah use no intro when possible and try not to worry too much about perfection. Just my advice. Quote
