Soxbrother Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 Hi, I have a 0.214 MAME merged set (Updated my 0.213 set to 0.214 with Clrmamepro, using a tutorial here on the forum) But now I'd like to know how to convert my merged set into a Non-merged set, because of the way the Android exporter works. I've read that the exporting of selectable games will only work with a non-merged set. So if that option comes available in the future, I need a non-merged set. Can someone tell me the correct steps to convert my merged set into a non-merged set with Clrmamepro ? (At least I think that program should do the trick.) To be clear I want a non-merged set NOT a split set. Thanks in advance. Soxbrother Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOS76 Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 I personally don't know how to do it but I've seen the option for it within CLRMAMEPro so have a look around you may figure out how to do it on your own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil9000 Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 I think you follow mostly the same steps, but there is a option for the set type. So you would run the scan then tell it you want the different set type. Thats about as much as i know though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depending on what you need, you might also want to deselect the seperate BIOS files option in ClrMamePro as well, so you have fully independent roms per game.

Soxbrother Posted October 3, 2019 Author Share Posted October 3, 2019 Thanks for the info. I'll try it. Fully independent sounds good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So for this, you wouldn't need the rebuilder, only the "scan" option ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No you would need the re-builder as thats what you want to do. You would have to run the scan as normal so it knows what you have, then use the rebuilder but specify a different set style.

The previous time I saw the scanner renaming or fixing some stuff, so I presumed that would be enough. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DOS76 Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 oh hell yeah it has to create thousands of archives and copy the same files to them I imagine it will be long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rwprime Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 Soxbrother, where is that tutorial you mention on how to update MAME here on the forum. I searched and couldn't find it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
