FIXGEN V1.0 - CLRMAME Pro DAT Fix Generator
Programmed by Pugsy on 05 May 2002 (email : pugsy@gmx.net)
This program will take a CLRMAME Pro logfile and from it create a dat
file that a third person can use with CLRMAME Pro to generate a zip file
containing all the files (roms etc) that they have but you have not got.
This makes it easy to swap ROMs without manually finding, unzipping and
rezipping the ones the other person requires. Just send the produced .dat
file called 'nickname'.dat to them. Then when they feed it in to CLRMAME
Pro and they use the CLRMAME Pro Rebuilder function it will make a big
zip called 'nickname'fix.zip when fed with the appropriate ROM dirs. More
information about how to use the CLRMAME Pro Rebuilder can be found in
the CLRMAME docs - ensure the person rebuilding acquaints themselves with
them! I recommend you copy the Fixgen.exe to the CLRMAME Pro logs folder
and run it from there! For the person doing the rebuilding I suggest you
ensure that the 'Remove Rebuilt Sourcefiles' checkbox in the Rebuilder
dialogue is UNTICKED as you don't want to delete your own ROMs!
This program (and source) is completely free of charge and it is provided
without any warranty. USE IT AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!
For the moment this tool will remain as a commandline only. Just copy
the FIXGEN executable to the CLRMAME logs folder and run it from there!
Commandline : FixGen [Saved CLRMAME Logfile] [Your Nickname]
Example : Fixgen MAME060.log Pugsy
Note: I suggest if you are using this tool for several different emulated systems you choose
yuor nickname accordingly so that you don't accidently overwrite other files. Eg PugsyMAME,
PugsyRAINE or PugsyC64.
