Magic date for the new update

 

First of all, one more time. Thanks to people for suggestions and support, your ideas are considered and will be available on next Romulus versions and don´t worry this project won't be stopped and is coding day by day.

 

This time Romulus comes with more important improvements, see the full changes list to know the new of 0.012 version.

 

- ADDED Detection of bad dumps at end of Scan / Rebuild and Romulus asks to add it. Bad dump is detected when no CRC, MD5 and SHA-1 information found for a ROM.

- ADDED Detection of duplicated ROMs at end of Scan / Rebuild and Romulus asks to add it.

- ADDED Support for Zip64 format. This is support for big Zip files with more than 4Gb. Read and write it.

- ADDED UTF8 file format for DAT files supported and import it without errors.

- ADDED to XML parser full conversions of special chars based in numeric or hex codes.

- ADDED Importation displaying information about imported sets count and current process inside importation.

- ADDED Proper German translation made by SpaceAgeHero, the old one sucks.

- CHANGED Recoded all XML parser, fixing some possible errors and cleaning code.

- CHANGED Recoded Scanning process fixing some rare but possible errors.

- CHANGED Now a compressed file with no files inside is checked as a single ROM in Scan / Rebuild process. Sometimes a small file, compressors thinks is a compressed empty file.

- CHANGED at Scan, CRC 00000000 or FFFFFFFF is considered as a empty CRC information, included in baddumps creation process.

- CHANGED Compressed files with a password are skipped and not processed in Scan.

- CHANGED if checksum match in Scan but the filesize is different ROM is marked as valid but with a warning, in Rebuild file with wrong size will be marked as correct until a file with same checksum but correct filesize found.

- CHANGED One more time little optimization for Zip files scanning with hundred of files inside.

- CHANGED Adding path editbox to browserfolder dialogs.

- CHANGED Forze rebuild when multidisk compressed files are placed in romspath. Multidisk files are not accepted in romspath, must be single compressed file.

- CHANGED buttons sizes width to 90pix to fits fine the next future translations including the new German.

- CHANGED in Generator when getting information of compressed files if file is multidisk is checked as a single not compressed file.

- CHANGED Accepted Merged param at importation to force merging filemode for different filenames between master and clone set.

- CHANGED Initialization progress bar when start to Scan.

- IMPROVED Indexation at importing that increases a little bit the speed of scan.

- IMPROVED Speed of importation when profile has clones. TODO LIST DONE

- FIXED Importation in Clones relationship. If in Clone set a file exists in Master set automatic is merged.

- FIXED Importation before merging the checksum is checked and if not the same automatic the relation between master and clone is broken.

- FIXED Importation Bioses are removed from master and Clone sets and included in your own Bios set.

- FIXED Filesize reading for RAR files of more than 2Gb was wrong, now is correct. This affects to Generator, Scan and Rebuild make the process not works fine.

- FIXED importation filesizes larger than 4Gb now displays fine and not displays as 0 bytes. Reimport DAT to fix it.

- FIXED Getting big filesizes to compare to database obtaining a reading compressing file error.

- FIXED Broken relationship in Scan/Rebuild when Not merged filemode is set and profile has merge files or duplicates.

- FIXED Display list in Not Merged filemode when profile has merge files or duplicates.

- FIXED Roms counter in Not merged filemode when profile has merge files or duplicates.

- FIXED importation of CHD filenames in Clrmame pro dat files non in xml format.

- FIXED problems when Headers are active and CHDs exists in current profile.

- FIXED fixing file message that shows again and again included if user says yes to all when headers must be fixed. Thanks to SpaceAgeHero and Mr Ravic for bug report.

- FIXED Saving DATE field when new dat added and not updated for a old one. Thanks to Mr Ravic for bug report.

- FIXED folders detection at long path names at Scan.

- FIXED Bug in function removeconflictchars that is used to correct not valid filenames at importation. This bug is present in rare cases but can make errors on importation.

- FIXED Max log lines that displays wrong count.

- FIXED Change filemode in Properties using OK Button that causes the Main form can not be closed.

- FIXED minor general bugs.
