    Hacking Rominator Database Update info

    If we're putting stuff to light: Rominator 2010 was/is supposed to be a framework model similar to OfflineList (at least on the drawing boards). People would be allowed to write plugins (say, an NDS rom checker, a Wii ISO checker, a MegaDrive rom checker, or even a c64 midi sound file checker...

    Hacking Rominator Database Update info

    First things first: When you say "recreated" do you mean you had a gamelist (say named "Yuuko") that had the errors and you deleted and re-added the same game list? Or when you started having problems you created a new gamelist (say named "Yugimoto") and it's having problems? All the game...

    Hacking Rominator Database Update info

    Sorry this update is a little slow. For some reason, I was trying to understand the difference between the "patched" dumping tools and the "unpatched" ones and managed to get a little side-tracked. Well, alot side-tracked really. I wound up getting the answer, but I managed to get a nice...

    Thanks for answering that one. I'm not a Windows 7 guru so I would've been lost. I'm still on Windows XP, but I dual-boot into the newest distro of Ubuntu Linux. That's as far as my knowledge goes.

    Hacking Rominator v2008

    New database is up link here. It's now current through 4726 and has some updates/fixes thanks to the keen eyes of various Rominator users. 4713 from the previous database was wrong as the database was released before the info sites had been updated, so 4713 was really 4714. I double-checked...

    Hacking Rominator Database Update info

    Okie dokie, new file uploaded here. Rom 4722 (Ragnarok) is one of those games with the "Weird Header" like 4673 (Poupee Girl). It doesn't seem to do anything to Rominator (it identifies fine, it crc32 checks fine) so I'm not going to worry about making the list of games with that particular...

    Hacking Rominator Database Update info

    I'd asked him about that way back in the beginning but he wasn't keen on the idea. I've just sent him a friendly poke via email to see where he's at on his projects: I actually haven't tried getting a hold of him since December so any news I have is about 2 months old right now.

    Hacking Rominator Database Update info

    I understand your pain, believe it or not: Not all the roms I use for the database come from the same site, nor in the same file format (some are zip, some are rar or rar-in-rar) so I have to go through on my side and fix everything so I can double-check the database before uploading.

    Hacking Rominator Database Update info

    I can't really say much about the Unhandled Exception errors (I'm the database admin and not a programmer): I do get them also on Windows (when running crc32 checks). Normally it seems to happen when I'm trying to check a large file in an old game list after the updated database is loaded in...

    Hacking Rominator Database Update info

    Thanks for the votes of confidence: they're really appreciated. I didn't mean to have this update wait so long (I'd really had an update ready at 4700 but I forgot to upload it ). I'd like to say I'm back on track now, but I might jinx myself.

    Hacking Rominator Database Update info

    For those of you who may have noticed, rom 4713 (Playmobil Knights) is actually wrong. It was a last-minute add to the database and where I got it from had it as 4713 but really it's 4714. It'll be fixed for the next release.

    Hacking Rominator Database Update info

    For 0001-4179 (I think that's where I took over: It's late here. ), you can highlight all the games and press CTRL+I (or go to Tools->Get Info) to retrieve the online information. From there, the next step would be install this update to update the roms arts before 4179 and to go up to 4637.

    Sorry it's been a bit again, but here's the newest file Database 4713 with boxarts. As always, if there are any problems/suggestions/comments please let me know.

    Hacking Rominator Database Update info

    Yes, all box arts go into the same folder. Not sure why you're having a problem, though. I do try to make it so that when you unzip the database file the box arts go into their proper folder automatically for simplicity's sake.

    Hacking Rominator Database Update info

    When I tried getting the information from NDSHeader, it causes the program to crash so Rominator is probably having the same problem with the rom. For crc32, I had to get the information from having the file .zipped so that Rominator didn't try to read the headers.

    Hacking Rominator Database Update info

    When you unzipped the update, did you let it extract the box arts to their sub-directory or did you extract everything to one directory?

    Hacking Rominator Database Update info

    Have you tried using "Verify CRC32" (uncompressed roms) or "Identify" (for zip files)? The only other thought I have is that I think it's noted on the Rominator site that you might need to make a new game list (or delete the new games from the list and re-add them).

    Hacking Rominator Database Update info

    Don't worry, I wouldn't walk away without a replacement in place. Really all I want is a week or two off to clear my head. I think I'm still reeling from my Internet being down and trying to catch the database up those 33 games uberfast (can you say burn-out? ). It's not as bad as when I...

    DiGiorno Crispy Pan Pizza tasted pretty dang close to Pizza hut pan pizza, but Im not sure if theyve been discontinued or not. Havent seen them locally for a couple of months now.

    The croissant crust is still available though, but not quite as good imo.
