RoFage 1.3.1

[Schyzophrenic]

RoFage is a rom manager supporting Offline List Dats.

Developped in Java, it works on Linux, Mac & Windows. Available in both english & french it gives you the ability to easily manage your roms :
- import roms by drag & drop of your files or directory
- scan your roms based on the CRC (or the serial if it's a trimmed NDS rom)
- rename your archive (and inside your archive) based on the pattern you gave
- clean your archives
- export your archives
- manage duplicate : you can choose to always keep the prefered version of a rom. For instance, you may choose to have USA, EU, JP as your prefered order. The game will only keep the USA version of the rom if you have it. Or the EU version if you don't have the USA version...

The list may be updated automatically, as the roms' images.

You need Java 1.6 or later to use RoFage

This software is open source, so if you feel like you can contribute in any manner (coders or translators)...

"scan your roms based on the CRC (or the serial if it's a trimmed NDS rom)"
Very nice. I do not have java worth anything on this machine right now.

I will leave it on your site for now so as to help your stats and up it to the front page.

Edit: got bored and grabbed java, will post some screens as soon as.

Edit: Screens up shortly but some links for people from the post if they did not come via it

Java download (check any repositories if you run linux and the like for distro specific builds)

ADVANsCEne, GBA and DS offline list dats available

Offline list homepage (dats for several systems)

no-intro offline list (multiple systems)

It looks quite good! PM me if you'd like a Dutch translation

I can translate it if it's some kind of easy editable file.

 

[Schyzophrenic]

Thanks maikelsteneker !

I'd really appreciate a Dutch translation, I'll pm you with the details

And by the way, if you feel like something is missing (or something's wrong) please let me know.

this is a great use of Java, as someone who has taken college Java classes this is impressive.

 

[redman3000]

GREAT!!! Thanks! An alternative to the old OfflineList!

Are you gonna try to have the same options? Like update the dats on startup? compress duplicates to one 7z file (like GoodMerge) to save space without the need to delete duplicates? OfflineList Beta 2 have so many bugs with 7z that I don't use it. The author didn't update the program for months if not years...

At least it's opensource so everyone with the skill can add something (I don't know Java so I can't help...)! Thanks for this great project!

Thanks ! I really appreciate, even if I still think many tweakings of the code could be performed to give better performance

Yeah the development of Offline List has stopped 2 years ago if I remember. As long as I were on windows I used it, hoping for the development to go back on tracks... But now, I switch to Linux and the old version of Offline list is not compatible. So I took my little hands and coded this

RoFage does not yet support 7zip, only zip files. This is something I'd like to add, but I need some more work to do it. It will come, one day

If someone wishes to help me on the 7zip support he/she is welcome !

I decided to give away the code even if I am still coding the app because it can help someone, someday

Concerning the options, I was a very simple user of Offline list, doing basic tasks. So I don't know all of them. If you wish to have an additional functionality you can ask me (with details on how it should work though

)

Just a point concerning the update. You can update at startup your dat files, just like offline list does. But there is an additional option : "Download while browsing". Since downloading everything at once can take some time, you can also download images while browsing your collection. It will download the images related to the game you just selected.

Concerning the duplicates I only added the functionality to keep only the most prefered version. It shouldn't been hard to add the compression of all those files into one zip (only zip today remember ?

), but I don't know... Is this something useful ?

Anyway, thanks for your feedbacks which keep me improving RoFage !

 

[IsSuE_]

Really nice app! Like it, as there is no good rom manager for linux. If you want a German Translation, i can do that!

 

[Bri]

Any way to make it only download the images that you have in your collection?

-Bri

 

[dirty_harry]

awesome awesome awesome.

Nice work here buddy.

One little thing, the advanscene images, on my laptops widescreen display, i get some clipping of the images. I can pop screenies if you want.

 

[Schyzophrenic]

To Bri : Well, there is no such option as "Download only images for the roms I have", but you can choose to download images while browsing and filter the list to the games you have, so it's about the same.

To dirty_harry : I am not sure to understand, could you do a screenshot for me please ?

I am glad to see a multiplatform ROM manager coming out. This morning I gave it a try and wasn't too lucky: at home, on Linux, I got the following error:

xenon@cosmos ~/Rofage $ java RoFage.jar

Here at work, on XP, I got a popup message with title "!Engine.1!" and body "!Engine.0!", with a menacing red cross. Clicking OK I get a "Configuration" panel with an "Add" button and an empty drop-down menu. I can only close the panel and reach the main window, which looks pretty emtpy and useless. What's wrong?

Xenon, you should use the command java -jar RoFage.jar
Concerning the !Engine.0! There is indeed a bug on OS which are not in French or English Languages. This will be fixed in the next version.
Nevertheless, it doesn't prevent you from using the app, since it will only happen once. Just click on "Add" and select the DAT you want.

 

[xenon]

Thanks for the ultra-fast reply! I'm not really handy with Java, as you can see.

Well, I'd say you don't have the good version of java

try to update your java version to the latest one and it should be fine. If not, let me know, I will help you to make it work (it has been tested on MAC OS X and reported as ok...)

 

[gabesword]

Thanks. I've been looking for a Linux rom manager. This will be great. Now I can't wait to get home and try it out.

I experienced the same problem, and it's quite easy to fix.

First run Software Update to make sure that you have the lastest version of Java (if nothing is mentioned of Java, you should already be set)
Then, go Applications -> Utilities -> Java -> Java Preferences.app.
In the "Java Application Runtime Settings" section, drag the "Java SE 6 (64-bit)" entry to the top of the list.
Press the Save button at the bottom of the window, close Java Preferences, and try again.

By the way, is it really supposed to look like this?

 

[gabesword]

It is very cool so far. I do have a couple of questions though.

What does an icon of a disk with a red question mark in it mean? How do I turn filtering on and off?

 

[Schyzophrenic]

To Flagcarrier : Thank you for giving a quick "how to" for MAC OS since I didn't know how to do it (People said it was ok but not how they did

)

Concerning the picture you sent, thank you again because I've seen no screen of the "MAC version" yet. It looks better than on my Linux

But let's get to the weird stuff you point. There is indeed an issue on screen with small resolution (and NDS DAT) because the screenshots are quite big.
Well I cannot say it *should* be like this because it's not good at all, but I guess we can say it's a bug of this version. It only happens if your window is too small. I will correct it in the next version.
I am sorry about that, since I run on a 19" monitor I didn't really take this into consideration

To gabesword : The icon with a question mark means that this rom does not have the good CRC and has been identified by its serial instead. Since I cannot guarantee this is a good dump which has been trimmed those roms have this icon. Roms with the good CRC have a green tick icon instead.

At last, concerning the filtering you can filter and search using the filter panel located in the bottom right corner. For instance you don't want to display demo, you just have to unselect "Demo" AND click on "Filter". You can also search for a title (or a part of it, i.e. "mario"). And, of course, you can combine all those filters together to get what you want.

For instance, you want to see all the mario games you have which are wifi capable and not demos : you have to unselect demo, populate the title field with "mario", check the wifi checkbox and select the checkboxes "owned, good name" and "owned, bad name" (and of course, unselect "not owned"). (I hope I am clear

)

Thanks to all for your feedbacks, if you want more functionalities in the application, just let me know, I'll see what I can do.

(I already know about the 7-zip reading / packing, but it may take a while since no public libraries can be currently plugged in RoFage

But I'll keep working on it

)
