Using 5.0.1
1. Loading the thumbnails into memory turns the instantaneous launch of Rominator into a 5 second wait. Possibly add an option to turn this off?
2. If any of the flashcarts on the list aren't connected when Rominator is launched, you get a "No disk in drive" error, rendering it unusable until the device is connected.
1. Let me guess: You have over 1000 games in your library, correct? Of course it'll be a 5 second wait, but at least it beats the crap out of having it lag to death when scrolling, resizing, etc.
2. This is Windows that wants the disk in the drive, and so far I haven't found anything to do about it. If you unplug your flash reader then it'll stop asking you because the location won't exist. All Rominator is doing is checking to see if the drive exists, and Windows is a bitch because it keeps asking you to insert your card. I'm still trying to find a way around this...

Can anyone confirm the Linux version working under Ubuntu? If so how?
The Linux version is fairly unstable, and there's not really much I can do about it since all Linux builds are different. If it does not work for you, use the Windows version under WiNE.

loaded up newest version 5.0.1
however when checking for new version again - it keeps download same version
also what is the ._Rominator.exe program for - could not delete it at all when I downloaded version 4 had to start windows in command prompt mode and delete it thatway?
Whoops, forgot to change something! I'll do another bugfix release tonight and fix that issue. My bad.
The ._Rominator.exe is just a temporary file created my Mac OS X... I hate it when it does that, and Stuffit is crap for compressing the folder and keeping the ._ files. I forgot to get rid of them this time
QUOTEAll this time and still no .zip support? The project looks to have come along in leaps and bounds but for the userbase to go anywhere the project MUST have .zip support. There just isn't a way around it, without .zip support the entire application is useless to most of us
Shall I knock on your head a little bit more? If you want Zip support, you can pay for the plugin. It's already been mentioned 100 times! The Cross Platform Zip extension for use in Rominator will run me back $99 - So stop complaining!

well i see no point in these type of programs, windows explorer does a far much simpler job imo, as for this program, i decided to give it a try and i don't like a few things about it.
first of all i have no time to be adding 50 or so games to this program just because it doesn't support sub folders, forget that, when i add a game to the list it has no boxart even for very old games like american skater land no info on your "database"
the picture you show here on the front of gba temp shows all the icon, boxart and so on, when i drag and drop a rom into this program, none of that shows up just a blank DS file and that's it (yes i have click the option to show game icons, makes no difference), your renaming feature is useless to me, i don't like having the release groups name in it, i just like to have the name of the game and the region of where the game originated from, that's it, nothing extra, whys is there no option for this?
your program keeps asking for me to locate a file for my flashcart, the problem is the R4DS doesn't have a client or any software to put the roms onto the flash cart, it's all drag and drop, i have no idea why this feature is here, unless it's for slot 2 flash carts or something?
overall i don't really like this software, it's awkward and i don't see it begin practical at all, but i will give it a chance this day only, if i see a improvement i may keep it, also the file size for this program is too big, 11MB for what?
oh and i don't see how you can drag and drop your roms into the R4DS when i drag from the list on the program into a location on my hard drive i can't, so what really is the purpose of this program if i can't do anything with it?
