Hacking Rominator v2008

[hankchill]

I already uses 3 virus scanners AVG & Norton and PAnda

Buddy, there's been over 15,000 downloads of Rominator, if there was a virus in it, don't you think *everyone* would have been complaining months ago?

Before you go and make wild accusations, do your homework. There aren't viruses in Rominator. Get better anti virus, or clean up your already infected. system.

*sigh* n00bs.

Sorry OK

Im guessing that the interface shown in the screenshot is only for Mac?

Do you plan on making a similar interface for windows..

 

[704jaffer]

Love the new version, thanks for all your hard work. I made sure to donate, keep up the good work

 

[Brenex]

The interface is the exact same. Turn on the toolbar in the options or view menu or whatever (sorry not on the computer with rominator.)

Henry - I would be fully insulted i someone stated I was releasing a virus. As you rightly pointed out - if it had a virus in it thousands of complaints would have been made.

@Dirt4Live - One thing you should keep in mind is that having more than 1 AV software program can cause major conflicts with each other and result in the AV software not performing the way it should. More than one AV software can make for a very unstable computer enviorment.

Either get rid of 2 of them or better yet get rid of all of them (if you did nto pay for them) and get AVG for Free.

Click on the following link ftp://ftp.drweb.com/pub/drweb/cureit/launch.exe to download an easy use app to run an express scan (which auto starts when you load the app and click OK) on your computer to check for any current threats you may have. (Takes anywhere up to 10 minutes to complete) If nothing gets picked up then it is highly likely you do not have a virus and getting a false positive somehow with your other software. Alternatively after the simple scan is completed run a complete scan - which may take a few hours - but will do a thorough scan of all files on your computer.

If Rominator is detected as infected it WILL be due to a current virus on your machine which infected the rominator.exe file or the like.

I use the latest in Trend AV software and have no issues with Rominator and I have WinXP with SP2.

I cant do anything with the files when they are compressed in rzip or zip

I should have reported this bug earlier really, it's been around for ages (at least it has been for me).
When going through my list of ROMs on my flashcart or on my computer the 2nd game down in the list can never be right-clicked (or at least, no drop-down menu appears). And after I just updated to 2008.9, the 3rd and 4th games down on my flashcart aren't right-clickable either. Weird right?
Sorry if it's been reported before as well, I haven't got the time to browse 12 pages for it :\.

And just a small request. Any chance we could have two separate lists for homebrew/miscellaneous ROMs and commercial ROMs for our flashcarts? That would make it look a lot neater, and a lot easier to manage!

Thanks if you have the time.

Sorry to be a pain, but my post was totally ignored earlier.

Metacritic integration is excellent thankyou.

I have mentioned many times I don't take bug reports in the forums. You have a bug to report, use the feedback system in Rominator so it can get logged.

Care to complete your broken sentence?

Your statement doesn't help me.

Okay, but couldn't you have put that in the first post/topic title? Unless I was willing to read the 13 pages in this topic (which I didn't) I wouldn't know. I hardly feel I can be to blame when it doesn't say it clearly anywhere I would have seen it.
And I'll just go put it in the feedback box now then.

Hi,

How often does the databse get updated in Rominator?
I ask as I had to do re-install of Vista and it is still at update 2457. Alot of stuff after Fizz has been reported at gbatemp.

One other thing, where is this local databse held - is it the .dsstore file - I ask beacuse I copied the rominator for windows directory into program files (with UAC on). I'm wondering if Rominator has a problem working in this location.

Thanks

Great app!

The database is updated every Saturday; right now, my database lists up through 2477.

The .ds_store file is an OS X file used to store a folder's window settings (view style, window position/size, etc), and is safe to delete. I believe the database is stored in the ds.rod file, and your game catalog in GameList.rod; beyond that, I'm not familiar enough with Vista to know if UAC is causing the problem.

Every Saturday -- Friday if I'm nice

Last week it may have been at 2457, but this week another update was released already. (Should be 2477 now)
The Database in Vista is located at ~Username\AppData\Roaming\Rominator Data. I don't see why it would be a problem having it in Program Files, although it's not really necessary.

Yes you can rename. Extracting happens automatically when flashing, or you can press the 'Decompress' button. And of course you can't trim compressed games. You never could, and never will.

No matter what I do, if I launch Rominator (2008.10 for Windows) I get the following errormessage:

Any advice?

Try again, some people said they got the same error. Looks like it threw an error on updating which I will look in to. Should be fine now.

 

[LEECH666]

So this was a serverside issue ... works fine now.

Thanks for the help and the quick reply.

I'm getting a message that says "Updating DS Database..." near the top of the window, and it doesn't ever go away. If I click on my ROM list, the list appears empty and at the bottom of the window it says "Error loading game list". If I try to drop a ROM onto it, I get an import error.

ETA: This was apparently caused by a Rominator process that didn't exit properly. I occasionally get Rominator processes staying around after exiting the program. Killing the extra process solved the problem listed above.

The save manager when you double click a game in a game list is not resizable. That means that sometimes when the rom name is very long the complete filename and appended date can't be seen at all times.

This window should be resizable because i have two flashcarts. They have two separate save types. I need to be able to see which one is which on the long filenames.
