Introduction

What is RomManager ? It's a mIRC script that allows you to display the status of your Emulation-related collections in an IRC channel. The interesting part is that you can also ask for people's stats, to compare your totals, and know which of your database needs to be updated/filled (and who can help you in this task ;) ) With RomManager you'll have no more excuse for not having an up-to-date ROMs collection ! Quick installation/usage Guide : 1°) Install RomManager by typing "/load -rs rommanager.mrc" in mIRC 2°) Scan your ROMs (using tools like ClrMamePro or RomCenter, or Goodxxx) 3°) Save a "missing roms" text-file (logs) for each set (different cases depending on the tool used) 4°) Go in RomManager, then in Control/Setup part : "Set Root Path" where you stocked the logs previously created 5°) click "Generate Paths" ! redo steps 4-5 for each section (arcade, tosec...) Now you should be able to use RomManager and enjoy its powerful features... (to be continued...)

Frequently Asked Questions

Is RomManager another Rom-renamer / How can I scan my roms with RomManager ? Absolutely not ! You can't scan your roms with it ! The first thing you have to do is a scan of all your collections with appropriate programs like Cowering's GOODxxx tools, RomCenter, ClrMamePro, RomDoctor or TUGID, and properly generate logfiles (little txt with your missing roms count). Then just setup paths to your missing logs in RomManager, and now it allows you to easily view your current ROM totals for each set (or entire categories), and display other people's status when you're in an IRC channel. Can I use RomManager without mIRC ? RomManager is just a so called mIRC-script. It is not compiled for win32 or whatever, so you need mIRC v5.9 or better to run it. ? (To be continued... )
