20041002 [RomManager 4.42 build 61]
Added support for games with colons in their description to the fix.dat creator. added rmCleanSystemName for rm.disp to use when displaying single system stats; it tries to be smart about adding ROMs to system names (art, layouts, mpegs, & any other non-tosec system name that ends with s will not have it appended). i finally took a closer look at deleting temp fix.dat & complete stats.txt files in the rm.sendfile function. it now really works. you should delete any left over fix.dat & complete stats.txt files from your mirc and rm folders. the files inside the '_Files Sent by RomManager' folder are safe to delete, but will not be done automatically. and lastly but not leastly, i give you (b1u3j waits for the drum roll), system stats inside the rm dialog!!! (please, please. quiet everyone :) when you open the rm dialog you will see a statistics check box at the lower right. because of the time required to generate the stats, it will uncheck itself when you close the dialog.

20040817 [RomManager 4.42]

* We decided to switch to DATs maintained by EgoElf for the Arcade, MESS, PinMAME ROMs, & Fruit Rollback systems. And we are using Yoshizuki's Pinball Table DATs and LaserDisc mpeg DAT. Some other new DATs/authors have been included as well.

* Updated TOSEC to use the 436 dats available at the moment. TOSEC.org has an all new DAT generator to replace the previous buggy one, but even that might be replaced soon by the new TIM tool they are working on. Until something changes, we will try to keep copies of the TOSEC DATs available at rommanager.com. While the TOSEC DAT names are stable, the data inside them is not and still has bugs. If you decide to switch to the new structure, please keep a backup of the 20040327 release (the last no bug version). And don't delete any 'left over' ROMs you will have after scanning the current TOSEC DATs, you will need them later!!

20040327 [RomManager 4.24]

I know we've been quite late to release this one. Several reasons for this but don't worry we're still here...
Here are the last changes :

+++ Notes ;;;

* TOSEC category in a temporary state (only one big update in 6 months, and the new online DatGen still doesn't fit all the needs). Meanwhile, we tried to keep anything present before (if unique) to avoid any file loss in the process. Some of the databases released on the site or in Tugid TDB were either dupes or incorrectly named, so we made the needed corrections.
* Removed Vivanonno set, as most of the roms are in Mame and the current dumps are uncertified.
* JPeMu dats renamed, because the encoded sets aren't needed anymore.


This TOSEC "revolution" has forcing us to make one choice: to provide "snapshots" of their online database from time to time as one solid pack, since imho the way they're offering databases is not satisfying for collectors.
At this date, I'm pretty sure you cannot get all the sets by creating them manually (about four hundred times). So it was quite vital we provide the last "good state" available (and corrected some errors they made on-the-fly, details below).

You will find in download page the 398 last 'old mood' Tosec dats as one pack (now only CM and RC formats). It is corresponding to the 2004-03-16 release (or Tugid .TDB), plus these modifications:
 - removed 3 duplicated databases : Commodore C128 - D64, Commodore C128 - PRG, Commodore VIC 20 (older dbs splitted into other ones)
 - added 1 forgotten database ;) : Atari ST - Coverdisks
 - added 33 lost en-route Tosec Music dats (will they still be maintained ?)
 - corrected 8 mispelled/wrong case dat names and/or headers (VIC 10 & 20..., IBM PC Compatible - Diskimages...)

A big thank to the ones who proposed to help after the message yesterday (about MySQL dbase). We finally found something that should work as we need. (You'll have some news later).


That was a while since the last update, so we made a few cleaning in the databases / categories organization. We hope that will satisfy more people like this:

+++ Notes ;;;

* Replaced the Unemulated Arcade category by a single dat, since the separation by year was arbitrary and induced unbalanced sizes between the sets.
* Creation of a dedicated Fruit Machines category. 3 reasons :
   - The number of dats involved (Troutman is still at work !)
   - Not everyone are willing to collect them, so they just have to look elsewhere.
   - We just gained a blank space for the new icon ;)
* The 'MAME Artwork' database, is not part of the MAME Art category (not as the name tells) because it's really a part of the emu/simulation, just like the samples. In the Art category, you'll find only various collections of pictures, mainly intended for MAME frontends.
* Several dats titles corrected or modified to maintain homogeneity.

(Considering these changes, please be aware of the modified dats locations when regenerating the paths after loading RM script)

20040131 RomManager team developed a new PHP publishing system which will allow to update the site news in a few mins (saving A LOT of time and allowing news posters to make easier and more frequent updates).

We're actually searching for a MySQL (or PostgreSQL) external database which allows SQL connections from RomManager site (this means that the database shouldn't accept only connections from a site hosted on the same DB host).

Database schema is really small (5 tables) and required space is more or less 5 megabytes. The only binding requirement is that database has to be online 24/7/365 (so no ADSL/dialup connections pls ;o))

If you can provide required MySQL/PostgreSQL database contact us on NewNet IRC network (channel #rommanager), please.

RomManager site development/update will be probably frozen until we manage to find the required database host.

+++ Code changes ;;;

* Fixed a bug into LiveUpdate functions introduced with 4.20 release
* Changed the rm.ttl alias to include totals

Sairuk has fixed some little bugs in RmHtmlGenerator. Now it's updated to 0.20b: you can find it in "Download" section.

Just remember that you can reach us typing www.rommanager.com , rommanager.emuxhaven.net , rmd.no-ip.com and rommanager.free.fr (useful if/when some domains are down) 

We provide original Mame32QA dats, so keep in mind that they overwrite the old ones in ClrmamePro if you extract them in the same directory, not allowing you to "update" them.

And last but not least thanks to everyone who has helped us in our release:
Unrealm, b1u3j, Sairuk, Bananolu, Drakain, Bogy, John IV, Petr1fied, yoshizuki, Mila76 and Smitdogg for their work!!

««« New Features »»»

* Updated the Unemulated Arcade section: old sets have been removed (according to latest MAME releases changes,  
   MAME TD sets have been merged into MAME dat): now all unemulated games are organized by production year and no

   collections management; if you display Custom stats from the RM dialog it will only display for that section (Custom1,
   Custom2, Custom3); if you use the right-click menu choices in a channel, merged custom stats will be shown or
   requested (just like previous versions).
* Updated RomManager script and check ini file live update functions: now it's possible to detect check ini file updates even when
   the script has not been updated (just for database changes)

Thanks to unrealm, metroid, acdctabs, chrisbee.

For those who wonder why I provide a MAME dat for v0.69 but Testdrivers dat for 0.69B, I'll just answer: 1) that's much more convenient to follow the new release policy this way, and 2) because there is no official binaries for the interim version ('a','b'..) but only source-diff.
So I will include any new games for these interim versions in the TestDrivers dat (not so far of what they are actually).

The subdirs in Handheld Simulators database aren't really working with ClrMame Pro, and just a little better with RomCenter but with some other problems. (maybe I could be able to provide a tool soon, or Roman Sherzer will finally implement the quick thing I have in mind directly in CMpro, I don't know... *hopes*)

About the Sega dat: I included everything I found, without removing anything, so I know there are many bad dumps in this database. We have to wait for a good emulation (come on, Semi ;) to really sort which are the good from the crap.
Also, don't bother any dumper to get some roms you're missing, that would only get things harder to find in the future.

20030119   Of course I forgot to give credits to Ben Jos Walbeehm from the Logiqx Team for the original (Full) MAME Testdrivers dat.
With last MAME versions, I did work with Bluehawk to get such a dat, but since it was already done I took this one as a base for the usual modifications (mainly to avoid dupes with other RM collections).
  Obviously, I don't want to take off any credit from anybody when I edit some data or headers and add my name to another one's work. If anyone seriously thinks I ripped or steal anything anywhere anytime, I beg you to contact me, then we'll have a chance to deal fairly on future jobs.

  More generally, I want to thank here all people who have by their work contributed to the emu-scene and make things publicly available for the sake of Retrogaming. Many people are involved, and here on this site we will always try to offer you the best of what we find useful from them.

  By the way, I hope everyone here is visiting each of the websites in the links section quite often, 'cause they're inevitable. Please tell me if you think one is missing there.

also corrected very little errors in Raine, PinMame & Neogeo dats, but that shouldn't affect you really much

ClrMame Pro version 2.87 gives better subdirectories handling (yeah!), so the rom count for Infocom Z-machine has been changed (just rescan your set with new CMpro).

I got bored with the christmas skin, but feel free to send me your art if you enjoy a colorfull site.

[RomManager 3.31]
* Little change to the caching system : It was working quite well but... too much :].
Now the cache info is only used on requests involving multiples sets (section displays, short statistics and total). All other standard functions will read the true logfiles (and automatically update the cache). That does mean you only have to remember to press 'Clear Cache' once, just after updating a whole bunch of dats (especially Tosec dats).
* Excluded roms in goodsets are no more counted in the total owned
Bananolu
20030101 [RomManager 3.30]
Kind of a big core update this time (dedicated to Pepak), but not totally like I wanted yet :
* Cache support, to limit excessive calculations on requests (especially Tosec)
WARNING : The cache information is not refreshed when a set is full, so please think to use the Refresh Cache option after any dat update (I should improve this soon.)
* Paths are stocked differently, to avoid conflicts on rlm.ini updates (you'll have to regenerate all paths once this time)

Tosec packs and checkfiles have been uploaded, and...

Note about the Pinball tables dats :
the existing pinball tables can be sorted in 3 categories (thus 3 different dats)...
- real recent pinball tables, with digital circuitry : simulation needs both visual Pinball & vPinMame, tables from "Visual PinMAME Tables" database , and ROMs from current PinMAME database
- real older pinball tables, with analog display or only mechanics : simulation needs only visual Pinball and tables from "Visual Pinball Tables" database
- original pinball tables, created from scratch by their author, and designed for visual Pinball. The database for those files is not hosted here anymore, but you can find it on Metroid's site in the CUSTOM section.

20020620 [RomManager 3.05]
Okay, a little mistake has been made with 3.04 ini, so this quick update gets back JPEM to JPM as it should always have been.
The 3 last dats have been drastically re-verified, too, so you can re-download it (I promise there won't be another today :)

[RomManager 3.04]
I release this one to reflect Metroid's changes in the Fruit Machines dats organization (all roms are now grouped, because multiples emulators can handle them)
Also, code v3.04 includes a few WIP functionnalities, but I didn't find the time to fix some older bugs. That can wait for a (near) future version.
News include support for exclusions in GoodTools, minimisable GUI, and a "unscanned" flag when no stat is available for a set.

WARNING for RomCenter users: latest version of RC create missing lists (with roms) now with "missrom.txt" instead of "miss.txt", so I changed this in RomManager. You may have to rename your existing txts if you want the generate paths to work.

Oooops... forgotten a } in the last script (3.02), so it was not usable. I'm really sorry, now it's corrected. You can get RM 3.03 from the link above.

20020610 [Rebirth !]

I am pleased to claim that this great site is not dead and it will keep on bringing you updated RomManager script and quality dats for your various emu-collections.

As you can see at the top, there's a totally new version of RomManager, which is not compatible with v2.xx. Don't have a regret, that's the only negative point about it. It includes many new features and has different/better behaviour in many cases. It should work with any mIrc version >5.9 . Also, I'm counting on your bug-reports to help me coding a perfect tool.

The dat filling hierarchy has had some serious modifications with RM 3. We hope it's more logical and.. clean like this, at the price of rescanning most of your sets (I'm sorry for this inconvenience). But don't forget to come tell us in #Rommanager (Newnet) your opinions if you disagree on any point or want to see interesting ideas included in the future.
There are also a few recently-introduced dats that need much work, so be patient, or come helping a little :)

Thanks to Dremscape for the work he has made on the site since qoop has quit.

Final Message from q^-o|o-^p
20020220     As many of you already know, I have been serving as the founder of the IRC channel #roms4free on NewNet since October of 2000. Unfortunately, the time has come for me to give up this endeavor. Indeed, the time has come for me to take leave of this part of 'the emulation scene' entirely. As you can tell from my posts on this site, I've never been particularly wordy, and thus I'll keep this relatively short.

    I could ramble endlessly about the current state of 'the scene,' (especially Nintendo 64 and MPU Fruit Machines) but that is not my goal here. While I will certainly admit that the attitude of many 'sceners' desperately needs improvement, I'll not be so naïve as to name them as my primary reason for my decision. Yes, I have become quite sick of the endless asininities performed, the results of many puerile teenagers with nothing better to do. But no, they have not forced me away. They are tolerable.

    What is not tolerable is the sheer amount of time I've wasted in this community. Yes, much of it was spent bettering the place, keeping ROM lists up-to-date, or even providing new/useful information to those who needed it. But far too much of it was spent in that ubiquitous state known as 'idling.' I've realized that this squandering of time is something in which I no longer desire to participate.

    I am currently a Junior at university, studying Computer Science. Contrary to popular belief, this does take time and effort.
    I have artistic interests in computer generated graphics, photography, and music. Contrary to popular belief, this also takes time and effort.
    I have met a wonderful young woman whom I respect far more than many of the sex-crazed lunatics on IRC are even capable of, and my relationship with her does, contrary to popular belief, take time and effort.
    I work as an assistant to many professors on my campus. Contrary to popular belief, this takes time and effort.

    In short, I believe that I have better things to do with my time.

    Note that I am not totally devoiding myself of emulation entirely... I'm sure I'll keep up with the things that interest me and maybe even visit the IRC channels on occasion, but I do not wish to maintain a position as the founder of #roms4free, nor will I be able to perform the upkeep required of this, the RMD site.

    Thus, I have made the following two decisions:
    1. By a democratic voting system, Judge_ has been named as the 'successor to foundership' of #roms4free.
    2. I have made available my editing tool for RomManager, and you may do what with it as you please. If, however, someone believes themself responsible and informed enough to continue maintenance of the RomManager rlm.ini file or RMDats, I will provide access to the website (Skybaby willing, of course) for updating. The script itself is in the public domain, but please at least give me credit if you decide to blatantly rip off of it.

    I do wish to express my gratitude for everything my friends amongst 'the scene' have done for me over the years we've known each other. Without the kindness of certain others, I would certainly not have stayed around as long as I did. I think you know who you are, so I shouldn't have to name anyone.

    And with that, I close down my operations, and move on. I wish you all the best of days in the future, and happy emuing!
