MAME v147

[Demon Cleaner]

I started downloading the complete CHD set again some days ago, takes some time, but then I have again a new clean set.

I also joined my existing 146 romset with the new one, staring at about 90%, then ran it through clrmamepro, and now it's perfect, 0 roms missing of 26353.

I also did the same. I joined my existing rom set to the split torrent and it updated, but I did also download the smaller torrent7z merged set so I have both sets, because I think they will end up going the 7z route for all sets, but whilst they are still supporting the split set I wanted to continue being able to seed it back to help others downloading.

And I also started again with the complete CHD set. It was too complicated and time consuming to try and rebuild the older set to join the next set.

They don't seem to have released the 0.147 extras set yet though.

[Demon Cleaner]

No, extras are not released yet. I think in the future we can go with the merged set, as MAME alo supports 7z, as far as I know, never tried.

I also never knew MAME directly supported 7z until these recent discussions on PD. Definitely great to shrink the rom sets.

I've got 7z already installed on all my systems, but do you know if it still work without 7z installed, and just MAME? I ask because I'm going to be giving a friend a copy of the current MAME set on a HDD for the first time and the easiest lightweight setup of MAME would be best.

[Demon Cleaner]

No idea? Like I said, this is the first time they have a merged 7z set, and I didn't try it yet, still have my normal split set installed.

New CHD set has just been posted and the existing 0.147 CHD set flagged as a broken set, so we have to download again!

Damn, download just finished

I now also downloaded the merged ROM set.
