Because AdvanceSCAN doesn't check CHDs, I've written a tiny CHD auditing tool in Python (minimum version 2.3, for the built-in "sets" library):
http://home.comcast.net/~b.langenb/chdscan-0.1.tar.bz2 To install, simply unpack it and type: # python setup.py install To use it, give it the XML file generated by MAME's --listinfo command and the parent directory of your CHDs. It will recursively scan that directory for CHD files, check them against MAME's info file and print a report of all valid, invalid, missing and extra CHDs you have. It doesn't open any files for writing, so it should be perfectly safe to use. And, it's released under a BSD-style license, if anyone cares. But since it's hosted on my personal webspace, please mirror it somewhere if you'd like to announce it to a wider audience than the xmame list. I hope you find it useful, -Brian _______________________________________________ Xmame mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://toybox.twisted.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/xmame
