Hi,

It's been a hundred years since I did anything in C (or anything else really) so I'm very rusty. To ease myself into it again I want to code a small DAT file checker for the Amiga (DAT files used with clrmame) but I can't find the file specs anywhere (i.e offsets etc.) for the DAT files.

I've had a quick look at a DAT file in a HEX editor and I think that each record is 155 bytes but like I said I'm rusty ( and lazy

) so was hoping someone had the file offsets for creating/reading a DAT file.

Any help will be appreciated!

Cheers,
Brakus
