TOSEC Dat Explorer should really be improved ^^

BanisterDK · 31 July 2014, 14:48

Never really had any idea what all this dat files are for.

Can't see that I can use them to get the tosec updates.

Is there a frontend to use use with the dat files so you can download them or how do I get the updates ?

The dats files are databases for use with any of the programs below:
ClrMame Pro
ROMVault
RomCenter
Romulus
This identifies the ADF files (for example) and rename them.

Detection of special characters and spaces at the end of names for example, but I think to expand the capabilities of my DMS-Workshop because we also use an extended nomenclature on Amiga

Cassiel · 31 July 2014, 17:09

The spaces issue is a known one, and its on the dev list.

I'm doing to speak to PandMonium in the next week or so anyway and (if he has time) we'll work out a schedule of fixes to begin. This is prime for that.

What was the special character issue? Specifically? I didn't understand 'Note : $60 => $27'

There is a difference between the character ` ($60 aka grave accent) and ' ($27 aka apostrophe)

grave accent is a source of problem for many program...

Installed Romulus and the Tosec dat files.
How do I get files then ?

I can scan, build and list files in ALL/Default profiles but nothing more

Cassiel · 31 July 2014, 17:39

Oh yes.... I remember correcting a whole bunch of these manually in old DATs a few years ago.

Well, the current plan is to dump this 'low ASCII' only restriction in the TNC *in the next couple of weeks*. It is hideously archaic and I want to try and modernise these sorts of aspects in the project over the next few months. Now I've FINALLY got ALL old/abandoned DATs modernised (inasmuch as containing SHA-1 accross the board) this will be the next phase. SPECIFIC checks for char such as graves will be baked into the TDE. You have any other examples? (I have a list too somewhere!).

FYI: expect in the next few months: dumping low ASCII, dumping ZZZ-UNK- (this will now be treated as a TNC fail), moving from legacy DAT -> modern XML DAT.
