Amiga File Server

I've moved the ones from your upload folder over. Maybe Turran could upload the missing ones.

[Turran]

Transferring the ones missing in /Redump/Commodore - Amiga CD/.
Thats the redump I have on hand.

I hate .dats for some reason.. whats a good program to compare .dat to files? I always forget and then spend an hour relearning the tool each time...

[TCD]

ROMVault is pretty easy to use.

[Retroplay]

I have a complete set of all available files at hand, including some partial sets (Land of Genesis, T-Zer0).
See MIA list
http://wiki.redump.org/index.php?tit...-_Amiga_CD_MIA
http://wiki.redump.org/index.php?tit...Amiga_CD32_MIA
Clockwiser CD32 is missing, I have tried my best to re-create the image from existing CloneCD/TOSEC ISO dumps but it's impossible, they're not 100% pristine dumps.
Same with the missing audio tracks in the partial sets I have.

If I had upload privileges in /Redump/ folder, I could easily check what's missing/outdated and update accordingly, and keep it that way.
I check these sets frequently.

I think that would be the best solution

I'm not saying no to that =) You should have full access in the Redump folder as well now.

Yeah.. no.. What? Hehe. Spent 5 minutes understanding nothing of that. I want a "Here is a dat, here are the files. Show me whats wrong" option =)

Edit: Got romvault running I think. Scanning Amiga CD

[Retroplay]

It looks like all allowed files are in place.
I didn't upload OS3.x + APC-TCP titles, hence the difference on my drive.

@Turran
Just place the dats in DATRoot folder.

If you place the dats like this:
\DATRoot\Redump\(redump dats)

Files will will rebuilt to
\RomRoot\Redump\Commodore - Amiga CD\
\RomRoot\Redump\Commodore - Amiga CDTV\
\RomRoot\Redump\Commodore - Amiga CD32\

Same with TOSEC, path structure of rebuilt files is always the same as dat folder structure.
If you use the scripts in TOSEC dat pack to create folders and move dats then copy the "Commodore" folder to
DATRoot\TOSEC\
all files be rebuilt to
\RomRoot\TOSEC\Commodore

It really is easy and saves a ton of time opposed to Clrmame where you have to spend hours setting each dat up by hand.

You can edit path to RomRoot or by each individual entry by right clicking and setting up path on your hdd.

Heh, I always forget that it doesn't include the basic folders. Retroplay explained it to me, so I'll just pass it on here if somebody else needs to figure it out:

You need three folders where the RomVault exe is:
- DatRoot
That's where the dat files go.

- RomRoot
That's where the renamed files go.

- ToSort
That's where the files that should be renamed go.

In RomVault you first click on 'Update DATs' to read the dat files in (only needs to be done when there are new dats available).

Then it's 'Scan ROMs', 'Find Fixes', and finally 'Fix ROMs'. The renamed files end up in RomRoot in subfolders. Those left in ToSort weren't recognised.

Actually pretty easy once you know that those three folders need to be created.

Edit: Or what Retroplay said

[Retroplay]

Yep, and don't forget to click "Generate Reports" and send the fixdats my way.
That way I can easily scan and fix what's needed.

[edit]
I upped some partial Amiga CD to my folder.
Probably best to leave them where they are until the missing audio tracks turns up.

[Turran]

Thanks for the explanation =)

[Retroplay]

I need the generated fixdats.
If you right click on "Generate Reports" you'll be asked where to save the fixdat files.

It should look like this:
fixDat_Commodore - Amiga CD - Datfile (566) (2024-02-20 02-08-54).dat
That's the ones I need to rebuild what's missing.

In the meantime, the missing four CDTV titles is being upped now.

Alright, I'll fill in the missing files except the AmigaOS and APC-TCP stuff.
Partial archives of Land of Genesis (Europe) and T-Zero (Europe) can be found in my user upload folder.
The missing audio tracks for these have yet to surface.

[Retroplay]

Turran, can you do a rescan of the uploaded files and post a new log ?

I think I have all allowed content covered but it'd be nice to double check, just in case.

[Turran]

I ran this an hour or so ago. Not sure if it synced all the files. I'll start a new one now.

https://grandis.nu/images/Craplinks/fixdat.zip

I see it syncing new files now, so the above file is not valid.. ignore it.

[Retroplay]

Nope, it looks like it hasn't synced yet.
I know I upped some of those missing files.

Just reply here in a day or so, by then it should be synced up, or at least it ought to be.

[Turran]

Here is a quickscan. Forced a sync =)

https://grandis.nu/images/Craplinks/fixdat2.zip

[Retroplay]

There, all available files upped.

The remaining files are all MIA (or prohibited on FTP).

[Turran]

I forgot to say thanks for the redump help, so.. thanks
