ADFs - renaming / comparing / finding out if you have anything rare!!!
Want to rename, compare or find out if any of the .ADF files you posses are rare without having to run multiple .DAT files via ClrMAMEPro? Then this is the thread for you
I've taken all the latest public .ADF based TOSEC Commodore Amiga .DAT files and combined then into one. Here's the a list of the various .DAT files which have been combined:

Here are the instructions you should follow:
Preliminary:
Running ClrMAMEPro:
All renamed / identified files will be sitting in the "C:\___FOUND" directory. Any rare / unrecognised files will be sitting in the "C:\___ORIGINAL" directory. |

Greetings,
Indeed Damien has done a great job of combining the files, I still don't like Clrmamepro, so I will still develop my own software. The moment of truth revails that I do indeed still have much that's not in TOSEC and that is just from the single archive that's been done and doesn't include all of the additional images I will have available soon from various other collections. I'll collate a list for perusal and we'll go from there, should be done by Friday. Big thanks to all that have helped in these matters, Paul |

Greetings,
Here's the list, an X donates that TOSEC couldn't find anything, although with some of the titles, I know they will exist, or the original archive that I have is corrupt, or different cracker / coder / loader / intro, if someone wants to sort through, be my guest. If someone wants something, again, just ask. Paul |

@DamienD
That's a job for me to do this weekend then - I'll run my ADF CDs through this to find out what I've got/not got. This will make my life a lot easier. Thanks Dave G |

Nice work on setting up this thread DD, I think it'll help root out some good stuff (or piles and piles of alt shit!), we shall see!

Greetings,
Everything is uploaded, I no longer have the time to sift through, someone else will have to do that. Many thanks to Magix, I have used plenty of your server, but in a few weeks, if that's ok, I will remove things as I have time, all the non working entries, or serious repeats. I urgently have to find work, if anyone needs an Electronics Tech, please email me, zero242@internode.on.net ftp://eab.whdownload.com/User/Loedown/ ftp://am1ga:JayM1n3r@eab.whdownload.com/User/Loedown/ <--- This link seems to work, sorry about the other. Go mad people, documents are there, one set is the original disk I found, the other set is the remaining disks I found after they had been put through Clrmamepro. Enjoy, Paul Last edited by Loedown; 27 February 2009 at 12:49. Reason: Stuffed Link |

Damien
Doesnt this just do the same as BatchRun? I was kinda hoping it would be the solution to my problem and put the files in the correct folders. It chucks ALL files into one folder, leaving me with 100,000 odd files perfectly named but in no kinda order!! http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?p=527948#post527948 |

LOL, slight correction to my post above in regards to the location
You can get both DAT files I've created from the "new" EAB File Server. They are loacted in the "User\DamienD\DATS" directory Here are direct links: ... Commodore Amiga - Latest Public DATS Combined - [ADF] (TOSEC-v2007-03-14_CM).zip ... Commodore Amiga - Latest Public DATS Combined With Directories - [ADF] (TOSEC-v2007-03-14_CM).zip |

Ah, my heroes... Seriously though guys, mucho thanks. That's why I posted here and not on some anonymous CLRMP forum...
Pity I have done 90% of the files but this will make the job so much easier on the rest and checking those odd files. This is how the DATS should be IMHO.... Anyone for asking Grendel or Idoru |
