Re: ROM Properties "pop up time with zip/7z games"

A compressed file is just a file. If you want to know anything about the contents of it, you have to engage the program that zipped it up or a tool that works with that program. You might get lucky and the zip might store all of the properties of every file inside it that you need in some kind of ma...

Re: Filtering lists

Hi there welcome to QuickPlay! * The MAME functionality in QuickPlay wants to show a list with all the MAME Roms in the MAME XML, it doesn't want to limit your list to only roms that exist in a folder, though you can use MAME File Manager to do this if you really want: see https://quickplay.sourcefo...

Re: Network storage

Thanks for all that info, very much appreciated. There's some work to do here! I'm wondering what the easiest way to make those CHDman batch commands cross platform would be - these look interesting: https://nastytester.com/posts/script-that-works-in-windows-and-linux.html and the similar https://st...

Re: Network storage

good to know streaming works well for you! That's really interesting. So you don't even need to ensure your emulator pre-caches the whole image instead of streaming eg: audio (its a setting in some cores in RetroArch for instance)? I still store isos as zips for most systems where the native emulato...

Re: Network storage

that's interesting about admin rights, thanks for that tidbit! I still generally find I need to unzip many disc isos in order to play them in emulators (but the newer the system the more impractical this becomes due to the iso size, its a pity that compressed iso are best for use yet zipping them is...

Re: Search not working properly in "goodmerged" lists

Ah I see what you're saying now. No the search bar can only find titles of parent zips. If you want to see why, IIRC file-finding by keyboard DOES (incorrectly IMHO) work within zips, try typing Probo when focussed on the main roms panel (assuming you have a full NES set) and look at how long it tak...

Re: Add ips files massively

Brrillitant thanks for explaining in detail on the ticket - that's just what I needed! I see the problem yes....while I think about how I might solve that, one thing you might be able to do to speed things up for you is manually edit the romdata.dat file for the set you're adding IPS files to: In Ex...

Re: Search not working properly in "goodmerged" lists

Hi there! Thanks, below is a pic of a NES goodmerged set's listing, as you can see the children are there (Probotector is in there, its just off the screen) It looks like your set is not actually a goodmerged set, unless you've heavily customised it, as a you would see (J) instead of (Japan) for ins...
