Main installer : http://www.teambadattitude.co.uk/ROM-Renamer/download/RRR.msi

Update : http://www.teambadattitude.co.uk/ROM-Renamer/download/ROM-Renamer.exe

Bugs/To-do
==========
CANCEL NOT CANCELLING!!!! (Can lead to corrupt ROMs)
Settings/Zipping/Split - Doesn't keep them together if un-checked! *** STILL SPLITS THEM! ***
Program updater (if one has been downloaded)
Write full error handler
Recurse sub-directory? Not within zips - but within folders!
Check for 'changed' ROMs *** Need to re-think ***
UPLOADER - Need real error checking if rom already exists!
Seems to cause a problem with file names if there is a comma in them. <-- fixed in v1.2.2 (also did a few cosmetic bits - see if you can spot them Wink

).
Problem with certain un-zipped ROMs. <-- fixed in v1.2.3
Crash out if any of the directories are deleted or moved. <-- fixed in v1.2.5
Add 'print' button to rom list (have/miss etc) <-- fixed on v1.2.9 <-- improved in 1.2.10
Error on time-out with dat update. Double check 'update' when it times out! <-- fixed in v1.2.16
Bug when file extension only 2 characters <-- fixed in v1.2.15
Updating Have/Miss lists with no update <-- fixed in v1.2.16

Feature Requests
================
"One of the things that keeps getting more difficult is that all the renamed ROMs are stored in one directory. It would be nice to split them, e.g. on a country basis (Japanese, US, other), or perhaps on a range basis"
Make main screen bigger/sizeable?
Make it Vista compatible Wink

.
Add Drag and Drop for lazy people Shocked

Add RAR support <-- added in 1.2.11 <-- removed in v1.2.12 (too slow at CRC'ing!)
Make the 'Temp' directory user selectable <-- done in v1.2.5
Exclude 'excludes' from Have/Miss lists <-- done in v1.2.8
Quick scan (scan 'renamed' directory without renaming) <-- added in v1.2.4 (also altered the renaming mask problem for Pantera Shocked

)
Add PSP console <-- added in v1.2.1 (thanks to AdvanScener for the DAT)
Add Russian support <-- added in v1.2.6 <-- fixed in v1.2.7 Embarassed

Add Sweden support <-- added in v1.2.11
Add .DSI extension to NDS section <-- added in v1.2.17

I have used the Rom Renamer on Win XP and for the most part Smile

it works fine. When I installed it on Windows Vista Ultimate (x64) I'll upload a screenshot of the error later but it was Runtime Error '713'

I haven't tried it on Vista yet. It probably won't work until I upgrade my version of Visual Studio.

Once I have a stable release, complete with the 'features' listed above, I'll revisit the 'upgrade to Vista' path.

Unless somebody wants to 'donate' a copy of VS2007 and Vista Shocked

Actually I wouldn't mind it splitting up the folders into country this way.

That one was a bit sneaky of me - as it was a request to Vinpire about his NintenRen.

As he never got around to doing it - I thought I'd add it to mine.

Hi Raffles I tried changing a couple setting on the program and now I'm getting this message. "You must include the rom dumper, %1, if just using the name, %t (click "default' to set default string) This is how i've always had it set %n - %t (%c). The things I changed was for rom country I put only USA and under rom status I deselected all of them. It seems like it won't allow me to name files with that naming pattern.

Raffles · Posted: Sun Apr 29, 2007 9:16 am Post subject:

That was actually one of the cosmetic changes I mentioned above (well done for finding it Wink

).

The reason for it was to stop a crash when roms of the same name existed more than once (eg. GBA #0115 or #0116). If it was set the way you had it - all 3 roms would end up with the same name - even though they are 3 different versions of the same rom.

I now it's a pain - but that's how it was in the early days.

Which console are you using that convention for? Maybe I could create an exception for it.

I've now turned the 'error' in to a 'warning'. This means that you can still use your mask as before - you'll just get a warning message everytime you change the settings.

I've also added the quick scan routine in for you all to test Smile

Raffles the quick scan works with no problems. I was wondering if its possible for a small request. For the file names I noticed that the word "of" is capitalized is it possible to have it lowercased instead so that it can rename the files.

Raffles · Posted: Wed May 02, 2007 3:20 pm Post subject:

I've also capitalised EVERY word - check 'The, And, If, With' etc.

Why do you want just 'of' changing?

ROM-Renamer's having trouble zipping up 0749 - Cinnamoroll - Ohanashi Shiyo! Kira Kira DE Kore Cafe (J).nds.
It leaves the ROM in the Temp folder and makes a zip, 0749 - Cinnamoroll - Ohanashi Shiyo! Kira Kira DE Kore Café (J).zip, with nothing in it that's 53 bytes big.
Also, why does it name the zip with Café, but the ROM with Cafe?

Errr - pass!

What I mean is that it works perfectly for me (both zipped and un-zipped). I even renamed the file a few times - and everytime it named both the zip and the rom with the é (it uses the same variable for both the rom name and zip name when renamming is ticked).

It seems like Rom-renamer is having problems renaming the original rom with the é - is the rom set to read only? If so, try clearing all attributes set on it and try it again.

In the meantime I recheck the attribute function - as it was supposed to take care of this issue.

Unless it is another 'globalisation' problem (which it shouldn't be if you got a zip file with the é in).

EDIT : I've just tried it as read-only and it still works fine for me. I even made it a hidden file - and it still worked. What version of the .exe are you using?
