a goot tool question

[ulaoulao]

I have to ask first, can I ask about goodgba? I have a question about that program not the roms.

[Genome]

^ yes you can good (programs) is talked about often on here (at least mentioned)

I have to ask first, can I ask about goodgba? I have a question about that program not the roms.

As Genome said, yes, you can

[ulaoulao]

well if at any point its not to be talk about I understand.

goodgba 2.01 is missing roms. That is all I will say. I cant get tosec working, and rom doctor seems to hate me. I need a full rom renamer for my gba that knows more roms then goodgba 2.01, is there one? If tosec is better I wll register on their site to download it.

GoodGBA has not been updated for a very long time. TOSEC has no GBA. You can use the No-Intro dat. You will need ClrMame or RomCenter to use it. ClrMame is better IMHO, but RomCenter is easier to use.
Good luck

[ulaoulao]

I have ClrMame for mame, and I lik it. So I just needs the No-Intro dats. Ill give it a go.

[alcoatjez]

Normally it is updated within a couple of days after new releases.

[Genome]

okay so im retarded what does the good and all the others alco actually do.
i know it makes a list of all the games. but other than that does it really do anything amazing?

[alcoatjez]

Goodtools and the datfiles check and rename the ROMs you have. In this way you can see which ROMs you have and which ones you're missing. Some can also fix your ROMs. I'm a collector (about 400GB of ROMs), so this is very important to me. If you take f.e. the No-Intro dats, they only contain perfect dumps of commercial games. In this way they will be preserved when the original consoles are gone.

[ulaoulao]

I'm just the same as, alcoatjez. I too are a collector. I could not live without ClrMame are the good tools.

alcoatjez? will the No-Intro dat's work with goodmerge? rather, will romcenter or ClrMame(this is a no I 100% on) make a have file so I can use it with goodmerge. At least I think thats all I need. Goodmerge has up to date xmdb files.
