WWW profiles to use in clrmamepro for an assortment of DAT sets.

Currently automatic generation on this repository is disabled, as it is in an incomplete state. No automatic updates will be produced until further notice. Refreshes once every 24h automatically. If a task fails, its files will not be updated until the next run, but they will not be removed either. As such, if changes on the source side break these scripts, they may become out of date.

Retool has been deprecated by its author; as such, I no longer feel comfortable producing 1G1R collections using its clonelist functionality. This is because I intend for this to be a mostly automatic project; one which I do not need to maintain to any great degree. Having unmaintained dependencies goes against this theory into the future.

Note that URL sources marked with a ⬇️ have alternate feeds available, which will download the DAT files directly from their hosts, instead of from a compiled ZIP archive hosted on this repository. They may be more up-to-date by up to 24 hours, but no guarantees are offered in regards to their compatibility or availability.

"Version-fix" feed: https://github.com/dragredsim/auto-datfile-generator/releases/latest/download/translated-en-versionfix.xml

NOTE: due to how the versions are stored in the DAT files provided from this source, updated DAT files may show up in the CLRMamePro profiler as being "old" versions. This is because the version in the DAT is stored in a DD-MM-YYYY format, which is sorted as a pure text string; so an update on the 3rd of March will appear "older" than an update on the 27th February. Only the latest available file is available via the profiler. In the future, a mangled version of the translated-en.xml file will be available, which will correct this automatically; because it involves changing the values in the DAT files (which CLRMamePro uses as the comparison basis to determine new/old), it will not be available as a source pack.

Version-as-date feed: https://github.com/dragredsim/auto-datfile-generator/releases/latest/download/fbneo-versionasdate.xml

NOTE: the Version-as-date feed will set the version in the XML and DAT files to the last modified date on the FBNeo GitHub for the appropriate files. The version number is not updated on the source side until a new version number is issued for FBNeo, hence, to ensure that your DAT collection has the latest changes, this feed allows easier management by highlighting changes that the version number may hide. Again, due to needing to modify the DAT files' inherent versions, no source pack is available for this feed.

This is a feed created on-the-fly by extracting parts of the full FBNeo Arcade DAT, in order to produce a few system-specific DATs. Currently this offers DATs for the individual CPS arcade systems produced by Capcom, as some emulator frontends allow these to be their own categories. This will allow you to DAT just those systems out. No source feed will ever be offered for this feed, since it is generating the DAT files automatically based on the larger files provided by FBNeo.

Some No-Intro dats require an extra XML file to detect headers.

Download the following zips, extract them and place the XML files in clrmamepro's headers folder:

• Atari Jaguar
• Atari Lynx
• Nintendo FDS
• Nintendo NES
