July 4th, 2021

Happy 4th of July Everyone, and to celebrate here is the big new V3.3.0 RV Release, with one of the biggest whats new / bug fix list in a long time:

Big updates:
The RV UI can still be used will Scanning/Fixing

Added in most ZIP de-compression methods (all that I have ever actually see in the wild.)
0 - The file is stored (no compression)
1 - The file is Shrunk
2 - The file is Reduced with compression factor 1
3 - The file is Reduced with compression factor 2
4 - The file is Reduced with compression factor 3
5 - The file is Reduced with compression factor 4
6 - The file is Imploded
8 - The file is Deflated
9 - Enhanced Deflating using Deflate64(tm)
12 - File is compressed using BZIP2 algorithm
14 - LZMA
20,93 - (Supported, with external DLL) Zstandard (zstd) de-compression
98 - PPMd version I, Rev 1

I do not belive there is any other C# library anywhere that supports this many ZIP compression methods, I hand coded a number of these more obscure de-compression methods myself from scratch!

V1,2,3,4 (Compression method <3) CHD's are now supported/scanned internally within RV's own code. (latest ChdMan does not read V1 CHD files.)

Scanning level 2 is now the default scanning level, you can Scan at level 1 & 3 from right click menu on the tree

Now using a nice new cleaner looking RomVault Logo.

Other Fixes:

• Can now sort on more columns in the game lists
• Worked on Case Sensitivity issues while fixing files.
• Fixed a t7zip checking bug for bigger that 32bit t7zip files
• Re-worked Checking for Fixes with Zero Length files, so fixing workes faster with zero length files.
• Fixed: If an archive contains all the correct files, and then there is a DAT update that changes only the character case of any of these files, then the archive is still marked as good and the files are not renamed to the proper case.
• Fixed: If a set needs a fix from an archived file with the “incorrect character case” issue above, then a file system error is thrown when that fix is attempted.
• DAT's that named the CHD's with the extention are no longer named file.chd.chd
• Cleaned up the Color Key Help Form

April 26th, 2021

• One bug leads to another... so while deep testing the V3.2.4 version I found a different logic problem going on while fixing. (This one have been around for about 5 months.) And while talking to some others on Discorde another problem with case sensitive file systems showed up, so that also got a fix. So go grab V3.2.5

April 23th, 2021

• Another edge case bug squashed (Unknown status in double check delete.), and a nice little speed up while fixing (Found a way to get the code a little more parallel). Both added to this release. V3.2.4

April 8th, 2021

• Found a small edge case crash when fixing 7z files, thanks go out to the user over in my Discord Server for setting me up with an example of the crash. It always makes it so much easier when I can see a reproducable crash setup. So go grab 3.2.3

January 26th, 2021

Somewhere in the last few releases a bug crept in causing zipped file to not be fixed if only the case of the rom name in the DAT set was changed.
This has now been fixed in release 3.2.2

After you install this version you should 'Shift/Right Click' on the Update DATs button to fully reload your DATs, doing this will make RV find any incorrectly cased zip files.
If RV finds any you can then 'Find Fixes' & 'Fix ROMs' to correct these Zip Files.

To read more about 'Shift/Right click' please see this Wiki page: Wiki Side Buttons

December 24th, 2020, Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas everyone, and to celebrate here is an update with some nice bugs fixed.And a fun version number to... V3.2.1, Download link over on the left, and wishing you all a Happy New Year.

• RomVault will no longer overwrite unknown (unscanned) files while fixing
• .7z caching does not make multiple cache files any more, and cache fixing .7z files in ToSort now works.
• Full report crash bug
• fixed Dats containing zero files now show as green.

Had some good code feedback, big thanks to LnmVolbo on Github, so here are those fixes to rom reporting, fix reporting, and sorting by filesize, plus a small bug fix to the multi threaded file checking V2.2.7.

May 19th, 2016

The Multi threaded checking is now getting to a good stable point so I have put out a new full release V2.2.6.

ROMVault 2.2.0[SVN 30]

Author: gjefferyes | Date: 8 grudnia 2014 17:29:43

• Cleaned up a little more, removed the frmRegistration code.
• And ready for a first github release. so changed to version 2.2

ROMVault 2.2.0[SVN 29]

Author: gjefferyes | Date: 13 listopada 2014 16:54:31

• remove service References

ROMVault 2.2.0[SVN 28]

Author: gjefferyes | Date: 13 listopada 2014 16:42:53

• Merge pull request #8 from jwestfall69/mono-ui-fixes2
• Additional Mono rendering fixes

ROMVault 2.2.0[SVN 27]

Author: jim.westfall | Date: 5 listopada 2014 22:51:51

• Force all pTree.Tree.RTree to have aleast some width.
• This fixes ToSort not having the "└" in the tree view.

ROMVault 2.2.0[SVN 26]

Author: jim.westfall | Date: 5 listopada 2014 22:15:20

• ui rendering fixes for progress window
• FrmProgressWindow.Designer.cs was setup for the windows being 591 wide,
• but rv was forcing it to be 498 when the window was brought up. This
• was confusing mono and it was causing rendering issues. This patch
• makes it so the Designer and rv agree on the width of the window.
• Additional adjustments were made to standardize the spacing between
• window edge/progress bar/button, resulting in a width of 511.

ROMVault 2.2.0[SVN 25]

Author: jim.westfall | Date: 2 listopada 2014 01:05:14

• Additional Mono rendering fixes
• - on initial rendering mono likes to send a resize event where the width
• is 0, ignore it. This was causing gbDatInfo to not render until a
• manual resize was done.
• - set AutoScaleMode to System.Windows.Forms.AutoScaleMode.None. This
• fixes a number of rendering issues under mono and didnt seem to have any
• negative effect under c#/windows builds.
• - tweak some of the initial form sizes and locations on FrmMain. A
• number of the setting didnt make sense based on the size of the panel
• they were put it. This resolves an issue with the gbDatInfo and
• gbSetInfo starting off with the wrong size under mono.

Author: jim.westfall | Date: 8 listopada 2014 19:19:27

• speed up populating GameGrid
• These changes speed up how long it takes to populate the GameGrid after
• clicking on a dat in the Tree. MAME 0.155 dat was used for testing.
• Before the changes population times were
• windows .net = 2.75 seconds
• linux mono = 23 seconds
• After the changes, both now take 300-400ms.
• This was done using 2 main changes.
• 1. Fully move populating the rows' Values to the CellFormatting function
• 2. Determine the total number of rows we will need and use
• GameGrid.rowCount to set the row count to that. This is much faster
• then doing individual Add()'s for each row.

ROMVault 2.2.0[SVN 18]

Author: jim.westfall | Date: 29 października 2014 01:42:33
