TODO

StatusDB

  • Requirements
    • dillo: what happend during last run (game i got are renamed, added, removed)
    • wiz: current state of set (what's missing that's not mia, got games with mia roms; list and counts)

Other

  • Fix failing tests.
  • Empty directory in ArchiveDir is not cleaned up, which makes removing empty archive fail.
  • status update: SIGINFO support in Archive::commit, via libzip progress callback
  • search loose files in zipped mode: Add option in ArchiveDir to ignore zip files, but keep in .ckmame.db.
  • speedup idea: when opening archives (in extra dirs) only compute hashes if we need them
  • mkmamedb: When a game is in two dat files (identical name and ROMs), skip it from second (with warning).
  • handle multiple writers to ckmamedb
  • rar read support
  • add option to keep ROMs with detector applied
  • bug: when creating a fixdat and re-checks happen, games end up in the fixdat multiple times
  • when committing to unknown fails because source archive is broken, move source archive out of the way.

Later

  • use CkmameDB as old db
  • mkmamedb: analyze speed, make it faster
  • clean up archives in .ckmame.db for manually removed dirs/zips
  • Variables in config file (e.g. for collection root directory).

Other Features

  • fixdat: if only checking child, ROM missing in parent is not in fixdat
  • parse: add state checking to parse-cm.c
  • parse: check for duplicate attributes
  • mkmamedb: handle size 0 crc -
  • mkmamedb: no error message for missing newline in last line
  • complete raine support (multiple archive names: archive ( name "64th_street" name "64street" ))

Code Cleanups

  • make parse_cm table driven
  • fix all TODOs
  • Move delete_unknown_pattern to DatOptions.
  • exceptions and error messages:
    • who creates which part of the error messages
    • catch exceptions in main and print errors (done in ckmame and mkmamedb).
    • clean up Exceptions without text
  • C++ cleanups:
    • move lineno into ParserSource
    • add tests for all tokens in all parser backends:
      • cm
      • rc
      • xml

Tests

  • Remove mame.db from tests that don't need it.
  • Only use mame.db files from inside the test directory.
  • Add test for mkmamedb -F cm.
  • extend at least following tests to use md5/sha1 as well:
    • delete-used-superfluous.test
    • needed-cleanup.test
    • punused.test
    • rom-broken-replace.test
    • rom-from-extra-child.test
    • rom-unused.test
    • swap-roms-2.test
    • rom-many.test
    • swap-roms.test
  • case differences (game name / archive / rom / file in archive)
  • extra cleanup done when all games checked
  • is superfluous file that needs detector cleaned up correctly?
  • detector
    • header field
    • write to db
    • use on matching file
    • use on non-matching file
    • rule operations
    • [test] is superfluous file that needs detector cleaned up correctly?
  • dumpgame
  • mkmamedb tests
    • mtree output format
    • /prog from command line
    • /prog from file
    • broken input
  • test using roms from two different 'old' roms

CacheDB

maybe

  • [feature] move database out of the way if it's an older version
  • [test] unzipped: take ROM from top-level file in roms
  • [test] run unzipped-ckmamedb-* for zip as well
  • [cleanup] rename dbh_cache to cachedb
  • [feature] compute all hashes when called with -i
  • [test] unzipped, dir with name ending in .zip

later

  • [feature] save detector hashes to cachedb
  • fix Xcode warnings
  • [test] fix preload on OS X
  • [feature] if .ckmame.db can't be opened, move aside and create new

Unsorted/Old

  • mkmamedb doesn't handle chds (ignores for zipped, includes in games as rom for unzipped) ! [feature] reorder cleanup step when renaming files to remove the copies earlier; otherwise big renames on big sets don't work. ! [bug] cleanup reports file that were used this time as "not used" ! [bug] cleanup after using disks reports errors because disks were moved Example: 
    ckmame: new/file.chd: cannot remove: No such file or directory
In image new/file.chd:
image new/file.chd: not used
  • [feature] mkmamedb: parser for mtree files
  • [bug] check/fix database error reporting (pass on sqlite3 errors)
  • [feature] inconsistent zip in ROM set: copy files to new zip
  • [feature] mkmamedb: mark ROMs without checksums as nogooddump
  • [bug] mkmamedb -F dat:
    • write & unquoted (perhaps other meta characters as well)
    • write Umlaut wrong
      Entity: line 5986: parser error : Input is not proper UTF-8, indicate encoding !
  Bytes: 0x81 0x63 0x6B 0x73
              <rom name="Gl�cksrad.ipf" size="1049180" crc="008b8870" sha1="b1a4bba7c96ce0c2
                           ^
    Suggested solution: using iconv and LC_CTYPE, try transcribing invalid UTF-8 files to UTF-8 if it fails or no iconv or LC_CTYPE available, replace invalid characters with '?'
  • [cleanup] access db directly in find_*
  • [cleanup] specify globally which parts of lists to fill/maintain
  • [bug] check if needed/extra are different
  • [bug] DB export: pass all dat entries to output backend
  • [bug] DB export: export detector
  • [bug] diagnostics (fix?): don't process disks if checking samples
  • [feature] mkmamedb: split to original CM dat files + detector XML on export
  • [feature] database consistency checks during mkmamedb
    • are all roms of one set included in one other set
    • are two sets the same, just different name
  • [feature] --cleanup-extra: remove (unnecessary?) directories
  • [feature] support multiple -O arguments
  • [compatibility] Accept CRCs of length < 8 by zero-padding them (in front)
  • [cleanup] refactor fixing code (one function per operation)
  • [cleanup] handle archive refreshing in archive.c
  • [cleanup] rename: file is part of zip archive, rom is part of game
