ckmame

If you're an avid player of MAME, the Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator, you'll know the importance of having a fully functional and correctly configured ROM set. This is where ckmame comes in - a comprehensive program designed to check and maintain ROM sets for MAME.

Using ckmame, you'll be able to easily identify which ROM files in your set are missing or have incorrect checksums. Additionally, the program can also remove any unknown or unused files from your ROM sets, as well as efficiently rename or move files as needed.

The only requirements for using ckmame are the presence of lib (at least version 1.1.2), libzip, and Berkeley DB. Optionally, you can also install libxml2 for parsing xmame -listxml output.

With its latest release, ckmame has added support for directly reading RomCenter dat files from zip archives, as well as the ability to torrentzip ROM sets. Plus, the program has switched from using Berkeley DB to the more modern SQLite3.

Overall, ckmame is an essential tool for any serious MAME player looking to keep their ROM sets fully functional and up-to-date.
