RRR v0.3a Readme
================

NOTE: this is a beta version of the software

Please back up your roms before trying this tool 
though it has been fully tested by myself I am not 
responsible for loss of roms.

How To Use:
===========

Ok now thats out of the way yime to get down to the nitty gritty

1) click the browse button on database path and pick the zip file
"Nintendo Gameboy Advance Redump Project (RRR).zip" found in my
dats zip on the web site

2) select a source and destination path for the roms
source = where your roms are 
destination = where to move/rename to (not needed to just scan)

3) select naming/renaming/including methods by clicking on the needed option buttons and selecting from the popups

number = include pocketheaven numbers
add size = show size in mbits in the filename
add crc = show crc in the filename

eg.

0001 - F-Zero - Maximum Velocity (J) [!] (32mbit) (25e3fc9a)

use subdirs = move/rename into database subdirs based on sort method

type = Beta | Roms | Hardware | Overdump etc... (only one that works)
size = 32mbit | 64mbit etc...
country = Japan | Europe | USA | China etc...

* in the future....
*group = Eurasia | Mode7 | iND etc...
*publisher = Nintendo | Sega etc...

4) click the scan method you wish
scan = scan only (no renaming or moving)
move = move known files to destination (with sub dirs if needed)
rename = reanme known files to destination (with subdirs if needed)

5) sit back and wait :)

6) click save logs

7) click "reset haves" to clear your "have" list

Known Bugs: (or future features)
===========

* does not include group name
* does not include publisher name
* does not rename inside zips
* does not fix roms (resize overdumps/remove intros)
* does not delete bad dumps
* does not recognise ALL roms (give me a msg if you have unk roms that migth be useful)

History:
========

0.1a Initial Release

0.2a Fixed

+ does not save which roms you have between sessions -- now saves a rrrgba.db between sessions
+ cannot pick a root of a drive as source or destination -- should be fixed perfect for source and dest
+ does not save setting between sessions -- now saves settinggs to rrrgba.ini
+ does not scan unzipped roms -- ok should work (but roms need to be .gba not .bin)

0.3a Fixed

+ rearragned UI and made popups for options not needing to be shown all the time
+ added option to include/exclude (more details when I get real manual written)
+ new database fields so needed a new release :P
