Recommended Posts

Upgraded my membership after using the DSU, great program. but I'm still getting "Maximum Free Bandwidth for today has been reached" message, could this be fixed please.

If you have used it in it's free form it can sometimes take up to an hour to replace your credentials on the other server.

Thanks Guy's,

I have managed to download the Mame Video_FLV_HI_QUAL files using the DSU for my mame 039 rom set. Thank you for you help earlier.

Question:

I know the mame Video_FLV_HI_QUAL files on the emumovies sever are not complete when comparing to the mame 039 rom set, but when using the DSU, does the DSU download the latest WIP Video_FLV_HI_QUAL files?

That doesn't make scanning for new and updates media convenient at all. You first move all your media to the temp scanning folder scan it and move it back. To do a whole set you need to copy each folder to each download folder, run the tool grab a couple new files and then move 5 types of medias back to the correct folders. It makes a lot more sence to configure the download tool with your correct download dirs.

You are correct, but Id like to keep things simple and automatic rather than creare a load of options but there will be changes for it to better tie in with Hyperspin soon which Im guessing is what you are really wanting.

First of all, thank you for this great tool and service! :confused:

THe only glitch i've found is that some snaps are stretched (GBx and NES).

I would prefer downloading them in their original resolution.

Hello there!

I've been using this utility with no errors so far. Thank you again for this, it really is a joy to use!

Whilst I've been using it, I've used the -All Artwork- option to automate that part of the process, but I've noticed that using this also downloads the game manuals and MP3s. Whilst they're a nice bonus, I wouldn't class them as artwork and I wouldn't really use them myself - and I guess it's kind of a waste of your bandwidth when I download them?

Others have suggested ways around this and I wondered if you were perhaps going to include extra download options in the utility?

I can envision users that only keep CP, title, snap, and video on their system. etc.

Just a quick suggestion. Rather than a droplist of choices of what to get, can we have a series of check boxes?

Would be easier.

i would suggest moving the music files (mp3's) to it's own section like the vids are.

i have no real use for them on my cab and it makes downloading "all artwork" longer as well as takes up space.

it's a great bonus that they are there, but err.... it's not artwork.

Break up the Media drop-down into multiple checkboxes (or a multiple selector). Maybe I just want to download the box art, music, and Video_AVI, but not everything. However, it takes a while, so I don't want download each section individually, since I can't just let it go. Nor do I want to say -All- because I already downloaded the rest, and don't want to waste time downloading the FLV stuff that I don't use, anyway.

Also, when using your utility to check for updates of previous downloaded art and videos, it would be ideal if the utility could remember your file paths for each ROM collection please.

Would be cool if it would remember your asset and system location. Then you only need to set up each system once,.

Thanks for the feedback, it is definitly noted. IIll hopefully have a new version out soon with some of this implemented.

Thanks for the tool. We patiently await the day when we can configure a few things and click on a single Update button to refresh/download everything we need. This thing is about 90% of the way there!

i did notice that manuals are not included when you select all artwork for download if this is suppose to happen then ok

also i know this happens when downloading mame art but not sure about others

EDIT:

can a saved setting for scan sub-folders also be saved per system instead of as a global setting??

Well it will send you a PM which in turn generates an email. ;)

ok i was more or less thinking thay wouldn't need to do any thing but start the app and it would pop up a window that would tell you that an update is available.

me and probably others dont check emails everyday this is just a suggestion(and hopefully can be done but if not thats ok as well)

i also asked about can a saved setting for scan sub-folders also be saved per system instead of as a global setting

i would like to add the ability to saved setting for check for update files also be saved per system instead of as a global setting??

I know Tom has a list of possible add-on's and updates. I'm not dismissing your idea at all. I just wanted to point out that there was definitely a way to for you to be notified immediately when this or any other file is updated. I know that there is a fair amount of work going on with the download service now, your ideas are very much appreciated :)
