RomCenter 3.7.1 renames SNES roms to MGD unexpectedly
Issue #83
resolved
Using the UI and included no-intro dat (Nintendo - Super Nintendo Entertainment System Parent-Clone (20120322)), when I run Roms -> Advanced -> Rename Roms, it renames them to use the .mgd extension.
This is unexpected because the source roms are in .sfc format and the .dat file also specifies .sfc. The source of my roms is the no-intro collection from (2017-05-29)
Exact repro steps:
- Open RomCenter 3.7.1
- File -> New
- Load games list from datafile
- {romcenter_root}\Datas\nointro\Nintendo - Super Nintendo Entertainment System Parent-Clone (20120322).dat
- Open
- Create the game database
- temp.rdt
- Save
- File -> Add rom path
- Navigate to folder containing the individual .zip files containing the .sfc files
- OK
- Expand Rom files in the left-hand navigator
- Expand the folder you added
- Click a zip folder
- Note that the file on the right is .sfc
- Roms -> Advanced -> Rename Roms
- Note that the file on the right is now .mgd
Interestingly, the "Rom name" entry in the right panel for the games also appear to be .mgd, I do not know where RomCenter is pulling this data.

Romcenter uses a plugin for this snes datafile. The plugin will analyse the rom content and identify the real game crc and also the rom format. Romcenter can then rename the rom using its real format (mgd here). This is a normal behaviour and your emulator is capable of reading this file.
Please switch to romcenter 4, v3 is obsolete.
