[I] About
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Automated ROM Tools or ART is The Original Automated ROM Tools. Automated ROM Tools or ART is a suite of automated ROM and datafile software tools.
Here are some of the features of Automated ROM Tools:
* Building dats for patches
* Building dats for ROMs
* Sorting dats
* Splitting dats
* Deheadering ROMs
* Trimming ROMs
* More to come
Automated ROM Tools is mostly unfinished. The GUI does not exist yet.
[II] Notes
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1) This software should NOT be used on files that are not backed up!
2) This software should be installed as close to the drive's root directory as possible. The nature of things dictates that there will be very long filenames, on occasion. Keep in mind that some things may not work correctly if you choose too long of a path to put your files.
[III] Installation
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Download and unzip the program to any location that you wish to use. However, this software should be installed as close to the drive's root directory as possible.
I like to put my installation in a directory called ART on my C:\ drive. My installation layout looks like this:
C:\ART\Batches\
C:\ART\Dats\
C:\ART\DatsSorted\
C:\ART\DatsSplit\
C:\ART\Docs\
C:\ART\Logs\
C:\ART\Patches\
C:\ART\ROMs\
C:\ART\ROMsDeheaded\
C:\ART\ROMsTrimmed\
C:\ART\AutomatedROMTools-CLI.exe
