Vista user note:

If you install cmpro to a protected folder like C:\program files\, you have to set the compatibility properties of cmpro.exe to 'run this program as administrator' to work correctly or you have to disable UAC. In other folders it should work fine without setting this property and without the need of disabling UAC.

Linux WINE/Mac Crossover user note:

If you got problems with the main window, set the option 'Adv_HideWindow = off' in cmpro.ini. In case you don't have a cmpro.ini yet, create one with the following two lines:
[CMPRO SETTINGS]
Adv_HideWindow = off

Windows 9x Users:

Update your OS!

What's new recently?

3.114a

fixed: set selection crashes (also on profile load)
fixed: scanner checksum check was broken for unpacked sets
misc: missing required (not obsolete/ignored) nodumps will lead to a red profile

3.114

added: Logiqx's / NoIntro release/region/language support: Added support for release information in console datafiles. If the datafile contains release information, the user can specify their own region and language preferences. The region and language preferences influence the ZIP names used for merged ROMs. CMPro will choose the most appropriate ZIP names for the user, based on their region and language preferences. Thanks go to Logiqx for the algorithm. De-/Activating regions/languages can be done here: settins->combo box->regions/languages. You can also modify the order there.

added: scanner popupmenu explore -> to either explore/open the belonging rompath or the set itself
added: an ini entry to make f205v and Tauchy happy ;)
misc: moved old option 'decompress rom and test crc32' to compressor settings as decompress files to memory (that's what it actually is)

misc: rebuilder auto-memory option default value is now disabled

misc: updated unrar.dll which fixes crashes with incomplete split rars
misc: updated have/miss list to handle fake clones, nodump-only sets correctly
