Outdated Serum colorization cache

Technical code : SERUM_CACHE_OUTDATED

What it means

This ROM's Serum colorization cache is in an old format that libserum 2.5.0 and later reject.

Why it happens

libserum 2.5.0 (DMD Extensions 2.4 and later) rejects a .cROMc cache of format below 5 and regenerates it if the .cRZ or .cROM source file is in the same folder. Pincab Toolbox can set the old cache aside without deleting it. If the loaded libserum version is unknown, this finding is only a note.

How Pincab Toolbox detects it

The free scanner checks the following:

The .cROMc file in the ROM's altcolor folder starts with CROM and its format number (2 bytes) is below 5. The scan moved nothing.

Automatic repair

Repair, included in the Pincab Toolbox licence, can fix this one for you. Your files are backed up first, and the fix can be undone. €3.99, one purchase. Run the free scan first: it confirms this is really your case.
