Title: datfile problem - double rom?
Post by: gwent on 29 December 2009, 18:01
I'm using the latest version of clrmamepro, and used it to scan the 135u4 version of MAMEUI32. It then popped up a box with the following info:

Set:   Trivia ? Whiz (Edition 3 - Horizontal) (set 1)
Name:   trvwz3h
ROM:   gen-002_02

Issue:   Double ROM with different hashvalues found

Keep ROM but rename it?
Otherwise it'll be removed from the set definition.


So what is the appropriate thing to do here? Should I click yes to rename it or no to remove from the set definition? Does anybody know why this would happen?

This is already corrected in MAME's SVN (for release in 0.136).  Accepting YES will not hurt your collection - CLRMAMEPRO will only rename those particular files to something different so they can co-exist in the same ZIP file.  MAME itself does not care what a filename inside a ZIP is, only that they match the expected crc/hash values.  When you run 0.136 against the changed sets - CMP will simply rename them to MAME defaults, which are now not-conflicting.
