clrmame Discussion / Re: Validating samples in clones

well...it's pretty easy to see....open scanner->scan results->setinformation and click on the (clone) sets...then you see if samples are listed there or not.
Either way, for sample sets it's not so important.
For roms, you either prefer full merged or split merged sets. So in split merge mode, you got a clone set with the roms which differ from the parent. In case of roms, this is pretty typical...different regions, different sprites, blablalbal... but for samples it's not. You usually don't have samples which only belong to one specific clone, so you don't really have "split" sample sets.
....and for emulator use it doesn't play a role either since e.g. MAME simply looks everywhere for the files it needs.
