clrmame Discussion / Re: What's wrong with these roms ?

Could I get other problems instead if turning off this option ?

Hmmmm. But that's the way how Mame works and I thought clrmamepro wants to fit on MAMEs behaviour.
If Mame works fine this way but clrmamepro deletes or changes wrong files I see the fault definitely at clrmamepro.
Anyway the use of different files names for split and merge is totally strange, isn't it.

Ok, but for me Mame works fine, clrmamepro is deciding wrong imo and makes wrong changings.
Would be great to get a fix in the next release

Should I report that somewhere to improve the MAME loading mechanism?

Ah, ok, now i'm smarter:
If I zip the not-chd-files (as you recommended) it works:
But I prefer for CHD games to put all files unzipped in one rom folder together with the CHD file. Of course for normal romsets I use zips.
And it works (for me, Mame and clrmamepro) without zip for ALL OTHER CHD games, why not in these 3 cases ?
So there is a mistake somewhere, a bad handling.

folders:
batch:
command results:
You see in my pictures that I already used this commands. (Only difference with only using mame.exe is the plugin error.)
As you can clearly see that Mame finds both sets, bm4thmix + bs4thmix.
When trying to run bs4thmix Mame checks both romsets (!) but misses the 847kaa03-06 files, no other files are listed as missing, so bm4thmix is complete (as shown in the lines above anyway).
And the left pic shows the win explorer showing the folders with the files.
So there you can see that I don't use zips but only for romsets including a chd-file because having a folder anyway and files belonging to the chd-romset are always small.
It works like this for ALL other CHD romsets.

« on: 14 October 2021, 16:54 »it should look like (assuming you use zip files)
<your_rompath>\bs4thmix\847kaa01.chd
<your_rompath>\bm4thmix\847jaa11.chd
<your_rompath>\bs4thmix.zip with
847kaa01.6a
847kaa02.8a
847kaa07.22d
847kaa08.23d
847kaa09.25d
847kaa10.27d
<your_rompath>\bm4thmix.zip with
847jaa01.6a
847jaa02.8a
847jaa03.19a
847jaa04.20a
847jaa05.22a
847jaa06.24a
847jab07.22d
847jab08.23d
847jab09.25d
847jab10.27d
This is working in official MAME.
No, like this it doesn't work !!!
For testing I 've used the official mame.exe from here: https://www.mamedev.org/release.html
I use mame.ini, Mame finds bm4thmix + bs4thmix ,
but even with complete bm4thmix romset it's missing the 874kaa... files for bs4thmix !!!!!
See:
It ONLY works with the official mame.exe, if I add the 874kaa03-06 to bm4thmix or bs4thmix.
Then all works fine with ArcadeMame and OfficialMame, but clrmamepro doesn't like it.
All other beatmania clone and other roms work, these 3 are the only ones that don't.
So it's seem to be a Mame mistake.

OK. First BIG thanks for your effort.
I'm not sure if I understand correct.
So I have to turn of the parse ROM 'merge' option to make clrmamepro work correct for me?
bs4thmix doesn't work with missing these 4 847kaa... files, even with the complete partent bm4thmix,
just tried it with the original mame.exe:
The thing is the roms with with the needed files, but clrmamepro wants to change /delete needed files.
Never had such a problem for all the many years

Hello
I use the Arcade version for Mame (Link), new version 0.236 + clrmamepro 4.043 x64.
I have a problem with the following roms, since 3 or 4 Mame versions:
bm4thmix (parent) / bs4thmix (clone)
bmcompmx (parent) / bmcmxaac (clone)
wg3dh (parent) / wg3dhfe (clone)
The clones are always missing some files.
But they are incluced in the parents. But with different names, CRC is the same.
Instead of finding and renaming the needed files, clrmamepro is renaming the needed files with wrong name to the already existing ones.
So where is the mistake? Is Mame giving wrong infos? Or is clrmamepro making something wrong?
example 1:
You see, bs4thmix wants the files named 847kaa... , but clrmamepro wants to rename these files.
Best would be if bs4thmix would just use the parent files (bm4thmix) named 847jaa... , which are the same files just with a different name.
