clrmame Discussion / Re: Merging a Fullset with a Parent-Clone dat. Scan? Merger? Rebuilder?

Well...merging is possible (actually with scanner, rebuilder and merger)....but of course the used datfile has to support it. The datfile defines parent/clone relationsships. So first look for you would be the datfile...if it doesn't hold any parent/clone relationship tags ("cloneof"), then you simply can't merge sets.
If the datfile is organized in a way that merging is possible, you can simply change the scanner's merge mode and scan/fix to get the set merged.....by the way, the scanner's merge mode is a good thing to look at...if split or full merged is greyed out, the datfile doesn't have any parent/clone relationships defined.
