I have the Hyper Street Fighter Anniversary edition romset which worked for MAME v 0.148. Computer virus issues(I was forced to restore my pc to factory settings) prevented me from using MAME up until the current version. HSF2:AE no longer works because of one missing file. I notice on the scan list there are drivers listed for different arcade board. HSF2: AE ran on CPS2, but I don't see the corresponding driver listed. That's what I meant by not seeing certain drivers in the list.
The other point you touched on is the fact that a romset might be complete, but not working yet. The game in question is in fact listed as working and its required files accounted for, but it still won't work.
When I do my rebuilds(I now know it's best to scan and fix first) I make the source folder the folder where the original roms are kept(same as the rom directory path which I set for MAME). I created a new folder for the destination where rebuilt roms are output to. This allows me to keep track of where the old and new versions of the roms are. It most likely is amateurish and redundant, so I am open to any alternate suggestions which make more sense.
The idea of rebuilding first comes from me not knowing what the hell I'm doing and still being in the clrmamepro learning process lol You provided me useful information to go apply and see what difference that makes toward correcting my non working romsets.
