On my little mame collection i have a lot (about 6 o 7 files) need the .chd files.
As these roms are parts of all games "NOT WORKING" (for bad dumps or similar) I decided not to use the file for conserve a lot of HDD space.
So every scanner i see this romset appears on scanner result......... my question it's i can exclude this specific file in some mode ??
*EDIT*
for the record i need to exclude this file:
mtchxl5k
mtchxl5ko
mtchxl5ko2
mtchxlgld
mtchxlgldo
mtchxlti
pesta
It's possible ?

you're talking about sets, not roms.
Sets can be enabled/disabled in Scanner->Scan Results->Set Information (button bottom left)
Single roms of a set can only be removed on datfile level.

lol sorry me confusion but yeah i always made a lot of confusion on my head when i need to to distinguish this....
so if i want to disable these singles roms from scanning i can made a copy of current dat (0.241) and modify that deleting that entries ?
is it simple to do this? I need to obtain the xml from official mame.exe or i can modify the dat actually i have on my clrmamepro ? if so, where do I locate it ? I have tryed to look inside datfile and there's a file called mame.dat but it's not the file i need.
Inside cache folder i have two files.. one it's about 60MB but i can't edit whit notepad++.......
*EDIT*
apparently clrmamepro has a similar function... but you get exactly the opposite of what I would like to do.
I try this:
1 - I have saved this 7 roms name in a text file called toexclude.txt
2 - Open "Set Information" from Scanner and use the function "From File"
When i click on LOAD this specific 7 roms are be selected correctly :)
But apparently there's no way to do the "reverse operation" for example when after you use "Select All" and deselect some roms from same file.
I have tryed to:
1- Use "Select All"
2- Use "From File" and click "Unload"... no work ...

Again...mtchxl5k, mtchxl5ko, mtchxl5ko2 etc are sets, not roms...
so simply go to scanner->scan results -> set information
Enter "mtchxl5k;mtchxl5ko;....." (semicolon separated) in Select Sets
hit Apply
hit Invert
and tick "initial invert"
You only need to modify the dat if you want to exclude ROMS, not SETS.

And i say i have a lot of confusion....... ok it's sets.
Now.. From "Set Information" i do this:
1 - Click "Select None"
2 - On "Select Sets" i have put this string "mtchxl5k;mtchxl5ko;mtchxl5ko2;mtchxlgld;mtchxlgldo;mtchxlti;pesta" (whitout "")
3 - Click on "Apply" and only this sets are correctly selected.
At this point if i click on "Invert" i can do a "All Sets" Scanner whitout this sets...... ok.. this is ok.
But it's possible to obtain a similar result but starting from "Avail. Sets" enabled (or using only the "Avail. Sets" selected) ? You have some suggestion ?
I have tryed to click on "Avail. Sets" -> "Apply" no good (ever whit same string inserted on "Select Sets").
Click on "Avail. Sets" -> Tick "Initial Invert" no good.

"Available Sets" is just a one time action. So it looks in your rompaths for matching setnames and enbles the found ones. The others are disabled....
So...it won't help you. "Initial invert" simply means that your selection from "Select sets" is inverted on program start (so you don't need to click invert on every start). But you can also simply keep "select sets" empty, hit available sets once and then tick the checkboxes before the setname to enable/disable them.
So....to enable/disable sets you can:
- pick them yourself (Avail/Select all/select none/ single tick the checkboxes before the setnames)
or
- use a setname list from a file
or
- use select sets input field (which offers all kind of variables, regex, etc) + apply
"On my little mame collection i have a lot (about 6 o 7 files) need the .chd files."
......or you modify the datfile and remove the disk entries...or you untick the chd option in the scanner...etc...etc....

Hello,
I want to bring up this topic again to ask if there are plans to add this option in a future version of clrmamepro.
