I really do not understand why I had the sets checked and confirmed... anyway now I have solved the problem with ROMVault, but I have to say that ClrMame is much better... perhaps I will parse the "SuperDAT" to change to a "standard DAT"...

Well... I have to be true and I am not 100% sure about what a SuperDAT is... I am discovering the changes between a DAT and a SuperDAT in these days.
My idea is that a SuperDAT is similar to a collection of DAT... i.e., if you want to check multiple ROMset in multiple directories you can create "this" SuperDAT including the subdirectories with the "language" you have seen above.
I have discovered that "this" SuperDAT is compatible with ROMVault and everything is ok now... but I am 99% sure that last Xmas they worked also with ClrMAME. I had simply a 100% check result with the same files in the same directory... nothing changes. When I made a new check I lost the 100% compliance and I discovered this difference...

Anyway thanx for the help.

Thanks to your hint I should have understood...
I am trying to use a SuperDAT and not a standard DAT. And I have read around the Net that ClrMAME is not compatible with SuperDAT, right?

I supposed so but I do not understand what's happening (and I had old good checks while now I have wrong ones).
From the report I read:
[BIOS] PC-6001 (60) (NEC)-[BIOS] PC-6001 (60) [ROM] [folder: [BIOS] PC-6001 (60) (NEC)-[BIOS] PC-6001 (60) [ROM] - size: 20kb]
missing set: [BIOS] PC-6001 (60) (NEC)-[BIOS] PC-6001 (60) [ROM]
"The internal ROMs are not important for my problem..."

While in the datfile I read:
<game name="[BIOS] PC-6001 (60) (NEC)\[BIOS] PC-6001 (60) [ROM]">
   <description></description>
   <rom name="BASICROM.60" size="16384" crc="54c03109" md5="2a13a60acf99a659144655b6c9e39b92" sha1="c622fefda3cdc2b87a270138f24c05828b5c41d2"/>
   <rom name="CGROM60.60" size="4096" crc="b0142d32" md5="9153f89e83f94f5d1cfe0a4e75d03372" sha1="9570495b10af5b1785802681be94b0ea216a1e26"/>
</game>

I am missing something?

Thank you

clrmame Discussion / ClrMAME and ROMs in directories.

Hi to All,
I am referring to NeoKobe ROMs, that have a structure like [DIR ROMname]\[ROMcompressed files].
I cannot remember in which ClrMAME version but in the past everything was ok and ClrMAME was able to check all the files in the right directories.
Now it does not work anymore! ClrMAME now wants all the files in the root directory... with filenames like [DIR ROMname]-[ROMcompressed files].
Please notice the "-" instead than the "\".
Can anybody help? There is the possibility for ClrMAME to work the "right way"?
Thank you
