Awesome.  Thanks for looking into it and figuring it out, Roman.

Sure.  You can download the datfile 7z from this URL: https://www.mameguide.info/MAME_(20220525).7z

I'm using "MAME - ROMs (v0.244_XML).dat" inside of that archive.

Regarding your proposed scenario, the "dinokich" set is almost exactly the same.  It has a unique CHD that is distinct from its parent/clone "dinoki25".  There is no dinokich.zip file nor is there a dinokich folder, but clrmamepro does not list this set as missing.  I think this rules out what you've suggested, but thanks for thinking about it.

I'd tried something similar in the past: copying the contents of loverber3.zip and segasp.zip into loveber3cn.zip and letting clrmamepro sort it out to no avail.  Anyway, I tried it again just now and clrmamepro removed the contents of loveber3cn.zip which, ultimately, led to clrmamepro deleting loverber3cn.zip entirely.  On the subsequent scan clrmamepro showed the same result as before--the "loveber3cn" set is missing.

The only conclusion I can draw without additional logging is that there's a hard-coded exemption in clrmamepro for the loveber3cn set or something similar, but this seems unlikely.  I believe this issue originated around the release of MAME 0.216 (if you google "loveber3cn emulab" w/o quotes there's a forum result listing the release in the third result) which was released November 2019.

Actually, I take back what I said earlier.  Since the dat file I'm using is ROMs-only and doesn't include any CHD information, how would clrmamepro know that the CHD (and hence the set) is missing in the first place?

edit: I'm positive there isn't a "dinokich" subfolder in my ROM-path.

[xyz@server all]$ find ./ -name "dinokich" -print0
[xyz@server all]$

Sorry, I should have clarified that I don't have any CHDs for any sets.

So what you said makes sense, but I don't understand why loveber3cn is the only set with a missing CHD shown as missing.  I don't have any CHDs and no other set is marked as missing.  For example, the "dinokich" set also consists of just its parent game "dinoki25", the segasp BIOS, and its own unique CHD file that I do not have.  However, that set is not marked as missing when I perform a scan.

Hello,

clrmamepro version: 4.044d
DAT file Source: ARMAX MAME Dats 0.244 | https://www.mameguide.info/MAME_(20220525).7z
DAT file: MAME - ROMs (v0.244_XML).dat
Missing Set: loveber3cn
Scan Options: <see scan_options.png attachment>
Scan Results: <see scan_results.png attachment>
segasp.zip Contents CRC: <see segasp.png>
loveber3.zip Contents CRC: <see loveber3.png>

This isn't really a big deal, but I've been trying to figure out over the past few years why the "loveber3cn" set is listed as missing in my scans.  I found a similar thread (https://www.emulab.it/forum/index.php?topic=4395) which alludes to this being fixed, but haven't seen it working in my case with the latest releases.

I understand the "loveber3cn" set requires the CHD, "segasp" BIOS, and the "loveber3" game as its parent.  However, I have CHDs unchecked, the "segasp" BIOS, and the "loveber3" ZIP available; so the set should be skipped instead of marked as missing.  From my understanding of the datfile, the "loveber3cn" set (without CHD) is just a merger of multiple files from both the parent game and BIOS, so there shouldn't be anything listed as missing since all the files (w/correct checksums) are in either segasp.zip or loveber3.zip (see segasp.zip and loveber3.zip attachments).

An example of a similar set that isn't listed as missing is "dinokich" which also merges all of its files from its parent "dinoki25" and the "segasp" BIOS.

Is there anything I'm missing?
