Hey, got everything done.  In the end, the easiest approach was to do a  rebuild with 0137 as the source and a new 084 directory as the target, then a second rebuild with the rollback set as the source and the 084 set as the target.  0 missing roms, 0 problems and 1 happy arcade cab.

Cheers!

I'll check exactly what I did last night, but with a MAME rom dir and a rollback rom directory specified in the settings->addpaths rather than drag-n-drop, 0 files got processed by the rebuilder. Sounds like the drag-n-drop is exactly what I want.

Again, thanks for your support!

Okay, I'm not at home, but I think my problem was that the rebuilder didn't like the rollback roms in the settings->addpaths option, as there were only the rollback sets and no traditional roms in there.  I think drag'n'drop is probably what I should do.  I'm also pretty sure that it's recompressing (and also doing the sha1 test) which explains the slowness.

Does the subfolders scan follow shortcuts/symlinks btw?

Thanks for the super-fast response.  I really appreciate you making this tool and providing support like this.

I think I've done a weird setup.  I also didn't know about the drag-and-drop.  I'd set the 0137 and rollback directories in the settings window (as rebuilder only lets me directly set a single directory).

The computer is a 800mhz Athalon (hence why I'm going for an older MAME!).  I also think I'm recompressing all the files, so that'd be a huge process requirement.  I'll probably nuke the whole lot and start again properly tonight.

Hi, I'm trying to use ClrMamePro to rollback a 0.137 set to 0.84 (I've got an arcade cab that I'm MAMEing up with a ropey older PC).  I've got the full 0.137 set of roms and the set of rollback roms too.  I've also got a 0.84 datfile (and I can also build a profile from the 0.84 MAME).  However: I'm a bit unsure as to how to get the rebuilder working best. 

I've got two directories - one with the 0.137 roms and another with the rollback set in.  I've set the rebuilder to have two source directories: however, in this configuration it throws an error because the rollback directory doesn't have any roms in.  When I selected rebuild it didn't do anything.

I've tried a bodge and put a shortcut/symlink of the rollback roms directory into the 0137 roms directory, then selected rebuild and it's doing - something.  It'll take a long while (50% in after 12 hours).

A couple of questions:

1) Is what I'm doing completely wrong?
= Do I have to run the rebuilder with full and rollback in two steps or one
= Do I run the rebuilder on the 0137 roms and then scan and fix with the rollback set?

2) What's the error about the rollback rom set?  Why does it not run any rebuild at all with a directory that apparently contains no MAME roms, just rollback sets?  Have I screwed up here too?

Many thanks, in advance for anyone that can help my hamfisted flailing.
