clrmame Discussion / Need help adding all parent roms to collection
« on: 09 December 2016, 21:00 »
Hello, sorry, I'm very new to MAME roms, I seem to be a little lost on how to remedy my current problem. I had collected a .078 complete SPLIT romset, and didn't realize that it was a split set. I painstakingly moved all of the roms that I wanted into a separate "favorites" folder on my hard drive. Next I loaded my favorites into lr-mame2003 and noticed games were not working. I quickly realized that my romset was a split set, and that I was missing the parents for them. Instead of looking up every single parent required for each clone in my favorites, and moving them individually over, is there an easy way of taking all of the roms in my favorites folder, and make them all non-merged, so that I don't have to deal with the separate parent/clone dependencies. I can't seem to figure it out in clrmamepro. P.S., I have the .078 non-merged .dat file. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
