clrmame Discussion / Possible bug

This may be a bug. I noticed with the option "Remove Extension" checked when using Dir2Dat that game names with a dot in them get truncated in their <game name> and <description>.
For example:
<game name="PC Engine Fan - Special CD-ROM^2 Vol. 1 (Japan)">
<description>PC Engine Fan - Special CD-ROM^2 Vol. 1 (Japan)</description>
<game name="Buster Bros. (Japan)">
<description>Buster Bros. (Japan)</description>
becomes:
<game name="PC Engine Fan - Special CD-ROM^2 Vol">
<description>PC Engine Fan - Special CD-ROM^2 Vol</description>
<game name="Buster Bros">
<description>Buster Bros</description>
With that option unticked everything comes out correctly. I'm using the nightly build. Rom names are okay.
Also, are there any good modern guides that go into depth about the cmpro.ini file and the advanced and pro settings in it? I figured out Adv_SetElementXML = machine when changed to "game" changes the <machine name> tag to <game name>. Using google I just find old stuff.
