hmmm..no idea...will check it at home... only thing which changed is that it skips not-active sets now in export... since you got all enabled, this shouldn't play a role..
Maybe your old dat is xml and the new one is old -listinfo format? Send me the 2 dats....
added: missing but fixable chds can get fixed automatically by fix-missing added: append option for rebuilder log misc: redisplay dir2dat window after dat completion to avoid minimizing issues misc: dat export will only export active sets misc: added trimming for subfolder rom/etc defintions

hmm..interesting...as I said, I've scanned MESS .142 data and it was read ok and not listed as unneeded....maybe you had something between .142 and .142u3 where it was not correctly listed
good to hear you solved it... as mentioned, best way for MAME is to directly take the data from the MAME binary....so you're sure you got all included.
well, the the used dat doesn't have any chds or samples listed. double check this. For MAME you should use a direct import ( profiler-> create ) and not a 3rd party dat which may left out samples and chds.
unneeded is not necessarily a not listed file. if the hash doesn't match, it can be rated as unneeded too. so please check your file's hash and compare it with the one from mess. if you still think somethings spooky, send me the files and I will have a deeper look at it later this week.
