I bet these were the ones related to the parent/clone merge bug which was fixed. In combined mode it did detect parent/clone relationships between sets though but the actual parent files in the clone sets weren't marked as belonging to the parent...so you had the dupes in there which now got removed.

I just tested the new build and it deleted many roms inside romsets, mainly neogeo roms, for almost a gigabyte of data. No more pippin romset issue, too.

Thank you!

That should detect things like triple1 etc plus there was a problem with parent/clonerelationships in software list roms/chds in combined mode.
I wasn't able to repeat your pippin messages. Let me know if you still experience them.

....and I will try to make the "(move to a rompath)" more informative or fixable as soon as I find a little time

Thank you for your hard work.

If it can help I found another software list which is wrongly intrepeted: some "pippin" chds are marked as in wrong rompath but they are in the right place:

misplaced romset: \pippin\aishogi (move to a rompath)
misplaced romset: \pippin\catalog (move to a rompath)
misplaced romset: \pippin\chisatom (move to a rompath)
misplaced romset: \pippin\circus (move to a rompath)
misplaced romset: \pippin\compton (move to a rompath)
misplaced romset: \pippin\gadget (move to a rompath)
misplaced romset: \pippin\lzone (move to a rompath)
misplaced romset: \pippin\music1 (move to a rompath)
misplaced romset: \pippin\sdgundam (move to a rompath)
misplaced romset: \pippin\shockwav (move to a rompath)
misplaced romset: \pippin\supermar (move to a rompath)
misplaced romset: \pippin\tamagotc (move to a rompath)
misplaced romset: \pippin\thomas (move to a rompath)
misplaced romset: \pippin\ultraman (move to a rompath)

yes, I'm aware of that (thanks anyway) and working on it

Ok thanks, I just rescanned with nightly and deleted the highlighted files from the romsets. Scanned ended without errors but I noticed that there are some roms inside romsets that still will be manteined and doesn't give any warning.
For example, I get warning aboute "triple7" romset inside electron_cass software list, but got no warning for triple1, triple2 etc... which are included (wrongly) inside the romset (only triple8 is in the right place, the others need to stay inside bbc_cass software list). So I suppose that there are still some sets which is not recognized as wrong.

Yeah and in that mode earlier cmpro versions did oversee some misplaced sets which is now fixed.
Guess I need to improve the failure message a bit.

and I think your "full software list mode" is my "combined mode", i.e. you have only one profile for MAME and all/subset of its software lists and not one profile per softwarelist, am I right?

You're right: one profile and multiple rom paths setted in.

But as you can check by looking at MAME's hash folder, the electron_cass does not have such sets listed. They belonge to "electron_flop" (and others)

So...they don't belong there and cmpro is right

and I think your "full software list mode" is my "combined mode", i.e. you have only one profile for MAME and all/subset of its software lists and not one profile per softwarelist, am I right?

Just ended to scan my romset with stable version with no problems.
I use full software list mode, not combined. If I rebuild the software list with rebuilder it will add the romsets highlighted with the error.
It refers to many romsets inside "electron_cass" software list, one romset inside "g7400" software list and one inside "ibm5150" softwarelist.

This is a partial list of the highlighted sets inside "electron_cass":
