Couple of quick questions for you Roman... (these are all done on the latest versions of all programs btw, 1 on WIN11 & 1 on WIN10)

     1st the easy one:
With the new v5 chd's, CMP tells me they need to be upgraded but CMUI doesn't mention it. If I turn on "Check SHA1" will that solve the problem or is it something just not added yet? Sorry, I didn't think about trying that until earlier.)

     2 - Software Lists - MegaCD list - Supposedly megacd, megacdj & segacd were all combined into 1 megacd SL. CMP does this correctly and got rid of the megacdj & segacd folders by combining them into the correct folder. But, CMUI wants all of them in the megacd folder but then also wants the megacdj files in that folder & the segacd files in their folder too. I really don't want 2 copies of all 1.23g just to make my list clean. Any idea if it's something I'm doing wrong, CMUI, or MAME itself?

     3 - This is the strange one.
When I scan with CMUI, not fixing just scanning, I end up with 12 random SL files in my samples folder. I don't have SL on this computer anymore but it's pulling them out of the back up folder. And then when I rescan with remove uneeded file, it won't touch them. Just keeps reporting them as uneeded. I can't even make up a reason as to why this would happen but this is the 3rd version that it's done it. Theories? Next month I'm going to empty out the backup folder and see what happens is my next step unless you or someone else has an idea...

Thanks again for all your hard work!

What do you mean in detail?

If you get a "wrong merged ROM set" message it means that you use full merged sets and have a clone set somewhere which shouldn't be there since in full merge mode, all clone files need to be placed in the parent set and the clone set itself doesn't exist. The parent set isn't moved.

Maybe you need to give a detailed example....and actually I don't understand your 7z file updates comment...

The file handling options for errors such as...
"XXX [folder: YYY - parent: ZZZ - size: VVVkb]
wrong merged ROM set: UUU (merge to: ZZZ)"
...are inappropriate. The base file ZZZ is moved rather than the problematic one YYY.

I'd likely need to deal with this less often if more appropriate support of 7z file updates were provided.

looks good ...check if the rompaths are fine....the input fields are rather small in width but can hold multiple long values which might be hidden

Thanks for the reply.

I will check what you suggested and come back to you.

So far I can confirm:
  'mame\roms' is my classic ROMs folder. (ROMs & CHDs)
  'mame\roms_SL' is my SoftwareList-folder. (SLs only)

  1x ngp.7z machine is in 'mame\roms'.  (No folder ngp there.)
  1x ngp folder is in 'mame\roms_SL'.  (1x .7z per SL item there.)
  1x ngp.7z is in 'mame\roms_SL\vgmplay'.  (plus others like 1941.7z, 1942.7z, etc.)

You can't mix -listsoftware and -listxml collections when it comes to rompaths.

So assuming you start with a -listxml (standard) mame export, you have rompath(s) and somewhere in it, there is the ngp.7z archive. Fine so far, since the -listxml output lists a machine name="ngp" sourcefile="snk/ngp.cpp" entry with a ngp_bios.ngp rom file in it.

When it comes to software lists, "ngp" specifies a softwarelist which contains all kind of NeoGeo Pocket machines.
So here your rompath should point to a folder which has ngp as a subfolder (and of course others like a2600, c64_cart, etc) representing this software list...and inside that ngp subfolder you have the software list entries for that software list.

So actually you should double check your rompath setup (as described above they should point to different paths).
If you like you can also send me your settings.xml and copy/paste the log output.

You can actually check where your ngp.7z is stored.
The softwarelist "vgmplay" does have a npg machine in it...so in a vgmplay subfolder there should be a ngp.7z, nowhere else when it comes to the rompath (and subpaths) connected to the -listsoftware output.

When talking about -listxml: you should have 1 npg.7z in one of your assigned rompaths.
When talking about -listsoftware: your rompath should have a subfolder named ngp but a ngp.7z should only be in a subfolder vgmplay since it's a part of that software list. Maybe you have some copies floating around elsewhere which cause the problem.

This is not the case.
Each SL item is in its own 7z.

My collection was successfully rebuilt/scanned with your old tool.

That's where I started off using the new one.

When we focus on 'ngp'-set:
I just saw that 'ngp.7z' machine is in 'mame\roms'.
While ngp SL-folder is in 'mame\roms_SL'.

Should I move all SL-folders to ROMS and try scanning again?

Another try would be to make 'mame\roms_SL' the ADD-path and start a scan or rebuild into 'mame\roms'.

This sounds a bit like you have compressed all ngp software files into a ngp.7z.
You need a folderstructure like: your_drive:\your_rompath\ngp\ and in that ngp folder you've got the single ngp software list machine, so e.g.
bstars.7z, kof_mlon.7z, etc...(or zip or decompressed).

so for example:
f:\mame\roms\softwarelist (as your one and only rompath which is the
root of the single software list subfolders)
f:\mame\roms\softwarelist\a2600  with
f:\mame\roms\softwarelist\a2600\2pakblac.zip,
f:\mame\roms\softwarelist\a2600\2pakblaca.zip and so on
f:\mame\roms\softwarelist\c64_cart with
f:\mame\roms\softwarelist\c64_cart\4thsarc.zip and so on...
