Hi Roman,

Thank you for your earlier post to my previous post on the question of sets.

I have now done a scan of my mame 133b roms using sets and roms option in ClrMamePro.

Using just the Roms scan, I have all the roms, but when using roms and sets scan together, I have a number of sets missing.

Example of scan results using roms and sets options enabled:

beatmania IIDX (863 JAA) [system: Twinkle System - folder: bmiidx - size: 1mb]
missing set: beatmania IIDX (863 JAA)
Chaos Heat (V2.09O) [system: Taito GNET - folder: chaoshea - size: 5mb]
missing set: Chaos Heat (V2.09O)
Chaos Heat (V2.08J) [system: Taito GNET - folder: chaoshej - parent: chaoshea - size: 5mb]
missing set: Chaos Heat (V2.08J)
Candy Puzzle (v1.0) [system: Amiga CD32 Bios - folder: cndypuzl - size: 1mb]
missing set: Candy Puzzle (v1.0)

missing set: RC De Go (V2.03J)
Harem Challenge [system: Amiga CD32 Bios - folder: haremchl - size: 1mb]
missing set: Harem Challenge


I have my roms merged.

The question I have is:

I want to collect the missing sets I have above. How do I go about it?

The reason I ask is that I have a mame roms 133b torrent (which I used to collect all my missing roms which are now up to date), and none of the missing sets above are in the torrent. So if the above missing sets are not in torrent, how do I go about collecting the missing sets? Are the missing sets required to have the game working?

You help is kindly appreciated.

Thanks,

Dariusz

clrmamepro is absolutely right in reporting these sets as missing.

These sets are chd-only sets, i.e. they don't have roms (so of course a rom scan doesn't show any missing roms).

Since you're scanning for missing sets and don't have the sets, clrmamepro reports them correctly as missing.
If you'd enable the chd scan, too, you'd also get missing chd messages.

Keep in mind: a Set is a collection of roms and/or chds and/or samples.

For these chd-only sets you need the chd.

However you can fool cmpro's set check by simply creating rompath subfolders for the chds in question. A missing chd scan will still report the missing chds of course.
