Hi All,

I just upgraded my MAME (Arcade Only) ROMs to 0.182 (from 0.177) and everything was fine on my Son's desktop (latest version clrmamepro & Win 10) except for a few missing CHDs and a couple of missing ROMs. I then moved to my laptop (latest version clrmamepro & Win 10) as I store all my ROMs on an external HD and clrmamepro is now telling me that I have over 6800 incorrectly named ROMs?? The only real difference between the desktop and the laptop is the Drive Letter when I plug in the external HD (F on desktop, S on Laptop).

Below is an excerpt from the scan on my laptop:

Does anyone have any idea what the problem might be??

Thanks in advance

PS: I'm also using the latest DAT file from progetto-SNAPS

Most likely a difference in profiler->options->parse rom 'merge' tags. One installation got it enabled, one disabled.

If you want to enable/disable it is your personal choice/taste. If enabled, you don't care about byte-identical roms in clones (compared to the parent) with a different name in the clone. You will gain some free space.
If you like accuracy and want to keep the original clone naming you disable the option (but that means you have some byte identical files in the parent/clone relationship).

That was it

Thanks for your help.
