I'm having a bit of trouble, and I'm hoping someone can tell me what I'm doing wrong.

I've got Windows XP running in a virtual machine, with the host being a Linux machine. I've got all my ROMs set up through a network share, and I've made sure I can create and delete things manually from inside the guest machine. However, just running a standard check will not identify unneeded files, and thus, will not remove them. Is there something obvious I'm overlooking?

[Roman]

Got "sets" + "unneeded" enabled?

[TheDue]

Sure do 

[Roman]

well, can't you somehow test if it works with a non-network drive?
And let me know more details...e.g. what is used as rompath....some screenshots...etc..etc...

[TheDue]

When I pull a few test ROMs into the Guest Machine (i.e. not a network drive), it still does not mark the files as unneeded. Give me a few minutes, and I'll post screenshots of all my settings.

[TheDue]

Alright, let's give this a shot:

[Roman]

Hmm...no screenshot of the scan results tree output window...(screw stats....)
and show me what you got in your rompath....(also you disabled some sets...this does not make them unneeeded)

[TheDue]

Ah, well there's the misunderstanding right there! I thought that by disabling those sets I could make them unneeded. If altering the set information doesn't make them unneeded, is there another way to accomplish this?

Essentially, I'm trying to create a US only romset. No-Intro allows me to parse via country, but Redump doesn't, so I was attempting to use clrmamepro to clean all the other crap out

[Roman]

Makes me thinking of an option to optionally mark them as unneeded....
however, for now you can rebuild the sets to a new place to clean them...
...or check what the datfile export from the set-information screen exports...maybe it excludes the non-active sets and you have a filtered dat which then can be used to remove the unneeded ones (then they are unneeded).
Can't check the source at the moment....

Makes me thinking of an option to optionally mark them as unneeded....

It would make me very happy if you would consider this in the near future. Thank you for the awesome program and the quick & attentive help!

EDIT: BTW, I just tried to export a dat, and it included all the other countries :\

[Roman]

yep....next version will have an scanner advanced option to keep disabled sets as unneeded....
