While testing rebuilder/scanner the following drove me nuts...updating mame.ini with the generated paths from the upper mentioned methods didn't work. "MAME -rompath f:\mame\roms\#default pacman" did work, but adding "f:\mame\roms\#default" to mame.ini failed....so I wondered why...and oh man...feeling stupid......having a "#" as some prefix in a rompath is not a good idea for usage in an ini file. It simply takes the rest of the line as comment :-)

So your rebuilder settings.xml should use either your own values or the following new defaults (without the #)

      <TypeNames>
         <Bios>bios</Bios>
         <Mechanical>mechanical</Mechanical>
         <Default>default</Default>
         <Device>device</Device>
         <BiosSplit>bios_</BiosSplit>
      </TypeNames>

Will be updated for next release.....
