Hi Roman:

It looks like there may be an issue with software list CHDs under sgi_mips.

It seems the scanner wishes to merge netbsd_2_0 with netbsd_2_0_2 and both folders have 2 CHDs with the same names.

The roms from pleasure dome for netbsd_2_0_2 have the two from netbsd_2_0 but have appended what looks like hash strings to the filename to distinguish.  The scanner wants to rename them to the same names as the other two (sgimipscd.chd and sourcecd.chd), which will not work.

I have tried to allow the scanner to rename the two with hash strings, but then it reports the other two missing with the same names.  If you start with the other two first, it then wants the CHDs with the hash strings, but of the same name.  Seems to be a looping issue and that you cannot have two files with the same name in the same folder.

Hmm...yep, that's a problem.
Since we talk about uncompressed chds, you can't turn on the hashcollision mode (new scanner/rebuilder would do that automatically) which would use subfolders for each clone in a full merged environment. Why? Because MAME does not load decompressed files in subfolders, otherwise it would work.

Either use split merged mode or report this to MAME developers so it gets somehow fixed.

In the meantime I think about something which may be possible as a workaround.



I've reported it in the MAME discord tester channel already...
