Hi
What about fixing the usual warnings we get when creating a DAT from a MAME exe ? Is this "problem" related to MAME gamelist output or clrmame ?

They are "issues" in the datfile which is created by calling mame -listinfo. You can hide them (ClrMamePro will automatically fix them internally then) by setting Settings->DatFile Errors ->Hide Common.

For MAME ClrMamePro currently complains about:

a) set x is 100% identical to set y

This simply means that a set y with a different name than x contains the same roms. Not more, not less roms. The sets are identical and you don't really need these dupes.

b) Merging between different systems.

I don't like the idea of having a parent/clone relationship of sets which uses different systems. Like making a neogeo game the clone of a konami game, etc. There are several CVS sets which have such relationships with "standard" romsets. ClrMamePro can remove the parent/clone relationship.

c) "set x includes at least one nodump..."
well..it's about a set has a 0-crc (nodump) while a clone of it has a correctly set crc for it. To avoid keeping a dummy file -which may even replace the good one when you merge sets- ClrMamePro can use that found correct crc instead of the 0-crc.
