1) area51 -> this is a mame bug, wait for u10/.82
2) trally -> Clrmamepro uses all data which the mame.exe exports or you got in a datfile. If trally is marked as unneeded, it's unneeded. Always trust clrmame over any mame audit. The mentioned files are needed though, so either you're using a wrong datfile or the files you've downloaded are the wrong ones (don't match crc32). There were a lot neogeo c-file changes lately. Be sure you always scan with all check options enabled and be sure at least checksum->crc32 is enabled.
