I was asked by a friend id there was a chance to get a DAT for cmpro to check if he had all the snapshots of and OLD MAME version, no matter where they come from (no size/crc/sha1 check...) I decided to make a parser for -listinfo, generating this output::

game (
name snap
description "snap"
rom ( name puckman.png )
rom ( name puckmana.png )
rom ( name pacman.png )
............
)

It does not work. Fails to import the "roms".... Where am I wrong?
Sorry for the n00b question, but hell, I'M a NOOB! :-P

Rom statements need at least a name and crc entry. Size can be set to "-". crc can be set to 0 and you can use "flags nodump"...but then you need a valid size entry.

Use Logiqx's tool ImgChk (available at his site) to check if images are missing.
