Let me try to understand here. So you are scanning roms and a game pops up but it has missing or bad roms in the zip file, a Red X next to the name.

But when you hit the "Miss List" button it doesn't show that game in the list cause in reality you have it but some roms are bad.

But you also don't want to save it as a "Log" file cause now there is to much info there cause it list the game AND the missing/bad roms. Editing it would take to long for you.

So you just want an option where if you have the game BUT there could be missing/bad roms you want to list this as a "Miss List" game?

Like if I took out some Roms from Donkey Kong. It will tell me what Roms I am missing. But if I hit the "Miss List" that game won't show....

You are missing 0 of 4032 known Mame 0.71 sets (+ BIOS sets)


But if I make a log then it makes this....

Donkey Kong (Japan set 2) [folder: dkongjo - parent: dkong]
missing rom: c_5f_b.bin [size: 4096] [CRC32: 0x424f2b11] [SHA1: e4f096f2bbd37281f42a5f8e083738f55c07f3dd] [MD5: -]

Donkey Kong (Japan set 3) (bad dump?) [folder: dkongjo1 - parent: dkong]
missing rom: c_5f_b.bin [size: 4096] [CRC32: 0x424f2b11] [SHA1: e4f096f2bbd37281f42a5f8e083738f55c07f3dd] [MD5: -]

Donkey Kong (Japan set 1) [folder: dkongjp - parent: dkong]

Donkey Kong (US set 2) [folder: dkongo - parent: dkong]
missing rom: c_5f_b.bin [size: 4096] [CRC32: 0x424f2b11] [SHA1: e4f096f2bbd37281f42a5f8e083738f55c07f3dd] [MD5: -]

As you can see it shows the games that are bad and need fixing. But you don't want this you just want the list of the bad game.


So instead you want it to list it like this in the "Miss List"???

Donkey Kong (US set 1)
Donkey Kong (Japan set 2)
Donkey Kong (Japan set 3) (bad dump?)
Donkey Kong (Japan set 1)
Donkey Kong (US set 2)

Don't think Roman is going to go through the trouble to make a list of missing/bad roms with just game names. At least if he does it is the very last on his list.

I sugest either manually edit it, make your own parsing program to create what you want, or use Excel to modify the log file, was pretty easy on my end. I just Delimited with a "[" and deleted a chunk of it. Then just deleted the rows inbetween each game.
