ah great! i was missing "destination has to be old" part =) too bad i screwed up my 0.95 collection atm, some roms are missing, so i have to wait till i get home to copy it from dvds (0 missing roms, 0 missing chds, WIEEE :D), and try this stuff! would be 0 missing samples aswell, but i dont think thats possible atm :)
