> As I said: there is no real reason to disable clones.
i don't have any of them and clrmame keeps boring me with them
how do i know if i miss clone roms/romsets or parents roms/romsets quickly?
how do i know if in a new mame a parent became a clone (i.e. kof98 in 0.72)???
how to view the romsets i have in the scanner results instead of only the problematic ones?
tell me, clrmame is for those who collect all roms or what?
because mame32 is the best manager even if you have to do all the changes manually: it provides all missing roms/romsets, disable unavailable clones romsets
it only needs a missing roms/romsets folder but i think you can add it in the source, and it doesn't list roms information in non-missing romsets (annoying to remove a clone that is merged in a parent romset)

and i did't said clrmame is complex but romcenter is more easy :)

ps: i know clrmame isn't only for mame rom managing
