> how do i know if i miss clone roms/romsets or parents roms/romsets quickly?

The detailed scanner output shows all you need. Or do a quick save misslist. Not as accurate as a real scan, but some people like it. Besides a full scan is fast, too.

ClrMamePro shows this in the detailed scanner output.

There is no need for that. Besides the output depends on the chosen settings. You can't really say a set is 100% ok if you only scan for (e.g.) missing roms. There can be no missing roms while there are dozens of wrong named ones or unneeded files.


> tell me, clrmame is for those who collect all roms or what?

Most people DO collect all roms. Besides you can easily scan only the files you have. Settings->Sets->Avail.Games

MAME32 isn't a manager. MAME32 is a win32 port of MAME with an included GUI.


> it only needs a missing roms/romsets folder but i think you can add it in the

MAME's audit functions are lousy. They don't care about a lot of things.

In fact I tried it once because I wanted to learn about their datfile format. I was completely lost in that gui...no idea what to do and where to do.
..and most 'rom collection professionals' dropped RC a long time ago...


anyway...use whatever you want.
