Roman,

Just thought I have something nice here for when you get back! :)

I was just going through, re-scanning my sets, when I came across a strange error. After playing around, trying to replicate the problem, I came up with the following sequence :

If I scan my Testdrivers set (dat file version 20030904), and then I try & use the 'official mame32 cabinets', 'icons' or 'screenshots' (from John IV's site), I get the following message :
------------------------------------------------------
ROM-Path :

D:\Program Files\Mame32\cabinets\

matches a setname.

This is mostly done by mistake. Normally you have a rompath which includes setfolders or setzipfiles but it doesn't point to a setfolder.

It's recommended to change that romfolder !
------------------------------------------------------

Then, when I click OK, it comes up with all of the BIOS files from the Mame set (decocass.zip, neogeo.zip, etc) as having problems & missing files.

I can replicate this every time by doing the following :
- Load the 'MAME Test Drivers v0.73' datfile.
- Go straight back to the Profiler & load the 'official mame32 cabinets' datfile.
- Run a Scan & get the error.

When it happens, if I load one of the other datfiles (the 'icons' or 'screenshots'), I get the same problem.

If I load another datfile (in this case, I am using the 'MAME Samples 20030904' file from your site), then go back & load the datfile I was having problems with, the problem goes away, and the set scans without a problem.

I'm sure it's just something simple, like not clearing the list of BIOS Sets under certain conditions, but I hope this information helps you to fix the problem.

Thanks, and I hope you had a good break!
