I'm pretty used to using Romcenter so I'm having a bit of difficulty with Clr. Is there a way to configure it to only scan and tell me whats wrong with just the roms? For example: Say I have svc (parent) and svcboot (clone). When I run a scan, clr will create zips of all the other clones to svc. I just want it to tell me if something needs too be fixed in just those two. My current split romset is about 600 zips and after running a scan, its over 1000 because it went through and created zips of all the clones.

Thanks for your help :)

yes, cmpro only tells you what is wrong with your sets. Reason is, that a state of 'is right' is not fine defined. It heavily depends on the used settings, merge mode etc. For example a set which is perfectly right for a non-name check doesn't have to be right anymore when you enable this check.

Anyway...if you only want to scan some sets, you have multiple options to do so. In the scan results window you got a button at the lower left 'Set information' which brings up a new window where you can
- manually enable/disable sets
- only scan available sets
- enable / disable sets by using regualar expressions and all kind of variables etc.


What I prefer is to keep all sets enabled. If you only have a dozens sets you will of course get lots of 'missing set' listed. But you can hide these fully missing sets by disabling the scan results popup menu option view->show all missing sets.

By the way, the reason why a scan created files for other clones is mostlikely that you kept fix-missing enabled and cmpro finds missing ones in your rompath. Looks like the mentioned sets share a lot of files.

Setting it to scan only the sets I have helped. I have no idea how I missed that setting ;) However, its still showing clones all the missing clones for a parent set. Un-checking those unwanted sets should fix that, but that will take me a bit. Would it be possible for you to tweak the scan only available sets option further by including a setting to only scan available clones as well?

Thanks so much for the help :)

there's another checkbox in that set information window called 'parent / clones' or something. If this is enabled, it will automatically enables all belonging clones and the parent.
So turn that off and redo your selection.
