I don't get any warnings, the files can be freely deleted by hand, for example. The first time I run CLRMAMEPRO 3.106, in the scanresults they show as fixed, however they are not. Every time I run CLRMAMEPRO, the MAME 0.120 profile has a "forbidden" sign over it. What does that mean anyway?

I closed the program and just ran it again while typing this reply. Answered Yes to all "delete" and "rename" questions. Here is the scan result - note I unchecked the "You want to scan" options: Samples and CHD. For an unkown reason Come on Baby still appears as normal ROMset even though it's a CHD. Also while it was scanning and fixing wschampa I noticed inside "backup\_tempmove\wschampa" some 7 files that were stored there, then deleted - I assume they should be recompressed inside wschamp, but they never did as wschamp was never created inside mame\roms. Looking at the files dates, they are being handled by CLRMAMEPRO as their date and time stamps are close to the time I ran the program. So they were modified, but how come royalmah is always with wrong names?

The ones I really miss are nitdbl, wh1 P ROMs and cannonbp color proms. All other Amiga CD32 and Konami Viper are not there because I have them in a separate, removable HD (that's why I unchecked CHDs).
