Basic steps:

1) For MAME roms checking you don't need a datfile. Use Profiler->create and use your used MAME binary to import the data.

2) Settings->setup rompath(s)

3) Scanner, select your prefered merge mode, enable all check/fix options run a SCAN and let cmpro fix the stuff for you

4) you may stay with unfixable stuff and missing stuff. Now get the missing roms (or replacements for the unfixable ones) and add them. Adding can be done manually, via rebuilder or scanner's fixmissing.

Repeat 4) + FASTSCAN till you're done.


For other collections like artwork, flyers etc, get the belonging dats and do the same (handle pngs as roms now...)
