I have a MAME set ready in the HD, and it has some NoDump roms created as dummy files, and others not created. I would like to get rid of the created dummy files easily, so what about a fourth option in the 'NoDump Handling' section? Something like "treat as unneeded" so they get removed in a scan.

Dummy files for NoDumps are not only unneeded, but also undesirable. I think this option would be good for people who, like me, once thought they weren't...

Of course, just disregard this message if there's some kind of easy way of getting rid of them I might have overlooked ^_^

so that's what i've overlooked... i'll try to get haze to do the same suggestion, and see if it comes in next update ;)

well then i think i'll have to do it by hand.

good. a bit late for me, anyway it wasn't so slow or hard to do (thanks to cmpro). but it will be good for people. dummy files for nodump roms are either neutral or negative, but never positive for mame.

i hope you default to "treat nodump as unneeded (unless the rom is the only one in the set)" or something similar ^_^
