Hi !
I was reading this forum trying to find out about how to filter on my missing list certain "Roms", for example, all "(De)" and "(Fr)" from Commodore Amiga datfiles, but I wasn't able to do this :( (On a side note, the "Search" function on this forum does not work, or again, I wasn't able to)

It is possible to do this ? To have a "clean" scan results window, without a "full" set, just "masking" or "filtering" certain file names ? And if the answer is yes, do I get a "green profile" on the selector for those datfiles ?

Roman, thank you very VERY much for Clrmame, with it we can do very heavy jobs in a very short time in this amazing emulation world. It's a piece of art.

Thanks !

You can use settings->sets (rompath combobox) and enable/disable the sets you want/don't want. You can use the appearing button "available sets" to only enable the sets you currently have in your rompaths. You can also use the "Select Sets" edit box to enter masks in fnmatch() syntax. It might look a bit weird if you use it the first time but it's easier than you think ;). For example *[[]b?[]]* enables all sets which have a [b?] in their setnames, where ? stands for one random character like 1, 2, 3... Since [] have a different meaning in fnmatch syntax you have to capsule them in [] again to use them as standard brackets. So a [ will become a [[]. With the "i" button you can invert the selection.

Disabling sets will only disable them from scanning/merging/rebuilding. They won't be marked as unneeded.

The statistic window after a scan will also list each not selected set/rom as missing. So you might see weird values there. Since the green dot in the profile window depends on missing roms, it will stay red then.
