KG change the dat file a while ago so it only looked at the zipfile not the contents which is why it's telling you you have unneeded files.
If the files aren't stored in the original zips that you downloaded clrmame won't recognise them. One day he might discover torrentzip so everyone can create zips with the same crc. Last edited by Ian; 01 January 2009 at 16:52. |

seems like clearmame unzipped them in memory before checking |

if you uncheck roms in the scanner it should be fine.
With Roms checked it looks for things inside the zip files. If you had a zip containing another zip it would be fine. |
