Hello,

I have had a full mame cabinet for years.  I am adding a MAME emulator to my xbox 1 just so I can play some of the games on the bigscreen.  The mame emulator for xbox came with 2 DAT files, one is for ClrMamePro and the other is for RomCenter.  Is there a way I can use either of those files against my full set to "copy out" those roms listed into a different folder so i can load them to my xbox?  I dont want to interrupt my full set, but would like a "full set" on the xbox of at least the ones that this emulator supports.  Thanks!

Use rebuild. Set your main rom folder as the source, then using the dat, rebuild to a different folder. Make sure the box that says delete source files is not selected.
