CMove clone removing batch file

[JoyMonkey]

I just updated my little batch file that will move every clone rom out of your roms folder and place it in c:\clones. This is great if you want to make your rom selection a little less bloated

The only problem with this is that a handfull of parent roms don't work, but have working clones.
 Is there a way of finding which games have a non-working parent, but a working clone?

For example, in Mame 0.89, the parent rom getstar doesn't work, but there is a working clone called getstarb.

I don't know how many games there are like this, but I'd like to find out so my script could leave the working clones alone.

many frontends do this.. 

My next version of JFront has removed many features on generic sorting, but I'm working on a program to move roms based on listxml and catver information.  It will look like a FTP program (list on left and list on right... where you can move and copy selected files)... but you can select all clones with one button...

I will look into selecting all clones of non-working parents.  Should be easy to do and be useful...

Currently thought.. it tries to copy all clones (and artwork/chds/ect) around together)... because my frontend keeps track of favorite clone... and defaults to the the highest ranking (based on driver status) child if the parents status are non-good.

I've been thinking of exactly the same type of application, but my lack of programming skills isn't much help. I started learning VisualBasic with this in mind, but didn't get too far past "Hello World!".
I'm always getting emails asking when I'm going to update the batch files that I make, so an app like this would be really popular (and save me from having to update the bat files all the time  ).
