Closer to 45% if you include clones, unplayables, & mahjong games.  Higher percent if you ignore unplayables (~60%), lower if you count just parents or ignore mahjong games (~30%).  (I'm not able to get through to controls.dat ATM to check the numbers, though.)

Of course, controls.dat was last updated for 0.111, and 0.117 is now out, so the numbers are even lower because of the added games (336 more).  Most of the rest missing, OTOH, are the smaller, less well know, uncloned games.  (Not all, but most.)

(edit: upgraded numbers after looking at control.dat)

This doesn't happen when I put a copy of Romlister on a machine that has never had it before.  It must be some field that was left from an old version messing up the new one.

Yup, just found out about this this morning too.
I'll be able to look into tomorrow and will post back here when a new version is available.  Rather weird, but that's what you get for free!

ok, build 007 is available.

Fixed the checkbox thingy not doing what they're supposed to be doing. 

I'm still WIP on the addition on the MAME release# a game was included in, and the fix for controls.xml not having data on certain games.  I've kinda programmed myself into a corner trying to add these features, so they may not see the light of day until I get some inspiration.  We'll see.
