www.clrmame.com

You select your mame.exe/mame32.exe and CLRMAME makes a list what if missing. You can then tell it where to find the missing files and it fixes the rom-set itself.

I posted a new topic a while back but couldn't get any responses....

i've been using romcenter and it's worked great.  what are the pros and cons of it vs clrmamepro?

thanks.

I think either romcenter or cmpro will work.  I use both, but I lean toward using cmpro with MAME sets, since that's what it was originally built for, and I use romcenter for console collections and "simple" (ie, 1 rom per zip) collections.  I like romcenter's ability to list your roms and see visually what it thinks the problems are.  cmpro is a workhorse, but I always have to make a backup of my collection before I let it tear into it, cuz the user interface is a little weird to get your mind around.
