Thanks for the alternative option, looks interesting and I am sure will help a lot of people. But #1, the magnet never completes for me so cannot download any of those torrents, and my goal was to not have to do that.   Last time I scanned with Romvault it was showing me a lot of roms that were not useful to me in the list on the top right (i.e. not just scanning my roms), and it did not really show me the problematic roms in a way I could easily see.   I want to see the short list of issues like my tool shows, I don't need to see the rest. How can you do that with Romvault? And how can Romvault show CHDs not needed?   [Edit] Sorry, I tried again but Romvault is really not great. Example I put just 3 roms with issues in ToSort. Updated the dat with the fresh mame288.xml, scanned roms. Already all hell break loose here, for 3 roms, it said I had 18 roms! Then I clicked fix, it created 31 archives!!! WTF!! I guess Romvault is great if you want the complete Mame collection. I don't. I just want the small subset of roms I have to be complete and working, that is all.   Again thanks for sharing, I hope your direction will help many people, but this is exactly why I created my tool. There is nothing that does a simple scan.  

1. Download update packs and dat's from pleasuredome 2. Install romvault and run once 3. Put update pack into "ToSort" folder, extracted dat into "DatRoot" of RomVault 4. Run RomVault and:  a) Click on Update DATs  b) Right Click on Mame set that is now showing, and select "Set Dir Mappings" to set your original Mame roms folder directory   c) Click on "Scan ROMs"  d) Click on "Find Fixes"  e) Click on "Fix ROMs" With that you will have your mame set updated to the newest version

after test work well !!

Cool. I added for the missing rom the display of CRC, then you can search http://www.arcaderestoration.com/RomIdentification.aspx for the missing rom CRC. Sometimes you need to look in previous versions of mame to find where the existing rom was taken from: http://github.com/mamedev/mame/releases/download/mame0277/mame0277lx.zip     [wrally2] wr2.01d 753a138d missing   If you look now in the CRC database or in mame0278.xml it says it is part of wrally2, so not helping. But if you look at mame0277.xml you find that it is part of the old wrally2a. So you can download the old wrally2a and extract the rom from there.   <machine name="wrally2a" sourcefile="gaelco/gaelco2.cpp" cloneof="wrally2" romof="wrally2"> <description>World Rally 2: Twin Racing (EPROM version)</description> <year>1995</year> <manufacturer>Gaelco</manufacturer> <rom name="wr2.01d" size="524288" crc="753a138d" sha1="b05348af6d25e95208fc39007eb2082b759384e8" region="gfx" offset="400000"/>   I have not found a simple way to do that from a single mame version, I might make the tool download all databases but if you skipped few installs it might make things more complicated.

Does anyone know how to set up Play! for use with a mouse? I don't see any options to use a mouse for Vampire Night. Thanks. This is for the standalone version of Play, not the one through Teknoparrot.
