      OK I managed to find a 1.0.0 FB Neo romset, updated FB Neo from source in retropie. As you said my romset is not 100% exact match with the current DAT from github but a lot of the missing or incorrect roms are Hacks, or homebrews etc. I don't really care about them. Works very well for now :)

      In RetroPie, the NeoGeo system is separate, so you can copy the NeoGeo romset collection to the neogeo folder and the arcade only romset to arcade.
      You can combine them if you want, but you might want to keep neogeo separate just in case you'd want a different configuration applied to it (see this post for an example of why you'd want that).

      @cousinsfan said in Issues Making AdvanceMame Rom set...:

      You said "it's corresponding" rollback set...not any old older one?

      I've always only used a ROM set's corresponding rollback set when building. What's more, I always use the absolute most recent available at any time when doing so. I can't speak to the results of any other method, but I've never had an issue using that work flow.

      Uhm..."simply obtain .106".....I have a question. :)

      ...A question that is not allowed here in any way. Please read the forum rules.

      @ruicunha
      there's no need to rebuild anything. mame 0.78 set is trivial to obtain. what's more, it's a non-merged set so if you don't want all the clones, you can just delete them manually without breaking any of the ones you want to keep.

      if it's only 400 roms you want it'll be quicker to just cut and paste those from the 0.78 set than to read our documentation ;)

      @stoo Looking forward to it. Great job. Exactly what I needed and so easy to validate my set with clrmamepro.

      @markwkidd thanks for your updates, one of these days I'd like to delve into romlister to filter out game types. I know floob had done some in the past but for the few people who filter Mame rom lists might be a useful tool.

      Here's a solution for the Linux command line of Retropie. You get to the command line by quitting Emulation Station or by connecting over the network with ssh. After logging in, you will be in the home folder of the user pi with the full directory path /home/pi/ or in short ~.

      I've extracted all rom names from the 0.78u5 DAT file. You can get the list here. Save it into a file called lr-lite.list to use it with the following commands.

      In the example below, your full romset is in folder romset_full and the custom romset will be in folder romset_lr-lite, both located in your home folder ~. The file lr-lite.list is also in your home folder ~.

      You'll then have to execute one these commands:

      Either copy the files (needs more space, the full set remains intact)

      while read file; do cp "romset_full/$file".zip romset_lr-lite/; done < lr-lite.list

      or move the files (same space as before, filtered files are removed from the full set)

      while read file; do mv "romset_full/$file".zip romset_lr-lite/; done < lr-lite.list

      Now, you have a custom romset matching the 0.78u5 DAT file in the folder romset_lr-lite. Copy the roms into the rom folder of your choice (e.g. mame-libretro) and then scrape them to generate a new gamelist.xml.

      You can delete the file lr-lite.list after checking that everything worked as planned.

      Bonus for advanced users: I extracted the rom names from the 0.78u5 DAT file by using this command.

      xmlstarlet sel -T -t -m /datafile/game/@name -v . -n mame2003-lr-lite.xml >lr-lite.list

      fair enough. please edit the wiki if you can find a nice way of including that information.

      for me those customized .dats probably shouldn't be used by beginners at all. the beginner approach should always be to put the right romset in the right folder and not mess about with dats or clrmamepro at all :)

      @meleu said in Rebuild fba/mame romset to remove clones:

      Where are you planning to get the mame gamelist txt file from?

      Well, actually that was my question :-). I'm not so familiar with arcade romsets let alone how to rebuild them..
      Guess I'll stick with clrmamepro for my mame romset. If i've found a solution, a certainly will post this into this topic!

      Much thanks for your help!

      @dankcushions Not picking a fight, not in the slightest. As far as I am concerned I have done nothing wrong. I see people being referred to search engines all the time. If I had posted a direct link I would apologise and move on. Archivedotorg is nothing more than a repository. Referring people to it breaks none of the forum's rules as far as I, and others, are concerned.
      Where is the dotuk link in any of my "non-conforming" posts?

      @allenpie that's great I will send you a message at the weekend. If the Vm is Windows then it will run as for samba as long as you have read write permissions for set the directory as a network drive it will be fine. Hoping that you will be able to help fine tune the program as at the moment it's all done from my point of view! Thanks!
