Not All ROMs Will Import

Hmmm Not sure what MAME you are running if that is the case.

My mame folder has 15,113 ZIP files for the MAME Merged set and another 648 folders for the CHD files. 

and when you do a search for the "files" in MAME you get this

"As of the latest MAME releases, the "files list" contains information for over 7,000 unique games and around 10,000 individual ROM image sets; however, not all of these games are fully playable depending on the set and available ROMs."

If you only have that many files you aren't running with a "full set". 

PleasureDome is your friend. I'm running MAME 0.273 ROMs (merged) and the current CHDs as well.

Please confirm the to set version and type

for example I run .273 & non-merged

MAME should be the easiest set to add and with Hyperspin 1.5  I have 4,880 working roms on my wheel yet running it through Hyperspin 2 it only finds 2,920 (with skipping anything)

This is the same with Launchbox (7 years after it was released) so they are both obviously using the sane crap scraper.

We need an option where it imports EVERY rom in the folder you point to like all the other sets (then you can at least use dummy roms for the importing.

using MAME 0.273 non merged.

There are roughly 5,200 working roms (excluding clones) yet it only scrapes 2,900 of them.

xml’s worked much better for MAME as it literally found them all.

I can confirm this same issue. I have 331 roms, on .272 non-merged. HS only picks up 239. I've tried deleting the system and readding, clear caches etc. Still only imports 239. It seems that the show unmatched roms option isn't working either. as clearly I have a large amount unmatched but it shows nothing when that option is selected.

I reported this last Monday.
