MAME 0.161 Rom Set Inventory

[Xhumeka]

When I added my MAME wheel I used the same emulator/romset that I had working with Hyperspin 1 and Rocketlauncher (0.161 Rom set and selected Mame version 0.175 during system setup).

After synching completed, HyperHQ reports only 3250 games, but when I audit the same romset in Rocketlauncher it reports almost 8,000 games.

I realize the setting "merge clones together" may explain some of the discrepancy, but some are clearly missing (Mat Mania and Exciting Hour were two that immediately caught my eye for example.

Are the missing games a result of me selecting Mame version 0.175 but pointing to a 0.161 Rom set, or is some other issue at play?

Thanks in advance!

I have the same issue. I have loaded my mame roms with the version of Mame that I used in Hyperspin 1 with rocketlauncher and it has found 9074 but all up I have over 30,500 roms. I did not check to merge duplicate roms so I am not sure why I am missing so many? Some roms are in folders but over 95% are as a zip file.

Would love to hear if anyone else is having this same issue.

I have already deleted and added them multiple times trying different settings but same result.

So I think I have solved my issue.

I went into settings and enabled auto import. once the first cycle of imports completed. I closed down HQ. I went into Task Manager and killed off any HQ processes and then started HQ again. Waiting and then auto import starter. I now have 29900 + roms added to HQ Mame.
