What CLRMame does is to check all of the individual rom files against a data file to make sure that they have the right information in them when you update mame

Start CLRMAMEPRO

Read the welcome message dialog, then click "OK"

Click "Create..."

Click "..." next to filename and find your mame exe

Type a description like "MAME0138"

Click "Create Profile"

Click "OK" and wait a while

Click "OK to All" or "Yes to All" on any window that pops up

Now you're at the main window

Click "Settings"

Click "Add" to add a ROM path

Browse to your MAME roms folder and click "OK"

To rebuild your rom set when adding new files, use the rebuilder from the main window

Select the source of the new files that you want to rebuild into your current set

Click "Rebuild"

This is useful when you have a set for an old version of MAME that you want to rebuild for a newer version of MAME

Here's the statistics screen from the rebuilding process

Armed with the knowledge above, you should be able to rebuild and scan/fix your MAME set.
