Summary 05556: mame -verifyroms lists nonexistent roms / clones as bad
Description Somewhat similar to bug: 04267: -verifyroms lists nonexistent roms / clones as bad
Hapening since a few major versions ago. Not new from v 0.153

The following roms are listed as bad but NONE of these are installed.
aliensyn2, aliensyn5, aliensynjo, sdib, sdibl, defense, kizuna4p, mac2bios, rdft2us, rfjets, rfjetsa, shinobi2, shinobi3, shinobld, h63484, mb90082

Original parent roms are OK and do not contain any extra unedded files:

# mame64 -verifyroms aliensyn
romset aliensyn is good

# mame64 -verifyroms sdi
sdi : 317-0027.key (8192 bytes) - NEEDS REDUMP
romset sdi is best available

# mame64 -verifyroms rdft2
romset rdft2 is good

# mame64 -verifyroms rfjet
romset rfjet is good

# mame64 -verifyroms shinobi
romset shinobi is good


Now, if i execute "mame64 -verifyroms" to do a full rom audit the following nonexistent roms are listed:
(i never installed any of these i promise!)

h63484 : h63484.bin (256 bytes) - NOT FOUND - NO GOOD DUMP KNOWN

[...] romset shinobi3 [shinobi] is bad

shinobld : 12.bin (65536 bytes) - NOT FOUND
[...] romset shinobld [shinobi] is bad

These sets should not be listed because they are not installed and not needed.
Steps To Reproduce 1) Start with a empty ROMS folder.
2) Install the following roms: sdi, aliensyn, shinobi, rdft2, rfjet.
3) execute this in the terminal: "mame -verifyroms"
4) Now you will see some non existent roms being audited and giving an error.
Additional Information I used the official command line MAME binary from mamedev.org

In most of the cases, it seems, parents are in a driver and it is assumed the clones are in the same driver and they are not
EG: shinobi

C:\Users\ThenGames\Desktop\153>mame shinob* -ls
shinobi segas16a.c
shinobi1 segas16a.c
shinobi2 segas16b.c
shinobi3 segas16b.c
shinobi4 segas16b.c
shinobi5 segas16b.c
shinoblb segas16a.c
shinobld system16.c
shinobls segas16a.c

All appears normal.

The sets listed either do not need roms, or their only roms are undumped.

Closing.

Yes, this is still an issue. I still have clones of pull parent sets being expected when they shouldn't be even attempted to audit.
Please follow the instructions above and note the numerous 'missing' from clones of those parents, not including NO_DUMP/BAD_DUMP or other sets not requiring ANY roms at all.

This function should also consider the rom file availability, if there's no file to be audited, nothing should be done or reported to avoid a flood of "xxx file not found".

If anything, perhaps the list of never validating roms could be controlled by linking into the "Hide romless machines" UI Miscellaneous option.
I agree that by design it is only supposed to show those which you already a folder/compressed folder.

Has some further examples. Since it is closed, I'm unsure how we will go to fix individual scanning of machines.

Update -

Situation improved a lot in recent MAME releases.

Now repeating these tests in MAME version 0.231, for me the only non existent rom being reported as bad is "vgmplay".
All other entries listed in the original report do not show anymore as missing or bad and also work well.

I think this bug can be closed as FIXED, because the only remaining problem, the "vgmplay" set might be something different specific to that driver.
Thank you all for your input.

vgmplay requires "new" roms for the new FM cores, so anything missing is likely expected if you haven't updated your romsets correctly.

I do not have the rom "vgmplay", hence it should't be reported as bad.

However, with an empty roms folder this "vgmplay" is not reported, so might be required for something i cant guess(?¿)

Anyway I propose this MT to fixed, since none of the previously reported errors appear anymore.
