You can set a subset of sets if you like (Settings->Sets/PathSelector)
(there is the mentioned available games button, too).

The better method is to scan all and disable scanner's popupmenu option
"show all missing sets" this will hide the completely missing sets from
appearing in the report.

This can be caused by several reasons. First...the available sets
button activates the sets you currently have plus parent/clones of
these if the parent/clone checkbox is enabled, too.

Another reason is that several fixes will reorganize sets and this may
affect sets you don't have. Follow my advice and scan all and hide the
fully missing ones instead.

Click the settings button, change the drop down to sets and click
the Available Games button.

didn't see it.

You can enable/disable systems in scanner's "system..." window. If your
selected sets require biossets, you should keep the related system of
course.

ok. but why in the scan results aren't there the games I have? Because they
don't need to be fixed?

actually.. in the settings I manually selected the only 7 games I have. In
the scan results window I can see 25 biossets (folder with an X) and none of
the 7 sets I have.

If you've only got seven games why the hell do you need a rom manager
anyhow?

Yes...... it has been said before ;-)

I thought so but wasn't 100% sure

Of course you are
It's nothing to be ashamed of you know ;-)

>now where are those ten missing bloody choko roms......

See told ya 🙂

It always puzzles me with roms where they aren't available
I mean obviously someone has them...Do they hang onto them on purpose
or aren't they aware that they have them and no-one else has?

And as for the missing roms for dats like the Arcade Minor emus,
Unemulated and Unk
I mean what's the score there ?
Do they compile the dats just to piss people off ? ;-)
