It also does not work here anymore with most newer p/c sets. I just had the problem with TurboGrafx and now with Nintendo Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance also is not working - I have given up checking for now. Same error message about double names like seen at
viewtopic.php?f=34&t=2554&start=15#p14739.
On the Game Boy Color set, I get my first error here:

and many more following...
Can this be fixed for clrmame pro usage, or is there a workaround to be able to continue using p/c sets? I have used them for years now to save HDD space - especially on small roms, you get nearly the same archive size with all roms included like if only compressing one single rom...
[EDIT]
I have attached an old working NES p/c - the latest one gives the first error at "Addams Family, The":
Code: Select all
Set: Addams Family, The (Europe) (En,Fr,De)
Name: Addams Family, The (USA)
Issue: Double name
Name will be changed to: 'Addams Family, The (USA)_0'!
The old "rule" seemed to be: If it is a p/c set, then the release name of the parent is without any region and language information. And this is will also be the name of the archive. If there is only one rom, the release name also contained region information.
So, to get it working, region and language information should be removed from the parent set. Or is it always well known which regional version is the first one released and thus the parent one?
If you decide to remove it, I even wonder if it wouldn´t be best to remove the region information in the release field of every rom, even if a rom has no clones.
