validate roms about supermodel HOT 3 OPEN

Can’t clrmame validate that ROMs are valid MAME sets? Supermodel should be able to just load those. Is the problem with split ROMs?

Clrmame can rebuild and validate MAME sets, but Supermodel doesn't seem to be aligned with the latest 0.262 MAME romset. I rebuilt the Model 3 games using the 0.262 Romsets and an official MAME dat in Split. However, there are issues loading certain games (I don't remember which ones now) due to missing files. For example, the device rom segabill (epr-20886.ic2) is separated in MAME, but Supermodel requires it to be merged. So, after adding the segabill rom to the game's zip file, it works. The problem is that this process has to be done on a per-game basis, and segabill is not the only issue. It's a hassle to do this for every game (loading games one by one, checking/searching/adding/rebuilding the missing files). If you could provide a DAT file so everyone could just rebuild from a current MAME set, that would be much easier. It's not really hard to create this DAT it only needs to be created from Supermodels current working set.

I see. This is going to be a pretty big change to the ROM loading system. Will have to find time to do it. For now, not sure how to resolve this easily.
