Just use datutil. Logiqx also use it. And what's more, Logiqx is badly-wounded thus there may not be any updates in a few weeks...

Yes, RomCenter can import a data file from mame.exe so long as you have datutil.exe v2.22 or newer in the RomCenter directory.
Alternatively, to generate a RomCenter data file from mame.exe you could do this:
mame -listxml >mame.xml
datutil -f rc mame.xml
This will generate a RomCenter datafile called datutil.dat.

Improving slightly each day, thanks. I'm still at my parents and the most I've been doing on a computer is picking up my e-mail every 3 days. I don't think I'll be in a position to do the required MAME updates for a while though. I have my tools on a memory stick but without my own PC, the job is more arduous than it would be ordinarily.

Sorry to hear that. Best wishes for a quick recovery and a happy new year, without such problems...
