For some reason ROMCENTER reports all my games missing but in the rom paths section all the roms are green and marked as correct files. How does this make sense?

This only happens when I choose 1G1R..

If I load the database and the rom path 1617 games show up green as playable. (Something like 1000 games show up missing). When I select 1G1R it reports 0 games playable, 1617 games missing.

Yes, I found that a refresh procedure is missing. This is fixed for next 3.6.4.
Until then, refresh all paths (select 'rom files' node, right click, Reload Paths)

Question, this may be my noob side talking.

RomCenter shows the mame 0.146 datafile, and has the rom path set to mames rom folder. Created the database, and of course some roms are missing bin files and won't run under 0.146.

Ok, so I have the bin files now. I put them in a folder called Bin Files, and added that as a rom path.

I then went back to the red/bad rom located in the mame rom path, and chose fix, but it's still showing those two bin's missing.

DId I do something wrong to fix the rom?

Thanks!

still "&" font not recognize....

Are they still shown in red? If yes, the files you have are either an older version or some other files which are not part of this game. Just in case, try refreshing the "main mame rom path" to see if the roms still remain red or they turn yellow. As Eric stated in an earlier post:

Can you be more precise ? Is it in the datafile ? or a filename ?
I tried both, but can't reproduce the problem.
