Hi... Just tried this on a backup I had on an external drive. Added d:\games\mame\roms, but it didn't do the trick.

On right bottom status bar, I have now 141 machines|37, which is weird, since I have no zips under "roms"... all are under specific subdirs (standard, etc.). They seem to be "machines" (bios?) rather than games...

What could be going on?

Thanks again!
