Not what you asked for, but a sane alternative:

Once you have the dat file for 0.37b5, copy the ROMs (current ROMs) you want to rebuild to a different folder, set this as ROM path, and your old .37b5 files to another folder, that you set as the add path. Then select 'available games' before starting the scan/rebuild. That way it will only work on the ROMs you have copied and not build partial .zips for all the others that you don't want.

...of course this will only work for sets that have the same name as they had way back in .37b5.
