Renaming and redumps over the years.

You will need a tool. https://mamedev.emulab.it/clrmamepro/

What this does is rebuilding the zips and removing the non needed roms. This will let you know what is missing from the sets.

Please read on how to use it. https://mamedev.emulab.it/clrmamepro/#docs There some links listed there.

There is a forum. https://www.emulab.it/forum/index.php?board=6.0
