MAMEWorld Forums - EmuChat - weird problem auditing roms

Ok I'm using a fresh build of the official mame 172 source and clrmamepro.

I did the first audit and was missing a couple files so later I downloaded them. Did another audit and it refused to fix a couple of them so I went to the Rom folder and clicked on those files and it reported them as bad zip files so I deleted them, another audit run and it replaced those I had deleted.

So all fine right? No, it listed about another 20 as bad, again they showed up as bad zip files, I deleted them and installed new files, another audit and again another 20 or 25 listed as bad. Again I check them manually and Windows lists them as bad zip files.

Now the info, the roms range from ones I just downloaded for the last update to some that are a year old. I run split sets. It is the official stock build of mame 172 but arcade flag only. Win 7.

I have never had this problem before. I run the mame folders on an external hard drive. I have run the hard drive diagnostics tools on both my internal and the external drives and they both pass. Checked for disk errors, defragmented the drives, did read/write tests and again all came back good.

So anyone have any ideas? I would appreciate any thoughts. I'm getting scared of trying to audit again as each time I get another 20 to 25 different Roms listed as bad. Up to around 80 to 100 different replaced roms.

Only here to annoy...
