This is exactly what I did.

I am not sure of this terminology. I have it marked as "Split sets" in the scanner options but not sure what tzip is?

The thing is after the scan I get a statistics window but it is confusing as it says: Missing ·Sets 0/0 ·ROMs 0/0 ·CHDs 0/0 ·Samples 0/0 ·Bytes 0/0
so it looks like it doesn't find anything? But it scans the huge pile of roms that are in the folder.
Just tried again and this time didn't have clrmamepro include the software lists and it seems to be scanning correctly. Would that have been my error?
