Thanks all.
It sounds like the best would be to have the collection name and the name sent to the scrapper be different settings. That way, I could have a "supermodel3" collection, but scrap the roms as "mame" roms.

I will check this. If not, this should be fixed.
Open that file with some text editor, take a look where your collection its named "Other" and change it to whatever you like. You'll find something like <RomCollection id="01" name="Other">
Anyway, when you don't find the system in RCBs list of platforms you won't get good results from the online scrapers. I guess there must be some more intelligence in the future to handle some of the Arcade systems with emulators other than MAME.
That text dialog was displayed only once after I installed the last test version. For all other collections that I added later it wasn't displayed.
About the other point about adding different names in the collection name it depends a bit. The best way to choose the name its check the availability and the name used in the page of the scrapper you want to use. It depends a lot of the amount of info about that system that the source have.
