I appreciate your work on this. Yes, I create a custom DAT for my PC game collection. I wanted to test the view as a better alternative to collections for games series. I used ClrMamePro to make a DAT file from a directory and got it working after some trial and error. The view works like movie sets, which is what I wanted.

dmakk, I need you to make some work as beta tester. I implemented the filter in No-Intro/Redump audited launchers and heavily modified the ROM auditing to make it more user friendly. Please install the latest development version of AEL from Github and play with it. If you find any bug or issue please tell me.

@Everyone: I also implemented a nice feature: browsing of the Offline Scraper database. AEL is now feature complete for a new release and once it's been tested a bit I will release 0.9.6.

Note that 0.9.6 will be the last Jarvis-compatible version of AEL. 0.9.7 and up will work on Krypton only.

The latest version works great, and I've had no issues so far. I love the fact adding roms now adds and removes dead roms. That could probably be changed to update ROMs. The display ROM's views work exactly as I expected, and they work in both normal and parent/clone view. The immediate audit after adding a DAT file is great as well. The only issue I came across that remains is that the fanart and boxfront artwork for the parents still doesn't appear. This also brought forth the queston, if the parent ROM is missing, what art will be used? Will it be the next game in the DAT file? If there's parent artwork but no parent ROM, would that artwork be used?
