Is there a macro for Sofware States too?

Not yet, but there'll be one or two of course wink.

Support for software-state checking & caching has been promoted to non-WIP in SVN r4836 wink! It might not be "perfect" yet and it has so far only been tested on Linux, but I think it's ready for general use now. However, I'd appreciate tests by others esp. on Windows!

One thing that I found is, that it'll mark a entry incorrect, yet when you run it, mess doesn't complain

I know there are such cases but that's the result of what MESS returns when running "mess -verifysoftlist <software-list>"... (which BTW is one reason NOT to combine states to just green/red)

An example for this is:

Code
rene@thunder:~/src/mame-svn> ./mess64 -rp "/home/games/mess/roms;/home/games/mame/roms" -verifysoftlist neogeo 2>&1 | grep pbobblenb
pbobblenb   : us1 (131072 bytes) - NOT FOUND
pbobblenb   : um1 (131072 bytes) - NOT FOUND
pbobblenb   : u8 (1048576 bytes) - NOT FOUND
pbobblenb   : u9 (524288 bytes) - NOT FOUND
pbobblenb   : uc5 (524288 bytes) - NOT FOUND
pbobblenb   : uc6 (524288 bytes) - NOT FOUND
romset neogeo:pbobblenb is bad
But it still runs:

Code
rene@thunder:~/src/mame-svn> ./mess64 -rp "/home/games/mess/roms;/home/games/mame/roms" -verbose aes -cart neogeo:pbobblenb

Dunno if it's a bug in MESS or the software-list(s)... or wanted behavior.

Methinks me might know why. Could it be that QMC2 checks every rom in a set like pbobblenb, when most of the roms is in pbobblen, thus not really taking into account, split roms. where the main set has most of the roms, and the clones only have the roms needed for that set, and taking the rest from the parent?

Well, -verifysoftlist shouldn't tell me 'bad' then... and QMC2 only interprets what this command returns. It does nothing else.

Here's my current set of icons for software-states (correct, incorrect, mostly correct, not found and unknown):

What do you think? Or perhaps someone wants to post different ones (appreciated).

On the NES I get a couple of red (incorrect) icons but the game runs fine ?
