Hi there, while doing this month's round of updates to MAME and QMC2 0.183, I discovered a problem caused by the previous version of QMC2, v0.71. I'm reporting it in bceause I couldn't see any fixes related to the problem (ZIP handling?) mentioned in the most recent QMC2 Changelog. So this might still be a bug in the current version.
Here's what happened:
During the month before the most recent MAME and QMC2 versions, I had a go at familiarising myself with the ROMAlyzer. Specifically the ROM Collection Rebuilder, to try and learn how it works. The challenge I set myself was to try getting QMC2 to create or update a few ROM sets based on what I threw at it from a certain directory.
Fast-forward to last weekend and I start this month's updates of MAME and QMC2, and also a full scan of my collection using ClrMAMEPro. The CMP scan complains that three ROM sets are corrupt. So I take a closer look and all three were the victims of ROMAlyzer in QMC v0.71.
Here's the first one, as reported by 7Zip:

Hopefully it's just a simple fix for you of updating the external ZIP handling libaray that QMC2 uses. Or maybe you fixed it in the current version without me even noticing!
Either way, I thought I should let you know about this.
Thanks
