ckmame is a program to check ROM sets for MAME, the Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator.

ckmame project tells you which ROM files are missing or have a wrong checksum, and can delete unknown and unused files from the ROM sets, and rename or move ROM files.

Requirements:
lib (at least version 1.1.2)
libzip
Berkeley DB
optionally libxml2 (for parsing xmame -listxml output)

What's New in This Release:
ckmame can now account for files kept elsewhere (e.g. stored on DVD) and remove them from the ROM set being checked. mkmamedb can create a database from multiple dat files (remembering which game is in which dat file), and omit games matching shell glob patterns.
Zip archives and disk images are not read in multiple times, which speeds up integrity checking enormously, and a new option has been added to remove all unneeded files from extra directories.
Unknown files are stored in the directory "unknown", not in "garbage" inside the ROM path, to keep the ROM directories clean.
