Retool only supports No-Intro and Redump DAT files. Here's why FinalBurn Neo and MAME aren't supported, from another feature request I had: TOSEC is also not supported:

You're welcome :)

Private DATs aren't supported. They're relatively new, and I haven't decided if it's something I wish to pursue. You've got two options in the meantime: Use the regular DAT, not the private one. Select a custom clone list and point it to the existing SNES clone list. Private entries won't be taken into account, but the public titles will. To do so: Add the SNES private DAT file, and select it in the DAT list. Click the System settings tab. On the Paths tab, click Override global settings. Click the button next to Select a custom clone list. In the clonelists folder, select Nintendo - Nintendo Entertainment System (No-Intro).

Sorry, I didn't get a notification email for your question and only saw it today as I was idly browsing! The short version is a typo caused this error. Where the clone list was meant to specify 1943 (for the FamicomBox version), instead it specified 1942. "1943 - The Battle of Midway": [ ["1943 - The Battle of Valhalla", 1], ["1942", 1] ], Because of this, Retool thinks 1942 (Japan, USA) (En) is a clone of the 1943 - The Battle of Midway titles, and puts it higher up in priority because it contains two regions. It leaves 1943 (Japan) (FamicomBox) alone as it's not mentioned in the clone list at all. Not an ideal situation. There's been a lot of chaos in No-Intro's NES DAT for the last few months (the split to headered/headerless, debate on what to do with homebrew, naming conventions changing), so I was waiting for a bit of stability before updating its clone list. But given others have noticed this issue, I'll fix this one now. There are a lot more updates for the NES DAT, but that's saved for Retool v2 to cut down on duplicate effort. Edit: It's now been fixed, update your clone lists and you should see the change.

Eeps, thanks for the heads up. Something went wrong in the build. Fixing now... Edit: Looks like the work I was doing on v2 clashed with the v1 build. Corrected now! Thanks again for letting me know.

Thanks! I'm in the middle of a huge rewrite at the moment, aiming at performance and code cleanliness. If all goes well, at some point it'll update to 2.0 and the codebase will look completely different. The perils of learning stuff 😅 Looking forward to seeing DATROMTool!

It's not the easiest tool to use Here's a walkthrough I made for both Retool and CLRMAMEPro that'll hopefully bridge the gap for you.
-
Thanks! You could set the No-Intro folder up in CLRMAMEPro as an Add-path, then use the Rebuilder. Just make sure to deselect Remove Matched Sourcefiles so your original files aren't removed. If I'm understanding this correctly, you want to keep both Bubble Bath Babes and Mermaids of Atlantis - The Riddle of the Magic Bubble, despite them being clones? To keep titles that would ordinarily be removed, you can add them to a custom global or system filter.

Sorry for the delay, I've been moving house and had no access to my PC. Just got things powered on, but much more work left to do. It looks like No-Intro dropped the (Combined) tag from the system name. Since this changed, the correct clone list wasn't accessed. I'll get to this as quick as I can, but you can get around the problem in the meantime by renaming clonelists\Nintendo - Super Nintendo Entertainment System (Combined).json to clonelists\Nintendo - Super Nintendo Entertainment System.json. Edit: This was fixed shortly after posting, but for some reason the hash file that's used by Retool's updater didn't upload. It should be fixed now, and an update should grab the new file.
-
Ah yeah, cross-region compilations that contain different titles make things really difficult when you're working with user-selected region priorities. I need to spend more time across all systems with that, so I can't promise you'll see the same result when I eventually get around to trying to balance the NES compilations. It's very time consuming to figure out all the combinations, so it'll be a little while yet.
-
Cheers A lot has changed since the original post! As of v0.89 the compilations and supersets options were removed, and they're now on by default. I'll quote myself from the changelog at the time: There's a bunch of new features in there too, so I'll make some time to update the original post in the future.

Cheers! Support is limited to Redump and No-Intro -- that's more than enough to occupy my time :)
