How to show only games that are there (existing roms)?

I just installed LB and added MAME, using the complete set option.  First thing I notice is...  there are a bunch of games showing in LB that have no roms.  How do I tell LB to only show available (existing roms) games?  Or put another way... Hide games that aren't there (no roms)?

Hi and welcome to the community. :) 

The fullset importer is just that, it assumes you have a full romset, (hence the name). :) If you only have a selection of MAME roms then dont use that. Just use the normal tools/import/roms option, as long as you are using MAME as the emulator and specify that in the wizard you will get the final MAME import screen like you saw on the import you did, difference being this will only import what you actually have in your MAME roms folder.

ahhh... I figured that might be the case :)  I'll go back and try it that way.  Thanks for the reply!

Make sure you right click and delete your current platform before you do the new import, and UNCHECK any media downloads, they will reattach if you call the platform the same name.
