Dealing with missing ROMs

[chinagreenelvis]

Right now in 12.9 I can scan for missing ROMs in a given platform or in all platforms and either way, the result is astoundingly insufficient to deal with the multiple issues that could be causing games to have missing files.

All I see is a huge number (over two thousand right now) and a list of the first twenty, and then an option to either delete them all or not delete them all.

Is there no way to mark them as missing instead? No "missing ROM" filter?

I realize now that for some reason the vast majority it's "detecting" as missing come from the Arcade platform, presumably because I'm using a merged ROMset - so if there's no option to prevent that platform from being scanned or some way to actually audit what gets detected as missing, that forces me to have to re-scan every single other console platform one by one.

I would have thought that perhaps "none" or "exists" would have served this purpose but I don't understand the function of either.

"None" is for a list of games that do not have an associate platform.  

"Exists" is for a list of games that do have an associate platform.

"All" is for a list of all games, regardless of platform association.

Correct. Currently it's scan all platforms, or one-by-one.
