is there anyway to get cloned games launching in HS. For example, Street fighter III 3rd strike. It launches sfiii3 rom just fine but it keeps asking to upgrade CD but if I try an launch the ASIA nocd (sfiii3a) rom nothing happens. I looked in the log and it says sfiii3a rom file not found. I tried everything from adding sfiii3a manally to the .xml and generating an entire game list with cloned roms. All my directories are setup correctly. SFIII3a launches perfect in other frontends like MA, and even mame32...Any help will be greatly appreciated. I don't want to have to keep updating the cd to play 3rd strike.(15mins long)

Hmmm, well my sf3 plays fine. The cd was just a 1 time thing. I would maybe suggest backing up your rom, then renaming your clone rom to the parent rom name. I think ive done that with a few of my roms

Where do you rename the roms at?? what file folder? Do you mean renaming the actual zip file in the roms folder as the name of the parent rom??
