 <WRAP alert>The RomVault UI will allow you map multiple DATs to a single directory. Do NOT map multiple DATs to the same ROM directory. Doing so may result in unintentional file deletions during a fix operation if the "[[global_settings#double_check_delete|Double Check Delete]]" global setting is disabled.</WRAP>
