 **Shift/Right Click  'Update DATs':** Will perform a full reload of all the DATs in DATRoot. Generally this should not be needed, so only use this for troubleshooting if a DAT does not seem to be processed correctly or after upgrading RomVault to a newer version. For example, there may be changes between versions of RomVault that impact the way DATs are processed or how directory settings applied. In this case a full reload ensures all DATs are processed the exact same way. **Shift/Right Click  'Update DATs':** Will perform a full reload of all the DATs in DATRoot.

 We could have approached this another way, as we knew we had a partial MAME ROM set, we could have manually made all the directories RomRoot/Arcade/MAME (Matching the directory structure we setup in Datroot) and just copied the MAME ROMs we had directly into that directory, and then scanned and fixed as before. Doing this is preferable if we know we have a set that is close to being correct, as Scanning these ROMs in the correct directory will then hopefully get you close to where you are wanting to be, and the 'Find Fixes' / 'Fix ROMs' steps will only have to fix/move the files that need to be corrected. (Instead of having to move every single file over from Tosort.) We could have approached this another way, as we knew we had a partial MAME ROM set, we could have manually made all the directories RomRoot/Arcade/MAME (Matching the directory structure we setup in Datroot) and just copied the MAME ROMs we had directly into that directory, and then scanned and fixed as before.

 This stage is just checking to see what repairs need to be done. No files are moved at this stage. You can now look in the UI to see what can/will be fixed when you hit the next button. This stage is just checking to see what repairs need to be done. No files are moved at this stage.
