Deleting roms
@mholgatem : tried that, but the roms were still there. I have now managed to delete the files in the ui by copying another rom in the advmame roms directory and THEN running the scraper again. seems to be a bug of sorts. problem solved

there is no folder called IMAGE, or at least please give me the exact location of this elusive folder. under /home/pi/pimame/emulators/mame4all/... there is no IMAGE folder.
