I don’t recommend manually trying to “fix” rom collection. You should use clrmame pro and make it fix it for you. VPU is as I’ve said before pretty complete and has all those new roms that has been added in the last years. VPF does not. Same goes for ipdb. Though, many roms have of course not changed in years either. You are almost doing what you should though, you started the rom outside of VPX. But, did you see the check button ? It tells you what it expects to find inside the zip file and what the crc should be etc. VPU uses split sets. So, get all roms in the series is recommended. Often though you need only the largest ( lets call it parent ) and the one you want to play ( lets call it child) to become complete for the game.
I still have a small mix of merged and split sets in my cab, but, I did a rebuild to merge set that I haven’t transferred to my cab yet. I advice you to get all the stwr_*.zip that is listed in 3.3 beta from VPU overwriting the mess. Only them will I be surprised to see that the game doesn’t start. This is list of zip files I found inside my cab matching that pattern. I don’t think anyone new has been added recently. Even though only clrmame or manual verifying will tell me.
