Name : Searches for Roms containing in the game name the exact name of another rom. Useful if you have clones (different rom file) but whose game name is the same. Apply this, once the game was scraped because the game names returned will be accurate.

Example: 'Speedball (Europe) (Mirrorsoft).zip' and 'Speedball (Europe) (Virgin).zip' roms will return the same game name (Speedball).
On the other hand '007 - A View to a Kill [Part 1 Of 4]' and '007 - A View to a Kill [Part 2 Of 4]' will not be considered as duplicates.

File : Searches for the Roms containing in the file name part of the file name of another Rom. Example: 'Back to the Future Part II (Europe).zip' and 'Back to the Future Part III' (Europe).zip

Remember to remove the filter by clicking on 'No filter' after use.
