Just used the latest P/C dat on my files, and I noticed a couple problems.

a) BIOS files seem to be omitted from the P/C dat.
b) P/C relationships are messed up. Some are missing (e.g. Alex Kidd in Miracle World) and some are just plain wrong (e.g. Slap Shot (USA) is listed as parent of Smurfs, The (Europe) and miss the actual clones entirely.)

If you look at top of page you'll see that it reads

"P/C update: 447 + x000"

It should be "447 + x010"

alexian has forgotten to include the xB01-xB10 entries (BIOS files) in his update.

He has also messed his own P/C relations (according to current P/C txt file in the Download->P/Clone tab). It's probably a wrong numbering issue, numbers must be wrongly assigned on the uploaded file. I'll PM him.

Much of the problem has to do with there being no nice way to find out the mystic numbering system used when the main dats were loaded to DoM. The Offline List has some kind of numbering system, but it is not directly related to the true numbering.

I'll take a look at this when I get back to my main computer. Should be fairly fixable.

New version posted. This should be fixed now. Please post if you notice any more missed or misaligned relationships.

Just looked over the P/C file, everything looks good to me. I don't see any alignment issues, and the only thing that caught my attention was Tecmo World Cup 92/93, and further research convinced me that it was correct. This looks fixed to me.
