If I have the DAT file of a console or MAME, is it possible to create my own custom DAT for 1 ROM of each game with the best dump for each region (1 world ROM, 1 USA ROM, 1 Japan ROM, 1 Europe ROM), in the case of MAME, all the official games released up to 2001 and exclude the rest, including all hacks, proto, bad, and other useless ones? Should I keep only the hacks of the versions of Street Fighter 2 and not exclude KOF from 2001 to 2005 (1 ROM for each region)?

Please help me make this selection. I have MAME 0.273 merged.
What software IS good and easy use? I have clrmamepro i confused dificult use

I tried with chatGPT, I generated a mamegames xml with mame.exe, then I generated a python py file with command lines for my request indicated by chatGPT, then I applied it with clrmamepro, it took 6 hours but nothing was done, the fullset generated mame 0.273 merged remains with the same size of 76gb

I don't know what to do, I wanted: all official games released up to the year 2001 (e.g. 70s-2001), remove the rest, each game with 1 ROM per region, with this ROM having the best dump, for example (1 USA ROM, 1 World ROM, 1 Japan ROM, 1 Europe ROM), remove hacks (keep only the hacks of the official versions of Street Fighter 2), remove protos, remove betas, remove all unnecessary garbage, do not remove kof 2001-2005
