The base is mame 0.273 dat and fullset, I need to create a complete and clean MAME fullset with ROMs up to the year 2001, for each game released up to this year I would like only 1 USA ROM, 1 Japan ROM, 1 World ROM, 1 Europe ROM without hacks, without proto, without beta and without unnecessary files, samples only up to 2001, CHD only of necessary games, example Killer Instinct 1 and 2
Is this possible?

Yes.
You will need to do the selections yourself though.
Good luck !

Manually it is very complex and time-consuming, is there any software capable of performing this procedure more efficiently and quickly? In the software I select the option 1 ROM per region, all games from the 70s-2001, not hacks, not proto, not betas?

To my knowledge, no such software exists.
You will have to do the selecting yourself, manually.

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

As you discovered, ChatGPT is no solution. Again, you need to do it manually. Or learn how to program yourself. Or pay someone to do it for you.
Good luck !
