I really wish the MAME people would just stop doing all this ROM updating except when it's truly necessary. Eventually what I decided to do was just jump in grab a version of MAME and current ROMset and then jump backout and ignore all the updates from then on since I don't want to devote my whole life to keeping everything up-to-date together. It's why I stayed away from MAME for so long. I don't know if there's anyway to downgrade your ROMs like that at all.
Mame .78 romset update#
You have to know what version of MAME your ROMs were meant to go with and then using a program like CLRMAME and the proper DAT file for the version of MAME that your MacMAME is built on, you can update your ROMs to work.Īnd of course, newer version ROMs won't work with older versions of MAME, which becomes a pain for instance in my case where I have all v0.100.1 ROMs, but I'd also like to make a MAME disc for my Dreamcast, but can't since the Dreamcast version of MAME was built on v0.78 it something like that. Unfortunately it makes dealing with MAME a huge fucking pain in the ass. The MAME community does this because they think of themselves as an "archiving" community rather than just an "emulation" community so they want their ROMs to as accurate a rendition of the original arcade boards as possible.
It's usually just because some of the individual chip images within the zipped ROM have been renamed or something small like that, but it totally breaks compatibility. It's because every time MAME gets updated, some of the ROMs that worked with the older version will no longer work.
