The ROM files don't work in MAME.

This probably belongs in a different section, buuuuuut... you are aware of course that different versions of MAME often have different ROM formats for various machines and the ROM MAME version needs to match the MAME version used to run it?

Unicorn herding operations are proceeding, but all the totes of hens teeth and barrels of rocking horse poop give them plenty of hiding spots.

On this forum you cannot link to any material of that nature, but essentially you have to find the full romset version which matches the MAME version and just download the part of it you want
