I am still at MAME .115. Its very tedious to keep updating the romsets. I really don't know how people can keep doing it.

Update it. They are always update regularly at anytime.

Not the websites I go to, but all those roms in my collection, no, just no.

[azoreseuropa]

What do you mean ? I am not sure I understand.

[Spellsong]

When I try to play most of my MAME roms in a updated emulator, it does not work, so I have to find (Hard to find for me) the updated romset for it. So I have to download the files all over again. Some work just to use an updated emulator.

Ahh... you have to understand that some roms are change. You will just simple rename it. Just check your newest mame to see rom's name to match your roms and rename it and you will be fine. I did. Now everything are perfectly with my newest emulator.
