Making an older romset work with a slightly newer build of mame

Hey all-
Its been a long time! I build my cabinet 7 or 8 years ago and sadly it sat off for the past 2 years. My 6 year old now wants to play, so I fired it back up to all kinds of software and hardware issues. I have most of it figured out, but I have at least 1 question. My mame roms are from version .103 and I have recently recompiled a custom version of mame .106 to run on the cabinet. Isn't there something I need to do to the romset to make sure all the games are playable on .106? Seems like I went through this once before when I went from .67 to something else.
Also if anyone knows, I would like to change my build so that when you pause a game it not only dims the screen but shows "Paused" in the middle. The last build I had did that, but I don't remember how I did it!
Anyway, its good to be back and I look forward to being on here again!

scan the roms with clrmamepro. It will fix the ones you have (rename, etc), and tell you which ones you are missing.
