Hello
I am having trouble finding old rom sets :( Found .36b which I know was good, but I would like a newer versions to see what each computer I haves limit is.

Is there a way to take a newer set of roms and use some software to roll it back? anyone advise?

thanks
Jim

Clrmamepro is the program to rollback a rom set.  You'll need not only your current rom set, but a set of rollback roms.  Clrmamepro is a little confusing so you may search for a tutorial.

Rollback roms are different than the old set.  The rollback roms contain all the changes through the years so you can take a new set and revert it back to ANY older set.  It's typically a large torrent.

Just search for them.  Whatever your pleasure (google, bing, etc), you can search for rom torrents.

the original pc i used for my cab was a PIII 666 oc at 750, 128mb ram, in dos.

as far as i can remember it ran most of the good 2d stuff at full speed (all neo geo, marvel vs capcom, etc)  with a few exceptions, NBA jam was always too slow and the big romsets like mslug3 took FOREVER to load (over 5 mins) and 3d games were out of the question.

but its still pretty damn sweet that u can run some awesome classics on hardware that belongs in the trash
