Yes, but the most current is the most supported.  1.74 is the current non beta full release I think.

Mala can launch anything but was designed with MAME in mind.

As far as I know and have experienced, Mala will run any version of MAME. MAME is the primary emulator for Mala.

I'm currently running the newest BETA version of Mala with MAME v.145. Works great!

Yeah. Probably MAME. Either your PC is too slow for the Rom/game loaded or you have a mismatch of Rom & MAME version. Likely NOT Mala. Mala just runs the emulator. It doesn't change anything with the emulator.

Run Mame from the command prompt (more on this here: http://mamedev.org/devwiki/index.php/FAQ:Running)

if it fails, it will tell you if your missing sets in your Roms etc.
