Just for the record:

My problem was:

I was using my rom DVD (from 2006) with mame 0.150.

On my DVD, there were a mame version: 0.104.

So I have installed that version of mame with all the rom and YES it work.

I had no clue the we had to use the good romset with the good emulator.

THANKS

 Yeah there's been a lot of changes since .104  -- eventually you may want to find a newer version to download (wouldn't suggest going through the update process as there is probably more to download that way than just getting an entire new set.)  :cheers:

Research CLRMAMEPRO - learn how to build a rom set to the version of MAME you are using.

You simply need to pair the romset (the collections of zipped rom files/games) with your version of MAME (Emulator).  For example, you need MAME 0.150 to run a MAME 0.150 romset.  MAME does not like other versions of romsets.  MAME 0.139 will not play MAME romset 0.150 and alternatively it is not meant for MAME version 0.150 to play a version 0.139 romset.  They need to be paired for there to be harmony in your cab.

Additionally MAMEUI is a great version to mess around with as it tells you which roms are actually functioning and what rom to use for each specific game.  Having said that, some roms need another rom (parent) to work properly.
