OK, I have an answer and a question. If you go to http://www.romcenter.com/ you'll find DAT files there. There are however different types and this is my question - can anyone tell me the basic differences between the naming conventions, do they make any difference?

romcenter uses a slightly different format. Lazarus uses the clrmamepro format which is essential the format mame uses to generate -listinfo information. There are utilities that can convert between these formats. See http://caesar.logiqx.com/
uptate: sorry I am still a bit sleepy ;-) the utilities are on the homepage: http://www.logiqx.com/
