| Tomodachi:
I'm trying to find out if an older MAME version will run the newer MAME roms. For example: I have roms for version 114. Will those roms work on say MAME version 1.0, .98, .89. etc.? Is there a cut off where it will work on some older MAME versions, but only to a certain point? I have a spare PC (PIII, 500mhz) that I would like to use for MAME, but I think I'll need to run an older version of MAME for best performance. I only have roms for version 114. I'd like to be able to use these instead of hunting down older versions of these roms. |

You should be able to use clrmame to downgrade your roms to work on a previous version. http://www.clrmame.com/ Guide on how to use it http://www.mameworld.net/easyemu/clrmameguide.htm |

Backup your 0.114 set first, though!!! |

Would this work for Tempest? I cant seem to get that ROM to work with MAME .111. I guess there's a file missing in the ROM that I have, but I cant seem to find a ROM that has the entire file set or just the missing the file on its own. |
