mame version, rom version
« on: March 22, 2008, 06:00:08 pm »
Is there a way to know what version of mame your roms will work in?
Thanks, Dave

Not really other than trial and error by doing an audit/clrmamepro check against different builds of mame. Romsets themselves don't have anything that says "I'm valid for mame version x".

You can sort of do it by hand, too.  MAWs lists the needed files and their expected CRCs; or you can look in the mame -listxml output.   ::)

Whether you go by hand or cmpro, the nice thing about MAWs is it lists when the rom set made changes.  Then you only need to check a mame between those versions rather than all versions of mame.
