Alright guys, I'm a little slow so bare with me. Back last summer, I downloaded mame 0.132 to my XP computer and everything worked fine. I messed with the command line stuff and everything was sweet. I don't remember downloading anything other than the official mamedev.org version, but when I double click on the .exe file it brings me to a blue screen with all my roms listed and i arrow through them to get to the one I want. This is the original version of MAME, correct?
Well, now I have the 0.137 romset and Do I need to update my mame.exe?
I assumed I did, so I downloaded version 0.137 double click the self extracting file. There is no mame.exe in the extracted. There are just a "docs" and "src" folders and "make file" and "what's new" file. What am I doing wrong? Can ya'll point me in the right direction for answers?
I've google searched and searched these forums, but didn't find anything on this problem. Help?

A little update, I've moved on to trying mame 0.138 now. I'm still not having any luck. When I extract it there is still no mame.exe. I can't get anything started without that file. Where do I need to look?

That's the official release. You want this: mame0138s.exe
Not the source file.

Incorrect.
"mame0138s.exe" is a 7zip compressed SOURCE archive. It is for people who compile their own builds or work with MAME.
For a usable, pre-compiled binary, download "mame0138b.exe". If you have a 64-bit operating system and CPU, download "mame0138b_64bit.exe". These are both 7zip compressed and will open up to the folder you choose when you double-click the downloads.

You didn't answer my question! The extra information is immaterial!
