You need to use CLRMAMEPRO to downgrade your set.  You need to pick a "new" (or old) version to go down to.  You need the dat file from that version.  CLRMAMEPRO is has a steep learning curve but there are some tutorials that you can watch that really help out.

Depending on where you got your roms, you may find that the website has a FAQ section.  If so, you may find a tutorial there on using CLRMAMEPRO.   ;)

Hoopz posted the tutorial in one of your other threads you posted about the same topic.

Here's a tutorial that shows screen shots.  I haven't watched it all but it's supposed to cover it in depth.

http://www.cphsolutions.f2s.com/guides/cmprotutorial.htm (http://www.cphsolutions.f2s.com/guides/cmprotutorial.htm)

Or go to another site and look through the FAQs and there is one with screen shots and text showing what to do.  This link is a video/flash tutorial.  You'll watch it a few times or read the FAQ a few times to understand what to do.
