Title: AdvanceMame - an older version needed to run games?
Post by: eggedd2k on June 29, 2005, 06:40:26 am

A lot of games i'm trying to load in AdvanceMame (latest version) dont run - i get messages about missing files etc.

does this mean I need an older version in order to get them working?

yes you can use an older version but its much better if you just update your ROMS to the NEWEST VERSION.
