Stupid ROM Question (not a request)
javeryh:
I have a stupid ROM question - it's not a request or anything like that. If I have xmvsf.zip, for example, what are the xmvsfa.zip, xmvsfb.zip, etc. files for? They are significantly smaller than the "original" xmvsf.zip file. Thanks.
SirPeale:
They're 'clones' ie other versions of the same game, say the version released in Korea or Japan or the US. Those are that particular releases ROMs.

Thanks, so I'm assuming for something like xmvsf you need to have the "original" (large) file and the smaller file to run the "clone" game?

Yup

THe smaller file contains only the rom chips that have different data than the main release.
In mame the last version released is always considered the parent rom, no matter which version is most common.
