I'm using a 450mhz Athlon and have had good results with a .55 set so far.  I haven't played much, but it seems to run most games fairly well.  You'll be even better off of course.

Where did you find an Athlon 450? The slowest Athlon was a 500, and even those are pretty rare.

yeah, its a K6-2 I think actually.  It's been a long few weeks and my brain is pretty much mush.  Thanks for catching that.

Ummm, Paige said about 5 replies up to use .55 to .65.  I would trust him on this.

You can always run one of these versions for the majority of games and use 0.79 only for the games that were added.

Your ROMS are most likely find b/c of the following hypothetical example:

For MAME 0.55, the devs think ROMset A has only 5 roms:

For MAME 0.60, the devs find a new ROMset A board with two additional roms.

But MAME only checks for the roms it needs, so the 0.60 ROM will work with 0.55, but the 0.55 ROM will not work with 0.60

etc.

Of course the dev's also randomly rename stuff which ClrMAME can help with.

Thanks everyone ...now onto the build

But how does one go about checking older non-xmlinfo versions with ClrMAME?  I can't find old datfiles..?  Have an old PC and a smaller HD and wanted to put only useable roms on it, but can't rebuild my romset to an older version..  Is that even possible?

(sorry to hijack the thread...)

ClrMAME builds it's own datfiles from the MAME executable.  I assume it can still handle .txt MAME executables, with the new version.  If not you might need to E-mail Roman or use an older version of ClrMAME.

It should be possible.
