Not that im aware of, no. I have 1.0.2 running in c:\zinc on my PC and its using the rom set from my old 0.9 version - which is in another folder but still works.
The error still suggests to me that the file cannot be found (more likely) or is incorrect. Are you sure the rom files are in the rom directory inside the new version?
Also, are you running this from Windows command line or through a GUI? If you aren't already, simplify the process and just have Zinc, and the roms in a folder and run it from the command line.
