That's me!

Just play your games, if something is acting wacky - you know why...

I wish they would just standardize on the ROMs - the PCB hasn't changed, why change the ROM? I think they should bundle any changes to the version of MAME, that's what requires it anyways. Just make a COMPLETE dump of the pcb, and be done with it...

That's really easy to say but not that easy to do.  For one, there's lots of things on the boards that people never even considered dumping when the board was originally dumped, like color proms.  Then there's more than one way to dump roms which sometimes results in ROMs that are double the size they should be.  Then there's damaged ROMs that cannot be dumped, and let's not forget good ROMs that get dumped wrong and nobody realizes it until much later when the game is actually emulated.  Oh, and there's those ROMs that have to be trojaned out of the board.  Any one of the above situations can result in ROMs being added, removed or changed in a set.

In practice, most of the changes to the MAME sets involve adding new clones and re-naming existing ROMs with more accurate names or to shift them around when a new "parent" version is found.

So nobody on the MAME team is just "changing ROMs" for the fun of it or to make your life difficult.  There's always a really good reason.

I'm sure there is a good reason - I'm also sure there's a better way...
