It would be a shame if beginners were scared away from this hobby because of jerkwad comments like this one.

**DO NOT ERASE VERSION 1 OF ANY ROM**
I've found that the version 2 rom often only includes the files that have changed since version 1, counting on the v1 rom to provide the unchanged files, probably to keep file sizes down.

Oh please. If this scares them away they never stood a chance to begin with.

Good luck playing pac-man.  ;)

Old-timers may be smart@$$es, but at least they have the right answers ...

CheffoJeffo:
Fritzy -- welcome.

Please do read the links that McCoy provided, also:

http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=19049.0

Much of what you want to know (including the answer to McCoy's 'O' 'K' question) is addressed in the MAME FAQ:

http://www.mame.net/mamefaq.html

and in the MAME wiki (as provided by McCoy):

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MAME#ROM_images

There is a lot of information already on tap and, as you can see, you won't always get the right answer from folks on the boards ...

Cheers
