Bio-Ship Paladin doesn't run in MAME 0.113u1

(I just posted about Xevious but figured this was technically a different topic--sorry if my assumption is wrong).

I'm trying to run Bio-Ship Paladin on MAME 0.113u1 (or MAME32 0.113u1) & I immediately get popped right back into the front end.  Its clone, Space Battle Ship Gomorrah, is marked as problematic on MAME32's list, but Bio-Ship Paladin isn't marked.

Any ideas on this one?

Thanks,

There were changes in .112u2.  Are you sure have a ROM later than .112u1?  I would run the command line version of Mame so that you can get an error message to troubleshoot with.

Howdy-

I opened a command prompt window & ran mame like so:
f:\mame\mame.exe f:\mame\roms\bioship & got the following error:
82s135.ic94 NOT FOUND
82s129.ic69 NOT FOUND
82s123.ic154 NOT FOUND
ERROR: required files are missing, the game cannot be run.


I looked inside the .112 zip file & it doesn't have those 3 files.
I looked inside my old .82 zip file (just for the heck of it) & it doesn't have those 3 files.
I looked inside a brand new bioship.zip file & it doesn't have those 3 files.

What am I missing here...?

Thanks,

Are you kidding ? If MAME says "NOT FOUND" for three roms, what do you think are you missing ?!

Your romset for this game is outdated. You need the new romset, where those three missing roms are included.

EDIT: Just checked for those roms. Don't think those are bios roms, so the "new" bioship-romset you found just seems to be one of the outdated sets. I think you'll have to keep searching for the newest romset.
