Everyone seems to want to run the latest version of MAME, even as cool things like hiscore.dat are stripped, the added games are junk and the older ones are slowed to a crawl.

I'm using .99 (not even that old) on a Pentium 3 and it runs stuff like Metal Slug at correct speed (slowdown in same spots at originals). Its amazing that you jump a few revisions and you need a 2ghz P4 to run Asteroids correctly.

Red:
Can you use the latest MAME ROM set .118 on the older versions of MAME?

I have an older computer that I'd like to set up MAME on, but I only have the latest .118 MAME ROM set. 

If not, is there any place to get an older MAME ROM set?

Thanks.

Katana Man:
Mame isn't usually the problem, it's some of the other EMU's that require the horsepower.

Apollo:
I'm still using mame .86 if anyone can give me a good reason to upgrade feel free.

DaveMMR:
Your best bet would be to check the FAQs and/or Readme files of the emulators you want to use and see what they recommend.  Obviously, you want better than the requirements of the most demanding emulator.
