AdvanceMame - an older version needed to run games?

[eggedd2k]

A lot of games i'm trying to load in AdvanceMame (latest version) dont run - i get messages about missing files etc.

does this mean I need an older version in order to get them working?

yes you can use an older version but its much better if you just update your ROMS to the NEWEST VERSION.

Or if you prefer Open Source / Linux-native / Command line:

what do you have to actually tell these programs to do though?? i've got clrmamepro but i cant find anything that mentions upgrading roms for advmame

you caN use the official MAME build of the same version of advmame you want to use.
