First I'll start off with the fact that I know the legal ramifications regarding ROMs and ROM downloading. This post is not a request for ROMs.
Now, I installed MAME 0.175 and am testing all of my games. I have ROMs that are from a full set I managed to find for MAME 141. So naturally, to me anyway, as I'm testing 175, I am noticing some games just refuse to work...even though they did before.
Sometimes the game just won't start or the game will start, the screen will go black for a second and then mGalaxy pops back up.
Has anyone else experienced this before? I'm guessing it's because my current ROMs in these cases are just too old now for MAME 175?
Unfortunately, what I'm finding on all the sites I know of is not fixing the issues. My guess is that these popular sites are too old as well and that I somehow need to track down 0.175 compatible ROMs?
Again, if I'm right, I'm not looking for anyone to break any rules and name sites to get 0.175 ROMs. I will cross my fingers and hope I can do that myself. I'm just trying to confirm (or not) that my issues w/ these games indeed are coming from out of date ROMs.
