You're wrong (and your post in in the wrong section where nobody will see it). All you need to do is update your ROMs. There were no games in .83 that aren't supported in 143u4.

0.83 is 7 years old, you're missing out. Emulation of several classics has been greatly improved since then. Real speech in Berzerk, discrete sound emulation in Phoenix and Donkey Kong, SEGA1094 decryption, the video and input system were overhauled etc etc. Plus MAME now emulates a CRT arcade monitor using high level shader language on your GPU.. and much much more that I don't remember.

It's very possible that triple buffering will work better for you in the latest version of mame as well.
