Because an old version of mame (0.35) I have with roms is causing trouble with my desktop, both on Win 7 and opensuse (Linux), I decided to install a newer version of mame, and went on the hunt for roms.
So I installed on openSUSE (Linux) MAME 0.185 from the official repositories.
First copied the old roms from MAME 0.35 into the rom folder, this does not work.
Then made a new folder ( in home ) and added that to MAME.
Inserted the roms there and again it does not work.
So I searched for newer roms and found a pack which should be for MAME 0.183. ( extracted pacman from it, into the rom folder )
Again this does not work, every time I try to start a game, MAME tells me there are roms files or chd? files missing.
What am I doing wrong?
I have been googling for days and I am confused.
Do I need update packs, to bring the 0.183 roms to 0.185 ?
Every page I find, tells me to copy the roms into the rom folder and it should work, but it does not.
Am I missing something?
