Thanks. I needed the .sym because I can get the report. If it continue crashing on a game then least I know what build it started at. After the official is release then I will tested that game again. If it still crashing then I will report from the Official build.

By the way. I'm talking about a game that crashes MAME.

Adding these to my notes.
