Okay, I found a proper 0.139u1 dat file, if I'm to understand correctly, the only thing CLRMamePro will do is take all the romsets I have and make them playable, but it won't add any files that it can't find from other roms. To do that, I need some sort of "rollback" file.

I've found a rollback torrent for everything up to the latest 0.152 version. I told my uTorrent to only download everything up to 0.139u1. Would you be so kind as to guide me through how to use CLRMamePro to take these rollback files and fix all my outdated ROMs to work with my 0.139u1 emulator?

PS thanks for bearing with my noobishness, answering my questions, and not telling me to "go read the such and such"!
