Honestly, most people just call it good if they own the PCB in question; nobody's going to be able to tell any binary difference between a downloaded MAME set for a game and a self-dumped one that you gave the proper filenames to. System 12 (which TTT runs on) is a fairly advanced board, meaning the ROMs are surface-mount and therefore 1) difficult to cleanly detach from the PCB and 2) *extremely* difficult to re-attach to the board afterwards. Guys like Guru can do that stuff like it's not a thing, but for the rest of us it's a giant pain in the butt.
