Welcome to the forum.
If MAME says you are missing files, then either you're trying to run a clone set without having the parent set, or you have outdated (and therefore incomplete) ROMs or you're missing a system BIOS set. Sometimes a game hasn't been fully dumped but there is a specific warning screen for that.
You can use the command line parameters -listroms and -verifyroms (or the audit function in your MAME front-end) to find out what you need to look for.
Find the missing files (duh) Using an older version of MAME can make this difficult. 0.154 is nearly four years old.
