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says you are missing files, then either you're trying to run a clone set without having the parent set, or you have outdated (and therefore incomplete) ROMs or you're missing a system BIOS set.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.

Read this to learn about ROMs and the concept of parent/clone relationships:
