Re: .dat files / .dat.zip files ???

You can find them at the top right of this page.

The first two are:

Quote:


1) Do NOT request OR post roms, rom sites, missing files, chd's, rom/chd diffs, or bios's. And don't private message people you don't know asking for them either. It's both illegal & annoying, and won't be tolerated.

2) Do NOT request OR in any way discuss warez/warezing, cracks, keygens, ISO's, etc.




Basically we can't talk about where you should get your ROMs or how. We can help your about how you can audit your ROMs, yet you would get better support about that on the official ClrMAME forum.

Addressing to some of your questions I should add:
- ClrMAME audits with either an independent dat file or an XML file generated from a MAME executable program. It doesn't help you to download ROMs.
- ClrMAME reads compressed files (.ZIP, .7z, .RAR), so it doesn't matter if you drag a compressed file or a XML file as long as it's valid.
- People usually audit their ROMs first so they can save transfer bandwidth and avoid duplicated or unneeded files taking space.
- If you can't find seeds about an older version of MAME, your best choice is to audit your ROMs with the desired version and grab the missing files from a rollback collection. You'll need a ROM manager for that.
