MAME Version .119

[EMABrad]

I'll keep this short and sweet. The ROMs that I have I KNOW work for version .119, because it works on Windows. NONE of them work for .139 (they're all missing something or another), OR I'm just doing something wrong, so I want to get .119, but I just can't find it.

They're Neo Geo ROMs, and I have the Neo Geo BIOS. Help/suggestions?

I googled a bit and wasn't very successful... Have you tried finding the newer ROM versions? That usually helped me.

[EMABrad]

I've tried, but I don't know where or HOW I could get "new" ROM versions. I'm aiming for primarily the Neo Geo fighting games.

When I run "mame -verifyroms kof2002", for example, I get the following:

Basically every single thing that could possibly be wrong is wrong.

[EMABrad]

It basically says that for every ROM.

Solved! I apparently had an old Neo Geo BIOS. If anyone else has this problem, the new BIOS can be found here: http://rghost.net/2341022
