From the binary? Are you referring to the mame32 v98 executable? The ROMS can't be there because you legally cannot have the emulator and the ROMs together. I know you are trying to help but I'm getting more confused.
Let's back up....when I run Mame32 v98 and dbl click on say "Action Hollywood" which is one of the games that it says was added for v98 I get an error that says that the ROM cannot be found. So where does this ROM comes from? Does everyone just search around and upload them one at a time off the internet? If this is true, then I guess the the source of my confusion is that I thought the datfiles contained the ROMs and that was all I needed.
