Since there is no reason to stick around with old MAME versions, I don't provide any old flyers/etc. datfiles. In fact I don't even have them anymore since I usually delete the old ones completely. No idea if anymore got backups.

Different MAME versions -> different datfiles for miscartwork.

Well.....most names will be ok, but some gamesets got a wrong name and so the picture files have to be renamed as well....otherwise they won't appear in MAME32.

For Samples you can use the 'normal' samples check in cmpro's scanner....although this only checks the names, since no other information is provided by the mame binary.

You can check your collection with Logiqx's ImgChk for possible wrong names.
