Now I am a bit clueless about what you want to do...
What does the titles dat have to do with binaries?
The "Titles" datfile is for the so-called title screenshot image collection which is shown in e.g. MAME32. It shows a picture of the game where the title is usually shown. It has nothing to do with game-titles, ie set binaries.

So..tell me again what you want to do.
