I'm new to clrmame. i've read a tutorial on it and used it a little. here's my question. I have a defender rom that was used with mame32 ver.90. i've downloaded the new version of mame32 ver 111.5 i think it is. that defender rom will not play in the new version. how do i remedy this? any help would be appreciated.

after doing some searching on the forums, it looks like i need to find new romsets to address this. is that correct? also, it seems that i have more games available to play using the new version of mame vs using the old one(when using both with the .90 roms) Why is that?

Romsets change from version to version. That's a fact. It's caused by all kind of reasons. Filenames will be renamed to match the actual IC on the board, overdumps get shortened to the correct size, baddumps get replaced with good dumps, parent/clone relationships change, PROMS and GALS etc are added.

So...clrmamepro will fix most common problems for you automatically, but if new files were added you need to have the file somewhere of course. clrmamepro can then add it automatically.
