Actually, you just have to look and see which romset is designated by MAME as the main one, then download that.

For example, if the World romset for a game is the main one, just download that instead of all the clones.

You may want to rethink that link, Neko...

Anyway, they ARE available on a variety of P2P protocols. Check for a site whose name includes said emulator and part of a nuclear plant. And a .net.

Oops... I forgot about that, Colin. I guess I posted it because this is an Emulation forum...

Oh, I finally got it working, I didnt know I needed to down load the usa, jap, and world versions.

So, how do I get it to recognize my playstation controller? Im trying EZmame and Mame 32 but none of them seems to wanna use it. I got one of those playstation controller adaptors. If I cant use it on here refer me to a emulator that will. Thanks.

At one point they were "off" but still on... Don't think that's the case anymore but you never know.

I know of a few MAME sites but one of them might be down now.

Yeah, MAME ROMs are a bitch to find, since they got taken off of mame.dk. \

At least, they WERE off mame.dk. Hope they still are...

Now the next step is finding the freaking Roms.

I swear...I haven't had any problem finding roms, except when it came to the MAME roms.

MAME32 has a very nice interface, with all the games listed, you just click on the one you want to play, as long as you have the file of course. Its that simple!

Because I'm lazy as hell, though, I use EasyMame as a frontend. Works quite nicely, although I was used to Arcade@Home. I don't even miss AAH's ROM downloading capabilities, either (which is good because it hasn't been updated in years, and there were sites back then to directly download).

I'm pretty sure I just pair that with a standard MAME binary, too. It's all you really need.

Which isn't really a problem, due to the handy document that accompanies the emulator (Okay, I'll admit I had a problem with Pacman/Puckman)

You'd probably want to look for MAME32 (I think it's what it's called). There's a DOS version just called MAME, but it's a bit of a pain in the ass to use. Mainly because you need to know exactly what the ROM is supposed to be named in order for MAME to recognize it.
