MAME romset versions?

[Floob]

Hi,

Does anyone have a pointer on appropriate romset versions to use with MAME and FBA?

I know mame4all likes 0.37b5, thats fine, but which would be suitable for these?

hmm, I have read this, I’ll try it:

Gngeo-Pi is compliant with roms set of mame 0.138.

AdvMAME uses 0.106

[proxycell]

the main reason those get “ignored” lately is because you can’t exit them as readily as other emulators with a gamepad/controller right?

[Floob]

gnGeo exits quite nicely (bring ingame menu up and exit from there with joypad)

Not sure about AdvMame though – I need to try it out.

[Floob]

Fairly sure the FBA version uses romset 0.2.96.71 due to the dat file it comes with

rename to .dat
