That is why some resources refer to an individual arcade game as a ROM (like people use to describe a zipped game cartridge ROM) while other resources refer to an individual game as a ROM set or romset.įor example, MAME 0.37b5 ROMs are required by the MAME4ALL emulator, but will not work correctly with the lr-mame2010 emulator, which requires MAME 0.139 ROMs. The tutorial uses a MAME 0.37b5 collection as well as a PiFBA collection (in the video version) to demonstrate the process. If you also have access to ROMs from a newer or older ROM collection you can roll forward or roll back your ROM version.

ROM collections for use with the MAME 2003 emulator should be validated against a MAME 0.78 DAT (such as the one found in its metadata folder).įor example, you can set ClrMamePro to filter your set based on a preference of USA ROMs then EUR then JPN.īoth of these DATs can be obtained, as available, from the DAT-o-MATIC on the No-Intro website.

If your goal is to have working ROMs, it is almost always simpler to download a full ROM collection that has already been verified to match the emulator you chose.ĭATs are usually maintained either by emulator developers (such as with MAME or FinalBurn Neo) or digital preservation organizations like TOSEC and No-Intro.Īlmost all DATs are volunteer efforts and represent one of the most important and impressive outcomes of the video game preservation community.įor example, the authors of RetroArch recommend that Super Nintendo Entertainment System ROM collections be validated against the No-Intro Nintendo - Super Nintendo Entertainment System DAT. It has been around for a long time, it is regularly updated and it is widely used.
