were can i find mame games roms and how to install them?

Answer 1

Hello roland, To help you keep it simple and enjoy playing games Download MAMEPLUS! from http://mameplus.emu-france.com/... or just click this link its the source code for mame 0.108u4 http://mameplus.emu-france.com/download/...

Hint MAME can be a drive HOG! I have a external harddrive for my MAME program and files and sugguest it for others also, and I can take it with me to others houses or shhhhhhhhh (WORK).
Once you download the source code unzip it to a file named MAME or MAMEPLUS. It will unzip about 38 to 46 folders and files in that directory.
When you download roms place them in the roms folder in the ziped format. The mame program will use the game in the ziped format only.
Here are my best 3 download sights in order.
1)
http://www.efmovie.com/mame.htm...
2)
http://www.rom-world.com/
3)
http://www.romnation.net/srv/roms/mame.h...

REMEMBER ALSO:
Some games need BIOS and CHD files (placed in the roms folder) to operate. I also recommend to get the art work and bezzles (Placed in their own folders). Some games also have sound files to fix or add sounds to games with curropt sound files.

And the best Information for you is to read, read, read! Google MAME and read everything you can, it only makes it better for you, There are programes to add to mame to make it better and better.Also use the mame blog sights to find out more info, but first serch for your answers most questions you would have have already been answered and many of the bloggers get tired of seeing the same questions and answer with short useless answers.

GOOD LUCK AND HAPPY MAMEing
