Roms, Emulators, Pyros, Mame, and so forth.....?

Question

There's this awesome arcade game called Pyros that I played a while ago. I thought it would be col to download it. I downloaded the Rom but it needs an emulator, right? So I downloaded MAME which I think is an emulator for arcade games, but it won't play Pyros and I'm frickin confused, Help?

Alright, I'm doing it but it gives three download options: Binary, Mame Source Code, and Mame Source Code Changes. Which one should I download

Answer 1

Sure MAME allows you to play Pyros.

This is the game right?: http://www.klov.com/game_detail.php?letter=P&game_id=9181

If you are using a windows based computer get MAME32 it is a lot easier to use and understand. Second you need the rom for Pyros. It is a rom by the same name.

You can get it at either :

once you download the rom keep it zipped and place it in the roms folder in the mame folder example(C\mame\roms\pyros.zip) the rom is only 49kb.
