Having Trouble getting This Mame rom to run...

[Paul Olson]

They changed the rom names in .133u1. If you have a rom named lifefrcej, rename it to lifefrcj. The roms currently available should have the new name. clrmamepro will fix this, but it might be easier to try renaming it first.

0.133u1: Renamed (salamanj) to (salamandj) and (lifefrcj) to (lifefrcej).

"Salamander (Version D)" is what you need (ROM name = "salamand.zip"). Salamander is the name of the original Japanese release, and it is the master ROM in MAME. Once you have that, your U.S. version "Lifeforce" should work as well.

Because there are people that just download from a rom website and then use them make their own site.
So if one of the original site had a corrupted rom there might be 8 or 10 rom sites with that bad copy,

Isn't that just blanking wonderful. That just says to me:
"Hey you guys, we got this problem, it should be taken care of right, now, but let's make it worse. Then it'll be fun for everyone."
(This seems to be the thought process at the place I work also)

YES! This was the fix. Thanks so much for your help. This forum is great. I've been looking for a place to discuss this stuff with people for some time now.

www.arcadecontrols.com is a much better website to discuss MAME related issues.

I don't see why people are so apposed to mame the project (software) around here...just think of what the hobby would be without it, impossible to play-test games before you buy them, roms would be harder to come by...it would be a mess

Don't hate the software, hate the mamer.
