![]() I've just updated our entire MAME section to MAME 0.139. Split and Merged sets are basically hacks to reduce bandwidth consumption at the cost of the archive integrity of clone/child ROMs. Non-Merged sets, like the preferred No-Intro and Redump sets, represent ROM files that are fully intact from an archival standpoint.Non-Merged allows them to add an individual game ROM without having to worry about tracking down its parent file as in a Split set. Non-Merged sets are easiest to work with for users who do not want to install a complete FBA or MAME set - probably most users.Complete non-merged sets for FBA 0.2.97.38 and MAME 2003/MAME 0.78 are readily available and in fact come up higher in search results than the Split and Merged sets in circulation. ![]() ![]() Whatever arcade sets are preferred should be complete and as readily available as possible.As with the Atari 2600 ROMs, I'll try to describe the reasoning for this request: I would like to make a heartfelt request, like when I posted about the Stella / Atari 2600 database, to either add to or replace the existing Arcade database entries. I know that there has been a lot of activity and discussion about the database, and that some entries have already been added for MAME and FBA.
