well seems that the current ROMs listed in the downloads still are out of date and doesn't work.
I tried all forms of Marvel Superheroes and they all had missing files.

gives the error qsound is missing on a few of them and there is a whole list of missing files on the others.

The current roms are up-to-date.

There are already 5 threads asking for the qsound rom: https://www.retroroms.info/forum/?action=goto&search_result=1&text=qsound&type=msgs&forum=0&u=&disp=posts&start=0

I can't guess which other roms are missing in your set.

and as for missing qsound... if they don't work and require ANY files, they are not up to date.
if we can't download and play them on the spot, they DON'T WORK.
I suggest whomever runs that download link do a basic download of Mame 0.208 without any modifications then test each game out, if it doesn't play remove it from the download link OR provide a big patch in the main Mame Folder we can download that will fix the general Mame program so that all games will work with it.

not all of us that play PC games are programmers nor do we wish to learn programming to get the program to work and KEEP working. some of us just want to play the games and hate it when nothing works right.

Always nice to have a backup like BDA! For reference, these are the complete sets I'm curating in my collection:

What is missing in my collection:

- A bunch of older arcade ROMS, the subject of this thread
- PS2 Europe and Japan
- Xbox original, full set
- Daphne 1.0 videos, missing a few  
- Arcade on PC hardware. Got a bunch already, but far from complete.


That's it! After 22 years, I'm almost done with my 1950 to 2005 collection! :)

Hi fellas, 

Full time Mame beginner here. 

I have a problem, I want to play Dungeons and Dragons Shadows over Mystra or ddsom filename, and I downloaded a lot of different versions of ROM, even the ones from the newest torrent 226, but I always get the same error and cannot run the game. 

It says: The selected machine is missing one or more required ROM or CHD images. Please select a different machine. 
dl-1425.bin (24576 bytes) - NOT FOUND (qsound_hle ) 

Attached is Screenshot.

Am I doing something wrong? 

Thanks!

As it says, you need to download qsound_hle.zip and put it into your roms folder.

OK, I've literally tried everything... I'm using an old mame version (0.170), because of the graphic filter. Newer versions don't have it, I don't wanna update it because of that. I mean, it kinda does have "similar" graphic filters, but I don't wanna set it up every time I play a game. It's boring.

So I figured out the game was missing qsound.bin... If I place qsound.zip in the rom folder, it doesn't work. If I extract dl-1425.bin from qsound.zip and put it into one of the Capcom rom zip, it doesn't work. If I rename dl-1425.bin to qsound.bin and place it inside the rom.zip it works, but only on later versions of MAME (0.223, for example), but as I said, I need to run in on 0.170.

Is that even possible? Can someone help me?

Check the Rollback set.

https://bda.retroroms.info:82/downloads/mame/rollBack/MAME%20%28v0.185%29%20-%20qsound.zip

HI all, I just restarted using MAME what with all the free time we have now. My old HDD gave up the ghost a week or two back and the really old version of MAME i had gone with it. When I say really old, I'm talking 5 years in the past with no updates. So now Iv'e decided to move into the 21st century with all new ROMs and the new .220 patch but I keep having issues with the qsound.hle file not being able to load in my files. I checked online and they said to come here to download updated ROMs, but I am still having this issue. I see a lot of complicated solutions to this problem but I can't make head or tail of it. Can someone please simply explain to me what I need to do to get updated ROMs or a version of the software to run it?

Seems easy. Try to download those files from the mame romset: qsound.zip and qsound_hle.zip. 

Your games should work now.
