Mame 0.180 (64 bit) won't run any roms

Hey all,

I recently got the latest binary download for Mame (as you can tell by the title) and I downloaded some roms that are compatible with it. However it will give me an error saying that I'm missing one or more rom or chd images for every rom except two of them. I have two previous versions of Mame, and the most of the roms run on them just fine. Here is what's in my rom folder:

3ga000.chd
cap-3ga000.chd
cap-33s-2.chd
kof98.zip
mvsc.zip
neogeo.zip
qsound.zip
sf2hf.zip
sfa2.zip
sfa3.zip
sfiii2.zip
sfiii2n.zip
sfiii3.zip
sfiii2n.zip
ssf2.zip
ssf2t.zip
ssf2xj.zip

They're pretty good dumps; I just don't get why the majority don't run on the latest mame version and do run on older versions. I'd appreciate any help!

Nothing much to really say here. If you miss any files that MAME expects then it throws a fatal error. If you try running sets with command line it can be a bit more lenient.

Use commands [-verifyroms neogeo] and [-listroms neogeo] compare the output to what you have locally.
