RAM usage problems do not affect in any way your roms... these problem could have at most make MAME close abruptly when your whole RAM was full. no damage was possible to the ROMs (how could it be? they are Read-Only-Memory, so MAME does only read them... only external programs can modify or delete them )
anyway, MAMEUI 0.142 was released around a week after MAME 0.142 and it got the memory problem. OTOH, MAMEUI 0.142u1 has solved the problem.
of course, the suggestion is to update directly to u1, so that you can play games with no risk of the program closing due to insufficient memory
