Hahahahah. A lot of good humor here. I was thinking I might earn a prompt ban, simply for posting here instead of the clrmpro forums.
A-nyways. I haven't used it for recent MAME, only for older versions, mostly .69 or .37 . I have in most cases tried to use MAME32, but I think I tried [a fresh copy of] baseline, and had the same issue. So I asked somewhere else about it, and they said to manually create a DAT. I added it, and that allowed my profile to be loaded.
I rebuilt (the focus here is on stunrun), but they still didn't work. I think I had all the sets for that version, but I was still getting roms missing errors when loading the game. So maybe that was it. But it was still involved.
I've rebuilt sets over the years, and had issues, but I think have succeeded. This time was just a nightmare. I'll try again, and see what happens.
((Current MAME should be handled like torrent files are handled, with the addition of reading an ini. So, you press 'update', and it does only your sets.))
Consider it high comedy....sincere tragedy....whatever...don't take it personally.
