Hello,
I thought you could maybe help me with an issue:
I've noticed that newer versions of MAME require more files for a ROM to run than older versions. I know this has to do with newer and better dumps being available for that specific game. What I'd need to know now is the following:
What does this mean in reality for the game?
Let's take the first US version of the original "Street Fighter II" (sf2ua) as an example: Which noticeable differences are there between the ROM with the new files and the ROM with the old files?
Where can I get detailed information about the various versions of the ROMs and which MAME version supported which ROM version? For example, I'd need a website where I can search for the ROM name. So, when I search for sf2ua, the website should give me the following details:

Required files in old version:
sf2u.30a
sf2u.37a
sf2u.31a
...
Required files in new version:
sf2u_30a.11e
sf2u_37a.11f
sf2u_31a.12e
...
buf1
ioa1
...
Old version supported in mame0aaa to mame0bbb.
New version supported in mame0bbc to mameddd.
Fixed issues in the new ROM that didn't work right in the old one:
...
MAME versions that changed something for the emulation of that game:
mame0xxx: Fixed timing issues.
mame0yyy: Fixed palette issues.
Does something like that exist where I can search by ROM name instead of by MAME version?
