I am a big fan of this, but I'm also a completionist and it always frustrated me how difficult it was to get a complete collection that was also up to date with the latest mame. Fire - the reason it won't load is that the version you have is not the latest release. It's funny but a MAME rom isn't complete when you get it. The get updated with each MAME release and thusly olders ones are not compatible with newer versions of MAME

Also, I never figured out the CHD files and all that business. Getting it all together is no easy feat. There is no place that has everything at once in the latest formats. Even if you go for the MAME torrents, it's all a mish mash of shoddiness and some of the more complete ones push 60GB and you don't even know how current they are.
