ROFL THE WORD PENIS IS HILARIOUS!
How to check if Your MAME game is compatible, or how to know when to look elsewhere.
Hey, this guide looks familiar huh? Actually, it should be very similiar to the Neo Geo guide, except for 1 thing: if the CRC is different, there is nothing you can do about it with that ROM =)
Also, this is much easier than the previous guide, but this time it requires specific software.
Software Required: http://7-zip.org (or any other program that displays CRC inside zip files, this one is the best compressor that's free though)
Here's what you need to do: open up the clrmame.dat and the zip file of the rom in question using 7-zip or your program that can give CRC (from now on I'll just say 7-zip). Search for the game in question in the clrmame.dat file. Then maximize the window of the opened 7-zip file (I'm checking Athena BTW).
Check out what should appear in the right side of each of the zip files (if you can't see it, mess with the tabs if you don't see it by right clicking the boxes of the name of one and unchecking what you don't need):
And then look at the clrmame's CRC:
Compare and contrast the CRCs and filenames. If the filenames do not match but the CRCs match, you can just rename as needed by extracting the zip, and then renaming and rezipping. Otherwise, LOOK ELSEWHERE. You can't change anything at all in this, sorry =)
