I was on the Internet Archive and they had a link to download a version of MAME with supposedly complete ROM sets. So i downloaded expecting to find a complete...Low and Behold it was not a complete set. Why is MAME so difficult to find working ROMS for? I mean NFL Blitz I'd love to play or anything recently as Run N Gun NBA on NBC....Just some examples.

This is sort of a RANT and Question...IS it possible to find complete sets?

Thanks

We have complete sets split up into parts for some of the most popular sets. Take a look here :-

For any given set you may need to download multiple files and then decompress then to make the entire set. This is due to neding to avoid massive single files. I hope this helps a little.
