What i try and load Vampire Hunter 2 (or any ROM file that I've download from ROMnation) using MAME, the game doesnt load becuase the files dont get found. What should I do?

search for the missing files on google, and if you can find them, download them. otherwise, check a rom-related torrent that might have the game. hopefully you'll be able to find them there. happy vampire hunting.

Get a program like Romcenter to check your roms to make sure they are the correct version.

....Ok i checked the zip I had, but it doesnt seem to be the right files. Do I have to rename them in order for them to work? Or did i just not download from the right place?

Chances are you downloaded a earlier version of the set, which has since had some files renamed or changed.
You can manually rename them, there are utilities for that. Look for any MAME ROM tools that do auditing and checking (like ROMCenter, ClrMamePro is another).
Downloading them again is an option, try to find a website that has up-to-date sets. Can't think of any URL's off hand. :-)

I managed to get the commando prompt to work, but a message saying that the file doesnt work properly pops up. Do i have to download the clone for vhunt2 in order to get the main file to work?

I was wondering about this as well since I been trying to play the old arcade version of Ninja Gaiden. Does anybody have or know if there is a working rom for the latest build of mame? thnx

Well, this could be one of two things: either A)You have an older version of the game or B) You have a clone and not the parent game. Anyway, if you need more help msg Turdis at #niobium-roms on efnet

Google isn't much of a help with this, I know - Playagain used to have every MAME ROM out there, you might want to check that URL occassionally (now and then they flicker in and out of existence for prolonged periods of time).
