Wow! how is one to keep up with this stuff ?

This is one of the biggest problems that MAME noobs face, trying to keep a complete MAME rom set and update it with every MAME release.

Generally speaking, for most cases there is no need to update MAME and it's rom set with every release. Without going into detailed information, get a set working and don't update unless you need to. (Cases like specific NEW game added, or improvement in a specific driver for one of your games.)

For example, the mame_2003_plus core in Retroarch is based on Mame 0.78, yet you'll find it plays the majority of the popular games of the 80s-90s well.

If you do want to try to maintain and update romset with every release, a rom manager like ClrMamePro is essential and will do all the hard work of updating your romset without redownloading complete sets.
