dl-1425.bin file

Hey folks 

Not entirely sure if this has been asked before - but I’m trying to load games using latest version of MAME and this particular file is proving very hard to find

It's most likely a file that would be inside either the rom file or a bios or parent rom required for the game to work.

I know. I’ve been trying to load two particular games that require this file. 
All the rom sets I’ve tried are lacking this particular file 

Although it’s been recommended I go to archive.org to obtain most roms for mame so I’ll try there next

For MAME builds later than 0.200 you need the device qsound_hle.zip containing the file dl-1425.bin

If you can't source it, check your MAME romset for qsound.zip and see if it contains the dl-1425.bin file.
If it does then make a copy of qsound.zip and rename it to qsound_hle.zip
I believe that qsound.zip is now obsolete but it's no harm to keep it.

Cheers for this 

I found that exact file online from a comment on Reddit - games work fine now

where does the qsound_hle.zip file go then?  i tried dropping in the rom folder, still getting the same error.

The only time you would ever be missing files like this is if you are using the wrong emulator version for your roms. My advice use the correct emulator version for your romset rather than trying to fix something that isnt actually broken.
