I can't remember which version of the Mame roms it needs - it was either 0.36 or 0.56 . Different versions of Mame are often incompatible with different romsets. Also Wowmame only supports certain games although quite a few!

SO it gets more clear now....
Mame games are coming in two versions.0.36 and 0.56 right?
Whats the difference between these two versions?
Newer games and older mame games?

No, MAME games come in many versions up to the current - some romsets will work in multiple different versions of MAME which is now above 0.96 and onto the strangely versioned V0.101.
You just need romsets that are compatible with version 0.36 of MAME to work in Wowmame.
