: It supports custom "CD Audio" soundtracks for classic games like Double Dragon , which were never possible in the original 0.78 version. Choosing Your ROM Set Type
If you are looking to build your own set, you need to search for a "torrent set" labeled "MAME 0.78 ROM Set (Full) + MAME 2003 Plus update pack." The "Plus" update pack is usually only a few megabytes, overlaying the base 0.78 set.
However, the "Plus" indicates that contributors have backported support for over 350+ additional games, improved input handling, and added features—such as high-score support and CD-quality audio for certain games—that were not present in the original MAME 0.78 or the standard non-plus MAME 2003 core. Why Choose MAME 2003-Plus?
