Hi.
I have found some Japanese games for MAME, but they usually have only
one file. Next to them, it is possible to find European, American, or "World" versions,
which have more files...
How could I load in MAME Japanese versions? With one game I tried to download World version and add the Japanese version's file and change filename to the Japanese's
version, bu it doesn't work... Anyone knows how to do so?

What you probably have is a child rom. This is just the changed files necessary to run a different "version" of the game.

You need the "parent" rom, which is usually the World or US version, in conjunction with the Japanese rom, to play whatever game you're trying to play.
