R-Type missing files - HELP ?

[TheDaddy]

Hey all , Been 8 years or so since I fired up my MAME cab. I have updated everything including the PC and installed latest version of MAME. I have tried to get R-Type to run but missing files and I cant for the life of me find them anywhere ! Dont suppose anyone has them handy ?

They seem to be linked to many M72 board games.

Files are :-



Thanks in advance,

Dave.

P.S Probably get shot but where can I get the latest rom set these days ?

Think i found it - Archive.org ??

If you create blank files of those names, does it boot?
They were undumped PALs, which it expected to be empty, unless things have changed.

Ah let me try , They are PLD's I think.

Works ok is version 249 but not in 256 !!!!

I get :-



The file size is suppose to be 279 so I will try to create at this size. Clearly not needed or it would not run in 249.

*** Edit tried and still does not work, Tried one at 2.17kb (2kb) and same ****

I was about to reply - yes, someone's managed to dump the PALs, so that's why it wants them now:
