Never unzip arcade ROM files; MAME is designed to read them as compressed archives.

Even a perfect 0.139u1 archive can have problems due to operating system changes.

The 0.139u1 release, originally from around 2010, represents a specific state of the MAME source code and its corresponding ROM database. Because MAME updates constantly, developers sometimes pick a stable version to port to platforms like Android or low-power handhelds (e.g., the Powkiddy V90).

A downloaded archive is a snapshot of history. However, to verify that your is pristine, you need the official DAT (Datafile) for that version.
