Help getting several games to run on mame v0.184 for mac?

[ciffy]

Hey all, first time poster and I did search before I posted.

I'm running v0.184 (just updated last night from v0.153 as part of trying to fix this) and I'm trying to run several games. They're all simply giving me a "one or more required ROM or CHD image files are missing. Try another machine" error. 

Gem Fighter Mini Mix
Night Slashers
Vendetta

I also tried redownloading all of the games from emuparadise both before and after I updated. I got a message asking to overwrite them all, so they WERE there before and as far as I can tell were even the same versions I already had. 

I just did a little digging and it looks like maybe I'm missing some dependency images that those three particular games are based off of? Any way to see that info myself without having to ask?

thanks for any help you can provide!

Regarding Super Gem Fighter Mini Mix you can find some info here (you're probably missing a file or two) and Night Slashers is not correctly emulated yet(it works,but you need properly dumped files to run it without some problems).I'm not sure about Vendetta though at this point.

In regards to Super Gem Fighter, I believe that somewhere between the two versions you're using, the MAME team isolated some CPS2 BIOS functions and separated them into its own BIOS ROM. If I remember right, the ZIP file you'll need is qsound.zip but I can't find a useful MAME ROM database to search through anymore.
