I don't know. I'm trying version 9.0 for windows with xp. (seventh one on the list), but I'm busy right now until later in the afternoon.
MacMame is so much easier. There's a user-friendly interface and none of this complicated command line junk.
If you feel like it, try installing a MAME frontend for windows.
