Tapper - won't load

[Fubster]

Hello - first time post, so if I've done anything wrong, please let me know.
I'm running MAME64 0.162 on my PC. I've downloaded several ROMs, some loaded without issue, some required MAME 0.133 BIOS Pack, and I had problems with Galaga but then found a post on here that had the fix, and it worked after I downloaded namco51 & namco54.
I looked for a similar post for Tapper but I could not find one.
MAME only reports that "The selected game is missing one or more required ROM or CHD images" - it does not tell me what is missing.
Any help would be appreciated!

MAME 0.133 BIOS Pack was never required it is out of date and will have issues with the current files in it with some of those being updated since it's release, but you can still get those individual bios zip's from our selection anyway

if you have a gui version of MAME and you use the audit option it will tell you what is missing and what folder it looks in (folders = zip files, it is just the way it does that)

I did have a quick look at the rom hosted here and it looks like all the needed files are inside the zip file though as they should be...

the tapper.zip file should just go inside the roms folder as I am sure you already know

It is possible you are selecting one of the sub roms instead of the master rom that is set 1 if you are you will need both tapper.zip and whatever the rom is for the version of the game you want to play e.g. set 2 is tappera.zip

tapper does not require any extra files unless you are playing one of the alt versions to the master rom

Thanks for the reply Zorlon! No joy yet.
For the record I did delete all the ROMs from MAME 0.133 BIOS Pack and all my other games played fine
I'm definitely not selecting a sub rom, the only tapper I've downloaded is tapper.zip, the one from the link in my first post.
I noticed a link on that page for "The highest rated Windows emulator for this game" and downloaded MAME 0.147 (64-bit), then only put the tapper.zip in the roms folder, nothing else.
I did find the MAME64 -verify option (is that what you meant by "audit"?) and got this result:

mac2bios : macs2os_l.bin (524288 bytes) - NOT FOUND - NO GOOD DUMP KNOWN
mac2bios : macs2os_h.bin (524288 bytes) - NOT FOUND - NO GOOD DUMP KNOWN
romset mac2bios is best available
romset pongf is best available
tapper : 82s123.12d (32 bytes) - NOT FOUND (midssio)
romset tapper is bad
h63484 : h63484.bin (256 bytes) - NOT FOUND - NO GOOD DUMP KNOWN
romset h63484 is best available
mb90082 : mb90082_char.bin (2048 bytes) - NOT FOUND - NO GOOD DUMP KNOWN
romset mb90082 is best available

So if I understand, this is reporting I am missing the 82s123.12d file? Where do I get that file and where do I put it? Is there another ROM I should have with that file?
Thanks again for your help in this matter!

JOY! I figured it out.
The "(midssio)" was telling me what ROM the missing file should be in (or where it expected to find it).
I found midssio added it to my roms folder and Bingo!
Thanks for your help, Zorlon, you gave me the info I needed to find the fix for my problem!

midssio.zip was it it was the only rom set that was just NOT FOUND without the sub description NO GOOD DUMP KNOWN that would of meant it does not exist in a usable form

and yeah for the option I just use a GUI version of mame that can do the same from an option actually called audit, instead of listing a folder it lists the rom zip in brackets by the looks of it
