Nope. the drivers are remaining the same.  If you want to use romsets that line up with modern MAME sets, you can just change the romnames in the .ini files.  There will not be an updated ini file release set.

You can easily get the filenames for the romset you want to edit from MAME.  You can use its ROM audit function to get the filenames... from there it should be straightforward to map new filenames to the old ones... perhaps use the modern MAME source to help figure out which filenames are associated with which rom banks.

If you're really having a lot of trouble with it, I can help out, but the above sould give you all of the information you need to make the changes to the driver.ini files.

To be honest, I don't know why they changed around romset filenames.  That change makes no sense to me.  If they really wanted to help preserve the old arcade hardware (which is their main goal, according to their website) then they would have maintained the original filenames, which hardware maintainers have been using for years.  Regardless, if they would have gone to an external driver file format like the "Sparcade" emulator had before MAME was called "MAME" then it would be a non-issue... But that's neither here nor there.

sorry about the rant. ;)
