So clones are useless without their parents. A clone is one of the other variations, and generally only contains the ROMs that differ from the parent set. It contains all the ROMs needed to play that variation. Many games saw numerous variations and revisions over their lives for various reasons (different copyright information for licensees, bug fixes, alternate maze/level layouts, illegal bootlegs, etc.), so the parent is what's considered the definitive version of that game. That said, I can tell you this much: parents are the "master" set of ROMs for a given game. MAME will recognize these sets accordingly, if the ROMs are named properly and are put in the ROMs folder where it can find them, and it will use the ROMs it needs for a given parent or clone automatically. They must have the parent set present in order to work.

It'd be nice if someone put together a really good website about getting MAME to run on a Mac now, but I'm afraid it won't be me. I still have a half-working version of MacMAME left, but nothing up-to-date. But I found the post-MacMAME variants of MAME so user-unfriendly relative to MacMAME, I simply didn't want to deal with them. I used to run, moderated the MacMAME message board, helped with the documentation and so on. Well I hate to disparage anyone's work, but this is precisely why I gave up on MAME after MacMAME bit the dust. I don't know why anybody would create it, if it's so hard to use. The MameOSX website does not offer a step-by-step guide to making it work. They're talking about clones and parents and stuff and I can't figure it all out.
