Vanilla MAME is pedantic. If you have version 0.120 of MAME, you need version 0.120 of the ROMs. If you try to load a ROM from 0.90, it errors out. The TNT Village repack bundled a specific, frozen version of MAME (usually v0.106 or v0.118, known as the "Golden Era" builds) with a perfectly matched ROMset. You clicked "Install," waited 40 minutes, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles just worked.
