Mame - slow vector games

[glonq]

I've got a fresh install of mame 0.127, and most games play great on my mid-range system (sempron + 2GB + geforce 6900). But vector games like asteroids are unplayable slow; single-digit frames per second. If I edit my mame.ini to use directdraw instead of direct3d, the game plays great.

So my question is: how can I have a game-specific setting in mame, so that only asteroids and a few other vector games use a different renderer?

Bonus question: my roms for various capcom games (captn commando, punisher, cadillacs and dinos) are busted in mame 0.127. What happened? (Yes, I've got the CPS1 and CPS2 bios files.)

Not sure about the Asteroids problem, it doesn't happen to me. As for the bonus question, the naming of the roms may have changed. What was the last version that worked for you?

According to MAWS, in 0.127, some additional rom files were added.

The roms and the MAME are both new to me, so I've never tried them together before.

The roms are just a few months older than the MAME version, so maybe something broke recently. I'll drop down my MAME version until I find one that works.

For the first prob, I found that mame will read vector.ini instead of mame.ini for vector games, so I made changes there and it's all good.

For the second prob, I found an online DB of mame changes. CPS-1 roms changed in 0.126u5, so that's why my 0.123 roms don't work in 0.127
