I'm trying to play a ROM hack of an existing MAME game, but every time I try to play it in Bizhawk, it throws out an error stating that all of the files have the wrong checksum. Is there any way to bypass this, like in MAME-rr?

How do you normally load it in regular MAME?
Warning: When making decisions, I try to collect as much data as possible before actually deciding. I try to abstract away and see the principles behind real world events and people's opinions. I try to generalize them and turn into something clear and reusable. I hate depending on unpredictable and having to make lottery guesses. Any problem can be solved by systems thinking and acting.

It refuses to boot for the same reason (incorrect checksum). I guess that it isn't possible to play this ROM hack in BizHawk then. Strange, because the download page for the ROM hack also came with a version of MAME-rr that ignored these checksum warnings...
