Looking for someone who is good with MAME and rom merging

So i wanted to play some shumps on mame
my mame install and rom collection was over 2 years old so i decided to wipe the whole thing and redownload the most recent set. I downloaded the following:
0.139 Full set (from here on WBB, had a log that proved that at least this set was complete )
0.139 to 0.140
0.140 to 0.141
0.141 to 0.142
0.142 to 0.143 (including updated CHDs for CPS3 games)
Newest stable release of mame plus 0.143 from emucr site
first of all i dont know how to reliably merge those updates into the fullset, tried to google for tutorials but they are more confusing than i can bother to experiment now.
at the moment i simply added each folder seperatly to mame which used to do the job.
Biggest problem i have is games missing files when trying to start them, one specific example:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Espgaluda – the game i would like to play
espgal.zip – the name of the zipfile
The game got supported in 0.141, so the espgal.zip is found in the 0.140 to 0.141 update. I get an error when starting that it is missing 2 files, i open the zip file and indeed only 6 files in it , correct total should be 8. I google for the zipfile, some sites show the same content as mine, some show the correct with 8 in it, i download it, replace the original and it works fine now.
Question is now did i simply download incomplete sets? would merging be the solution? though i cant find any zip files with the same name in newer updates.
I cant afford to redownload the 1.4GB update over and over from other sources till i find a good one.
Even games like street fighter 3rd strike that has the newest CHD and updates in that new update i get along row of missing files….
My brain is fried by the sun so i would appreciate it someone could point me in the right direction, do i need to merge , wrong sets, wrong settings?
thanks
EDIT : i tried CLRMAME rommanager, but not sure how to use it, i think if i use the mame 139 dat file or the mame 139 exe i could at least test if the 24gb 139 set i downloaded is really complete, but i am not sure if it could scan the updates to see which ones are complete before merging them…. any help is appreciated

Don’t know if you’re still working on this but…

That helped me learn how to use ClrMamePro.
Hope it helps you.
