The release of the MAME emulator for the GP2x was a great christmas present! Anyone know where I can get a list of the supported roms?

Yes it is, its actually in a file called gameslist. Sorry for the dumb question butthanks for setting me straight.
 
I am having a lot of problems with a lot of the games said to be compatible failing to load from ROMS i took from my 1.0 romset off my PC. Does it only work with the actual 0.34 romset images from back then? That might be difficult to find. :(

Yes, you need a romset for the correct version. Start here wtih EvilDragon's quick guide to converting, worked a treat for me: http://newbie.gp32x.de/gp32/mame.htm

HTH.

You may still have problems converting newer roms with clrmame, for e.g I had a version 91 rom and it still would not work once converted to v34, but a version 57 worked once converted.

66 percent converted now, thanks for the advice bud, I hope this does the job! 30% working game rate was making me :( but now I will be :D if all is well.
 
I can't seem to get any of the classic williams games to run, joust, robotron, defender, etc... everything else is mostly ok (except for some of the larger games dont have enough mem to load into.

Anyone have the williams games working?
 
I couldn't get Defender to run either, one of my favourite games!

I'm not 100% up on MAME history (apart from that fact that 0.36 has all my favourite games in, the Raizing and Cave classics), but didn't some of the older games have sound samples rather than emulated sounds at some point? ClrMamePro probably can't convert them if that's the case, but I'm far from sure at any rate.
