add mame 32 games?

Question

how do i do it cause when i extract the folder with the rom data the put the extracted folder in the roms folder it says files are missing when i try to start the game any help would be nice

Answer 1

First off you leave rom, bios, and chd files zipped. You place these zipped file in your roms folder in your mame directory.

look at it this way some games only require a rom. others require a parent rom along with and additional rom. Then there are games like the NEOGEO ones that need Bios files along with the rom files. And lastly there are chd files that the newer games like area51 need along with the rom files. You can also read that if the game says "This game does not work properly and you will not be able to make it work" sums the games playability up.
