Still struggling to get MAME ROMs working? Here is the answer, and it's simpler than you think.

Like many other poor souls not privy to MAME ROMs and emulators I struggled to get my ROMs to work. It seemed like every time someone tried to explain it on a forum or blog post I left feeling more confused or discouraged, so I put it off. It's one of the most confusing parts of RetroPie.

Finally I came across this helpful Reddit post that had a no bullshit answer and actual instructions of what to do and where to place the files.

EDIT: Here it is summarized below. For more details use the link to the post.

1. Find a 0.78 MAME romset.

2. Copy the roms you want over to the mame-libretro folder

3. Copy the bios files in the romset over to the /home/pi/RetroPie/BIOS/mame2003 folder. Just copy them all if you're not sure what does what, doesn't take up a ton of space. Include the samples subfolder. Reboot Emulation Station and the roms will appear.

I was finally able to get Metal Slug working! Finally! FINALLY!!!

Why didn't the main GitHub Wiki have a simple example like this? It could have helped so many others that came before me. So, I updated the Wiki with some information that I think will really help others and would have helped me when I was struggling. I modified the table to remove the useless 'BIOS extension' column where each entry was '.zip' and added a paragraph with an example showing exactly what you need to do to get a MAME ROM working (along with a few other improvements).

TL;DR After struggling for weeks to get MAME ROMs to load correctly I finally stumbled upon a no bs answer here on Reddit and finally got my ROMs to work, which inspired me to update the official GitHub Wiki.

EDIT: Some simple, and great advice from comments below. 2 approaches: (1) To save yourself the headache of wondering whether you have the right files, try downloading the full romsets and throw those in the arcade directory. (2) Copy samples and BIOS into proper directories, then if filesnames have similar names such as game1a.zip, game1b.zip, etc. and make sure you keep these together.

EDIT 2: About the mysterious 'samples' directory, thx /u/wotan: There's a folder called samples in the romset that contains sound files for games. Just copy the entire thing over to /home/pi/RetroPie/BIOS/mame2003/samples/

EDIT 3: It just dawned on me that a FAQ and TIPS sections on the GitHub Wiki MAME section would probably be really helpful. I will try to compile common questions and answers tonight as a start. More important: those with knowledge of these things should contribute to the Wiki so the RetroPie community needs it and can certainly benefit from it.

EDIT 4: Removed a link.
