Due to the design of MAME , it is often confusing how roms ROMs work under it and whats what's needed. A single game may require numerous files inside its zip, samples for missing sounds, CHD (Compressed Hunks of Data), and biosBIOS. To help manage all these files , it is highly recommended to use a rom ROM management tool such as RomCenter or clrmamepro because without . Without all the required files and file versions , the game simply will not work.

A couple of important notes when When handling MAME files , do not rename the game files or unzip them. MAME requires each file to be named according to its database , or else it wont won't know where to look. CHD files need to be in your rom folder in its own directory with the same name of the CHD such as C:/MAME/Roms/gamename/gamename.chd.
