Mame installation in RetroPie (HELP)

[mitu]

If you used the documentation to perform a manual installation, then the MAME/Arcade emulators are already installed, you just have to copy the ROMs to their place and then restart Emulationstation - they'll appear in their respective systems (Mame/Arcade).

No, he doesn't detect my roms

Where did you copy them ? How are the files named ? Can you give some examples of ROMs you copied and where ?

[A Former User]

the rom files are, bombjack.zip and pitfall.zip

[mitu]

I couldn't find any MAME rom named pitfall.zip, though there is a bombjack romset (http://adb.arcadeitalia.net/dettaglio_mame.php?game_name=bombjack&arcade_only=0&autosearch=1).

Are you sure these are MAME roms ? Which folder did you use ?

If you'd like to help you diagnose and fix the problem, you'll have to provide more info - see my last questions.

One reason the roms don't show up could be the Option "Parse Gamelists Only" in Emulation Station's Main Menu -> Other Settings (Screenshot). It should be set to OFF to see every zip file in the rom directories in Emulation station. If they will run, however, depends on the correct rom/emulator combination, see https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Arcade/.
