MAME roms won't load
-
Hi guys,
I am very very new to this. As in my pi turned up this morning!
I have managed to set up retro pie and i have managed to drop files from my mac into the roms folders for the different emulators. SNES & megadrive work perfectly. However haven't had any luck getting MAME roms to work. I managed to get Simpsons 4 player to at least load but then the retro style usb controller wasn't working at all. All the other roms try and boot and either just go straight back to the Retropie screen or i get an error screen as it tries to open the rom.
I need to be playing Final Fight right now! Would love some help. Thanks again in advance. -
@false_tooth You have not read the instructions. Mame is not plug and play. The instructions are detailed and are step by step. Mame requires that you read them.

You don't say what emulator you are using.
When you have read all that, read this...
