      Downloaded the bios as a zip.. unzipped

      Well for MAME, which is not an emulation of a console, nothing is ever unzipped.

      That is what I did for Sega and PlayStation and it worked fine..

      It doesn't mean that it will work for MAME. It's like saying I followed the instructions on how to use the Dreamcast emulator but this doesn't work for the Amiga emulator, why?...... What version of MAME are you using? Where are you placing the files?

      got some roms

      What roms? There are many different MAME rom sets. You should read through this before proceeding:

          The proper rom set for each version of MAME is referenced here. Make sure you also read through the link that @rbaker posted above, as it thoroughly goes over everything you need to know.

            When you say to "to make sure it's not the roms". It is the roms. There is not one set of roms. Also, by asking for links, you are in violation of the rules you agreed to when you signed up..
