I downloaded one of the other consoles romset that I was interested in, and found the 7Z problem.As I said above, I at first didn't notice the .1 in the #s, I was trying my best to only match the last two digits like a moron and have since fixed the problem/way of thinking!
I am laughing at this, this entire thing has been a frustrating learning experience. (Yea, I know I act like a total moron at times.)

@Jiryn I'm sorry but I'm out. You are asking for guidance and help and ignoring it when it is given. I'll say nothing personal, except I will no longer be responding to you. I genuinely hope you figure it out. Good luck.

I understand what you're saying, and I am looking for a compatible .ZIP Romset in the right form series for MAME.
That was the main discussion for the topic.The 7Z was related to a different console, and I was able to batch convert them from 7Z to zip, and they are working fine.
I thank you for your assistance here, I wasn't trying to sound belligerent.
I'm sorry for the confusion, I was working on two different topics at the same time in the same post.

I think I have quite a better handle on this..
Thank you to everyone, it was a trial and error learning experience and you all helped out.I apologize for today's questions, they were quick bouts of confusion which was quickly cleared up through research in experimentation, but I realize my replies only made it sound more confusing than it actually was.
ANyways, I'm closing the topic now.
Thank you to @columboscoat @dankcushions @batesman @markwkidd @mrbwa1 @rbaker@administrators @Global-Moderators Would an admin or moderator mind purging this topic, it seems quite a bit superfluous at this point.

I'm still having trouble tracking the .78
It's also sometimes referred to as the "MAME 2003 Reference Set". Download it, then drop the ROMs into
/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/mame-libretro/
and you'll be good to go. -
@mediamogul
Yep, starting to notice that as well.
When I said I found Rom Sets "Other Systems" I meant the other systems beyond MAME supported by RetroPi.So I wanted to see if the sets would work, and found the files to be all 7Z. Though I was able to convert the 7Z files and they work just fine now.

There we go.
Got a full working MAME .78 rom set, and a few other console rom sets setup and running!Seriously, thank you!
Your hints, tips and guidance was fully appreciated. -
Every time someone gets MAME working, they've joined a very unique brotherhood.

@batesman Every time someone posts a question about MAME I want to throw myself in front of a bus. Or them. Depends on my mood.
