TL DR After struggling for weeks to get MAME ROMs to load correctly I finally stumbled upon a no bs answer here on Reddit and finally got my ROMs to work, which inspired me to update the official GitHub Wiki.ĮDIT: Some simple, and great advice from comments below. I modified the table to remove the useless "BIOS extension" column where each entry was ".zip" and added a paragraph with an example showing exactly what you need to do to get a MAME ROM working (along with a few other improvements). So, I updated the Wiki with some information that I think will really help others and would have helped me when I was struggling. Why didn't the main GitHub Wiki have a simple example like this? It could have helped so many others that came before me. I was finally able to get Metal Slug working! Finally! FINALLY!!! Reboot Emulation Station and the roms will appear. Just copy them all if you're not sure what does what, doesn't take up a ton of space.
