So I got the sweet as hell new mame32 emulator, and I downloaded some games.
But for some reason, the games aren't being detected. I copied and pasted them into the "roms" folder, what am I doing wrong?
Thanks for the help. As usual, I NEED IT

First off, make mame do an "audit all games", located under the File menu.
Once that's done, in the column on the left, select "available" and you'll see which ones are available.
What version of mame32 did you get. I know you said "new mame32", but sometimes sites SAY they're new but they haven't actually updated for a long time.

I did the "aduit all games" and there are still no games available. I downloaded three different roms, and pasted them all 3 into the "roms" folder..... I should have the newest one-- I got it from your link.

You're not unzipping the files you download, are you? You need to leave them zipped.

The only thing is it looks like you can't save every game. But, I can't complain about a free program that offers tons of oldschool games. My fav game so far is the punisher game, lol. Like final fight, but with more weapons, and guns!
