I got mame to load but it says searching for rOMS please wait and never starts. What am i doing wrong and what roms does mame play.

do u have roms for mame, if u dont thats why is doing that, but if u have roms try to put the roms where the info file says to put them at.

i thought mame played alot of different roms types.

no, mame can only play mame and neogeo games

thanks i'll give that suggestion a try.
