make a rom folder in your mame folder on the root of your sd card. then put your roms zipped in there.

[Centrix]

do you have a picture 3? what i mean is what's inside the rom folder?

[bm123456]

also read your "config.txt" on your SD card it will tell you the path and proper names the emulator is looking for .

[Centrix]

I have two games inside both are zipped

[OriginalHamster]

Are you running mame from the same SD or USB?

[Centrix]

I'm using the SD card and heres what the mame.ini looks like guys:

no wonder... no neo geo games work for this emualtor your better of trying that geogx emulator for this.

[Centrix]

um metal slugs where in the arcades the ones I have are for mame!

[bm123456]

http://code.google.c.../downloads/list use this one from Blizzo to play Neo Geo games ,, it works great from sd ,, You can get a great forwarder from Mastershoes thread that will work great with it from your sd card as well.
both tested by me .

I am having the same issue as the original OP. The games I have in my folder are MK and MK 2. Both are zipped files. Help!! I would prefer to run from USB but right now I have the sdlmamewii folder in apps and mame on both the SD root. I have not done any mods to the ini file and really don't know what to do there anyways.
