Absolute Lads on this forum. Thank you everyone!

Really quick side note as far as registering for this VERY SPECIFIC SITE, what email services do you guys use, if you dont mind me asking? Its saying they require a non-freemail service, and I dont think Gmail is going to work.

Alright, well it would appear that my problem would be that whatever file I ended up downloading wasnt a complete set of Rom Files then. So I suppose i should go and scrap these for a complete 0.206 set. I got mine from Archive.org, but where did you end up downloading your set? I'm guessing a "dome of pleasure"?

So I checked the size of the file. It comes out to about 13.7GB. So that might be my problem there. I have also kept the files zipped, so that may also be the issue. If thats the case it would just be as simple as selecting all the files and then unzipping them into the roms folder, no?

As far as Launchbox goes, I placed the MAME folder in the Launchbox folder. In the MAME folder, I then placed the games in the Roms folder, so the file path looks like this - E:\LaunchBox\MAME\roms. Whether running them in launchbox or just in MAME, some games will work, so the location of the roms should be right, but most games like the ones I had mentioned dont work for whatever reason. I appreciate your patience in trying to help me figure this out by the way.

Yeah I went out of my way to try and get the same versions of both the Emulator and Rom Set thinking it would help me avoid issues like this, but here I am. When I try to run a game such as Aero Fighters 3/Sonic Wings just through MAME I receive the following screen despite it saying that the game itself is functioning.

I was actually going to include the fact that the majority of the games that are giving me this errors are CPS1, 2, 3, TAITO, DATA East, SNK/NEOGEO, and CAVE. Im sure there are more but of those that I tried I was met with similar results. I understand that the CHDS are quite large packages. Is this looking like my only route to getting these to work properly?

Im experiencing similar issues. I currently am running MAME 0.206 with a Merged MAME 0.206 Rom set. I have found that particular roms initialize and boot me back to the Launchbox UI. When I attempt to run them through MAME, I receive the "Selected Machine is Missing one or more required Rom/CHD images" error. Im assuming I need to go through the process of acquiring the bios for these games in order for them to work properly, but would it make more sense for me to scrap the merged romset I have for an older non-merged set so all the required files are already there? Or are finding the bios not that difficult and require something as simple as putting the bios files into the same folder as the one that currently contains my roms?
