also i just found out that to be able to use this files need to have multiple .rar files for each game not only multiple files inside a rar file just mention this for people that dont know like me if you search for an arcade rom pack no matter the system eexcept mame i think you need to have rom packs that the games inside the pack will have multiple rar files for each game !!!

either i gues its the rom files that launchox and retroarch doesnt like

Launchbox doesn't care about the file, it's whether or not the emulator likes them.

The best place to get up to date roms for up to date emulators is pleasuredome, especially for the arcade stuff. Getting the roms from other sources especially if you don't know the exact rom set version number is unknown you really are guessing and you have no idea if they are good working rom dumps.

Arcade roms are always in a zip file with multiple files inside of them, they have to be packed up in a very specifically named zip file for the emulator to use them. You can find them in some places as a set and that set is split up into multiple rar / zip archives which do have to be extracted but the actual game rom files themselves have to be in their individual zip files.

If you are uncomfortable with that site I will say that emuparadise  does have a full 161 Mame set on their Complete ROM Sets page, they have update packs to get that set up to 193 but that is a much more advanced thing to do, it's not just a simple extract over top and write over the previous files.
