I have the RA downloaded, and all applicable cores. however, the site I downloaded these individual rom zips from gave me the roms but don't allow me to play them in any core/emulator. One in particular says that it doesn't recognize this "rom set". Did I get the wrong roms, or am I missing something else in order to get them to play properly?
Please advise.

Dont download single MAME roms like that from anywhere, you do not know what version they are, likely they are very old though, so wont work with the current new MAME/FBNeo cores (and FBNeo is a different romset entirely). Get the current full MAME romset and get the current matching version of the MAME emulator and you will have zero issues with games working, i highly advise against using Retroarch for MAME, as it has issues that the standalone MAME emulator does not have.

Somehow I managed to download another "romset" that worked with the FBNEO core. Aside from individual controller configurations, I haven't had a problem with the roms I want to play (SF3, all 3). I still have to re-organize my rom platforms better, separating the other non-mame arcade roms from the rest of the arcade roms. The majority of the OLD roms I have work with my older versions of MAME. Still working on getting SWTRILGY to work properly. I can get it to run with Supermodel 3, but nothing else. Need a proper rom for that, but can never find it.
