Unable to import 2 roms to custom platform

[DannyShane]

Hello, I was in mame (standalone) and came across electronic football!  (cnfball.zip). i used to have this as a kid. it works in mame great.  I imported all mame roms but this was not incluided (i guess because it wasnt an arcade game).  so i wanted to import it now. i successfully imported it into arcade but then i deleted it because it not an arcade. lol. 

so i created my own platform called "Electronic games"

I tried importing into that new platform but it keeps saying zero roms imported. 

I select mame as the emulator, i dont undeerstand what "scrape" means.  but i think i selected "arcade".   i deselected all of the options where it asks to "skip puzzle games, etc".   ive tried 5 times to import but unbsuccesffuly unless i impoort nunder mame arcade (but i rather not mix it with arcade).

anyone know what im doing wrong?

try importing it again and during the import check the button to force duplication and see if that changes anything if not just hit the add button and add that game manually without using the import process

damn, thanks so much. you guys have helped me out so much in getting my setup running. I really appreciate it. 

i guess it was a duplicate. although i searched and it was not showing up, but it works now, thanks very much!
