neil9000 Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Where are you storing the roms and have you told MAME itself that location? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hads Posted February 13, 2021 Author Share Posted February 13, 2021 Yes they are in mame rom folder and used wizard to install and they are all there just says parent is missing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because if so it means exactly what it says, either the path MAME is looking for your roms is wrong, or your romset is not in fact a fullset like you think it is. You say you have a non merged romset, what is the size of that folder? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hads Posted February 13, 2021 Author Share Posted February 13, 2021 They are all downloaded from pleasuredome and non merged is 125gb the only thing i see different was it gave me the option to move the files or copy files to games folder but it didnt this time and im assuming cause it would double the 700 gb or roms in the mame folder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil9000 Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Just now, Hads said: the only thing i see different was it gave me the option to move the files or copy files to games folder The MAME fullset importer doesnt offer this option, sounds to me like you are using the standard rom importer? Use the MAME fullset importer, if that is what you have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cause that could be a issue, they should be loose in the roms folder, if they are in another folder in that folder then you need to point to that other folder.
