so you created a folder that said "ROMs" instead of "games"? and how do I tell Launchbox to leave them there when I import them?

Inside your MAME folder is a bunch of other folders. 1 of them is called "roms" You put all of your rom zip files in there. Then import in launchbox and do "add folder" and direct it to that folder. Then when launchbox asks if you want to copy files, move files or leave files where they are, select leave where they are.

MAME by default looks in its own mame/roms folder for roms, but you can place them anywhere, as long as you tell mame the location, either thorough the mame UI, or via the mame.ini in the mame folder. However if using the fullset importer and pointing the wizard to the correct location Launchbox should be doing this for you as of Launchbox version 12.7.
