How to add roms that LB refuse to add?

Hello

I'm trying to add 3 Mame roms...

Conquest (conquest.zip)

Marble Madness II (marblmd2.zip)

Super tank attack (STANKATK.ZIP)

Here are my settings, plus I've tried all over possible settings...

Regardless of any settings I use, the "Ready to Import" is empty and therefore I cannot add these roms. Where am I going wrong please, and how can I add them?

Thank you

If it's just the 3, you can manually add single games.  

ToolsImportManually Add Game...

 

"Conquest (prototype)" is not in the LB database. But you can still add the game manually.  Just won't get any metadata nor media.

"Super Tank Attack (prototype rev. 1.12)", same thing.

 

Note: "Marble Madness II (prototype)" is in the database, but comes up as "Marble Man: Marble Madness II". Though it does have an alternate name "Marble Madness II" if you prefer that.  (Not sure where the prefix 'Marble Man' came from)

didn't find Marble Madness too

Can search for Marble Madness II (that's 'eye' 'eye'.  Not 'ell' 'ell'. And not "too" or "two")

Or as noted above, search for Marble Man: Marble Madness II.  Or simply Marble Man.

And even Marble Madness.  You'll need to scroll down a little to come across it ("Marble Man: Marble Madness II").

Didn't get a match for 212408 When I try to search the database

The ID shown when you edit a game (as depicted in the screenshot above) is the ID# that's used in the file "Metadata.xml".  That number differs from the database ID# found on the [Web] Game Database.
