I wasn't sure about the whole different bios' for different systems, but I grabbed a couple of bios files and put them in the roms folder as well. I rebooted and ran MAME from my springboard. it opens and I see the directory at the top of the page and the loopt ad and then blank white lines under that. nothing listed at all.
I then tried some different things via ssh. I put the bios files into the main MAME folder instead of the roms folder I made. I tried making new folders for the .zip games in the roms folder.. etc..
Anyway, nothing changes when I open the mame program. any help?
thanks in advance

Don't create your own folders, they were created for you when you installed MAME. The actual path will be var/mobile/media/ROMS/MAME/ROMs
There's 2 ROMs folders...if you check, you'll see they're already there and you can delete the folders you created.
