Hi guys sorry for the nood question but im desprerate!
how the heck do i get mame4droid to play roms? when i try to play roms on it, it says it will only work with gpx2 wiz 0.37b mame romset. I have downloaded some of these files from this site using my laptop and saving them to the taplet memory card. With the memory back in the tablet and i start mame4droid i use the non custom past to find the rom file and it cannot find id. i have final fight in 6 differend folders and i till cant find the them thru droid but thru the laptop i can. I hope im making sense. Is there a retards guide anywhere to get it roms to work?
Please help me!

I have not got experience of using mame for android but you could try UNZIP'ing the 0.37b roms to see if that works. DO a search on the forums to see if anyone else has had this issue.

It's weird that you are having so much trouble. I've been using Mame4droid for awhile, and it's always worked well. It asks you to browse to the folder with the ROMS, and that's about as hard as it gets. If the game is supported, it will appear in the list of ROMS. Even if the ROM is the wrong version, Mame4droid should still display it and try to launch it. If it's literally showing nothing in the directory, you're doing something seriously wonky.

I've played Final Fight to the end with this emulator on Kindle Fire, so I know it's supported and fully functional. No need to unzip the file at all. I would suggest downloading it from here though to make sure it's legit.
