I tried this, didn't work for me. Do you just have to copy over the .sr files? MAME recognized the games were there, but then gave an error message on missing files.

Hope my PM helped.  I guess that will teach me to beliove what I hear on the Internet!  It seems they are not drag-and-drop at all...   :( 

To the OP, you can see that this is a rather murky area of home arcades.  The page linked to below has a good breakdown of the issue.
