It's still only showing bios files instead of the games/roms. I even tried older versions of MAME and it does the same thing. Other emulators such as the Gameboy Advance and SNES work fine though.

Are you sure you set the roms folder correctly ? (perhaps you pointed it to the wrong folder or mispelled something in the path ) And are your roms in .zip format (IIRC Maximus only scans for .zip compressed format and some download sites have them in .7z )
Juddy:
Can you run mameui by itself outside Maximus?
Can you supply a screenshot of your configuration please.
Richardgregory:
That's a good point about the .zip exenstion. You can also inform Maximus to scan for certain file extensions. But as suggested, check the path again and run MAME without Maximus to ensure that ROMS load okay.

That did the trick! All of my roms are in .7z format and MA looks for zips by default. I made the simple fix and now everything is good to go. Thanks guys! :)
