Thanks for the tip Richard, but forcing rescanning on launch didn't help either. 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.

(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 )
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!
Im having the same issues. I have MA 2.10 and the latest version of mame(version 1.53) mame lists and plays my outside of frontend. ( I have roughly 9000 roms) however In MA it only shows 69 roms. all my roms are in .rar formatheres what ive tried thus far:ive tried rescanning (force rescan of media folder)changing from Clrmame pro to XMLrescanning the data history baseeven tried adding the media extension .zip in the scan section of MADo i need to convert my roms to zip?
In MA for MAME, all of my roms show up, but they won't play because it says they are missing certain files within the zipped rom. I've tried about everything I can think of to solve it with no luck- HELP!?!
I figured it out. It looks like it was an old catver.ini (the one that came with MA 2.1). I updated to the latest version, and rescanned. Worked like a charm.

Mame plays all games just fine but maximus arcade is leaving out a random handful. I've tried everything but this. .ini thing. Is that a maximus arcade issue or Mame? How do i try this route?

It looks the way i want it too and isnt all crazy newaged with garbage everywhere looking overly graphic. I want simple graphics and easy for guests to understand wether 20 or 90. These new ones have circulat scrolling menus and all kinds of things that make them hard for yonger kids or older adults to process.Retro gaming is dead too....but here i am utilizing it on a daily basis with maximus arcade....like so many others....it has this one issue that makes a few games not play....i can live with it i was just hoping someone knew an easy fix. Btw....other front ends have loads of issues, compatibility issues, comprehension issues etc. I live maximus because i KNOW it won't be getting updated and changed every 5 seconds. I can't keep up with this computer crap. Im not tech savvy and maximus makes it easy. It stays the same. Like my old games.
