Just checked a few and they worked fine. ???
(they are attached to the first post in the thread the link takes you to)

They weren't working earlier but they are definitely working for me now. sorry for false alarm
Are the NAOMI, Model 2 and 3, Atomiswave, and Type X games playable in MAME? I thought MAME couldn't play any of these systems due to compatibility issues and no modern PC's being fast enough to handle the emulation

No, they aren't playable in MAME.
Most of what's in the full MAME romset isn't playable.
That's why they are listed separately.
Since they aren't playable in MAME, they aren't included in the batch files.
I have my front end (Mala) set up to include these games in lists alongside the MAME games, but launch them on their respective emulator. It's complicated though and Mala no longer works with new versions of MAME without workarounds.
I think Launchbox incorporates ways to do this, but I haven't tried that front end yet. My setup is working, so no reason to redo it with something newer.

Thanks for the help. Don't laugh but I am running these games on a PC hooked up to my TV and I plan on running everything from the Mame core in Retroarch using an xbox 360 controller. No fancy arcade cab or Frontend setup for me.
I do have a few more questions. I have a list of Light gun games and 270 wheel racing games and I would like to copy them over into separate folders similar to what you have done here for other genres.
1. Based on the reading I have done it seems that the 270 degree wheel games should work fine with a xbox 360 controller (though I am sure many purists would be offended by this). Is my assumption correct?
2. For Light gun games I could probably get away with rigging a wiimote up with ppjoy correct? (I dont have the money to shell out for an aimtrack)
3. Most important question - Since I have my list of games I want to copy over (I am using split sets), what is the best way to go about finding all of the games and necessary files to run them (CHDs, Bios, etc)? Is there a way to automate this or a program that will tell me? I am guessing I only need parent roms because if I understand correctly clones for the most part are just variations of the games and I am not really interested in that (except in situations where the clone runs in MAME but not the parent, and how would I be able to identify this situation without manual testing?)
Sorry if this is not the right place for me to ask this question. If it isnt I can repost elsewhere. I am a complete noob who just wants a decent setup on my PC and any help is greatly appreciated

I'm not familiar with Retroarch or how the MAME build it uses varies from the real MAME build. A lot of time these alternate versions are missing options or behave differently.
Depending on which version of MAME it's based off of, some of the rom names might not even be correct for it
1. Should be no problem, but it' not plug and play like the standardized JAMMA joystick games. See the MAME section of the driving cab info thread stickied in the driving cab subforum.
2. As far from plug and play as it gets. If you have dozens of hours to invest in configuring it. Also no idea if it will work with retroarch. Buying a Mayflash Dolphin Bar will cut out a lot of the configuration pain.
3. I used http://www.progettoemma.net/ when making these lists, then play tested the games and MAME would tell me if anything else was missing. Click on the British flag at the top of the menu on the left for English.
I can't walk you through this stuff. You just have to jump in and fiddle with it until you start to understand how MAME works.
When something doesn't work, figure out why, then move forward with your increased knowledge.
By the time you work past a few problems, you'll have an idea how to fix the next problem when you come to it.
