Struggling to Get MaLa to let me direct it to my roms folder
NaptownChief:
Seems like this should be a very simple and basic task but I'm in the Options setup pop up box after running a new install and it lets me point it to the correct folder for the MAME executable folder but when I click on the "..." to direct it to my roms it doesn't allow me to do so. It just looks like an empty folder that only gives me the ability to click "Open" which does nothing or just hit "Cancel". Yet the folder is loaded with unzipped roms as I have triple checked and always visiable expect when I try to link MaLa to the folder. Thanks in advance for helping with what appears to be a stupid question.

Welcome board, NaptownChief. ;D
MaLa is looking for an XML file (lower right in your first screenshot), not the ZIP files in your second screenshot.
MAME's XML format changed in version 0.162 -- if you're using that version or newer, check out the workaround here.

Thanks. Forums like this is what gave me the confidence to build my cabinet several years ago. For a non techie like me do you think it would be wise to just use an older version?

It would be easier if you don't have to do the XML workaround, however it might be worth the effort to use a newer version if MAME has added a feature or game that you can't live without.
