How to run bios in MESS

I can never get MESS to find any bios. I am running MESS 140 UI. When I try to run regular MESS, it just says no ROM-sets were found, and won't let me do anything. I have tried putting bioses zipped or unzipped in various folders, and nothing has worked. I can't find any way to configure a bios path either.

biospath=rompath. Same as MAME. If you are referring to the internal UI, it will not list consoles/systems/games which do not have a romset.zip found. This means many consoles are not usable via the internal system selection and must be started via command-line to work properly.
NES/Famicom is a good example of a system with no "bios" roms that will not show with the system selection UI upon starting MESS. This will likely change in the future but the simple UI is not set up to account for these instances of shared/no roms. You'd need to start it manually: mess nes megaman2u for instance.. from command-line. From there, you can use the internal UI to load from picker or softwarelist other titles.

Thanks for trying to help me. It now appears that I have a bunch of bad dumps / mis-named files that the emulator will not recognize.

CLRMAME can help you sort those out and if you found MAME roms, you can find MESS rom updates just as easily.
