Press F5 to refresh the game list. And read this.

Some games or systems require additional BIOS ROMs. Without those they will not appear in the game list after a refresh even if you have the correct ROMs for the game itself.

Another thing that's important to understand is the concept of "clone" and "parent" rom sets.

Clone sets will not show up in the game list if you don't have the parent set. For example you need dkong.zip in order to load Crazy Kong or any of the other clones.
