If you are using a default ROMS folder - that looks valid. If you have to make an additional path (to software or chds simply add another entry to "rompath" in your mame.ini separated by a semi-colon (;). Laserdiscs are treated the same way as normal games using CHD as detailed in another post.

Just remember, a folder and a compressed file is the same thing to MAME.
