> I appreciate any help anybody can give me !!!

Based on the information you have given I honestly cannot tell what is going wrong for you, but in general, and for this forum it might provide useful if you could :

State what MAME version and variant (official MAME, MAMEUI, etc) you are using, and on what platform (and version) you are running MAME (Windows, Linux, Mac, etc.).


Furthermore, if you could provide the following that would be helpful:


1.) Steps taken to reproduce the issue.
For example: Start the Windows Explorer, browse to the C:\Mame folder, and doubleclick on mame64.exe. Use the MAME internal menu to browse to 'pacman', and start that game by doubleclicking that title/name.


2.) Expected result.
Example: Pacman starts, and I can play the game.


3.) Actual result.
For example: If you get an error message, what is that exact message ? Do you get a black screen that stays there forever but the game does not start ? Does the entire computer freeze and you have to reboot ? Something else ?



> I can not even get MAME to work on these systems by it's self.

Then perhaps that would be the first thing to focus on, then.
