Downloaded the ROMs but MAME won't list them

This is rather odd as I'd played them before and deleted them because
I didn't think I could fix the resolution problem (Tailgunner) or I
didn't know that they were available (Tac/Scan). I've since
downloaded them again but for some reason, Tac/Scan refuses to appear
on any list.

BTW, how do I add games to the Favorites list so that I don't have
scroll down through that HUGE list of ROM's?

Is there a good website for Mame beginners? The help file (as usual)
is no help at all.

Mame32 refuses to list Tac/Scan in any of the directories I've
searched! It's driving me a bit mental knowing the ROM is there but
the program can't seem to find it.

Has anyone been able to get Rush'n Attack to work? I can't seem to
get past the initial test screens. None of the usual keys like 5 and
1 seem to register for credits or player 1.

Also, the game display does not match at all my recollections of the
actual arcade game. Is the Playchoice version a console import or
something?

BTW, I have no clue how to "force" a screen resolution for vector
games like "Tailgunner", "Star Castle" and "Space Fury", none of which
will display properly. Is there a website/webpage that goes into
detail that noobs can grok?

Thanks in advance!

a) there is no MAME32, there is only MAMEUI
b) rom sets change from version to version, you have to update them
c) MAMEUI only lists sets as available if they are correct and complete
(so, if you want a clone to be listed when split-merged, you need the
parent as well. Similar for sets with bios and chd usage)
d) www.mameworld.net/easyemu
e) you need to refresh the gamelist (F5) in MAMEUI
f) for favorites you can simply edit favorites.ini in the folders folder
