You can try too without command line, just run the executable.
But if it works, you will have to test with command line.

Check that your roms are up to date with v0.200

To launch a rom with command line:
  • create a file with a ".bat" suffix
  • right-click on it and choose "Edit"
  • Enter this line (replace with actual values) then close and save
    mame.exe -rompath "the path to the rom" theromfile.zip
    Ex: mame.exe -rompath "D:\Multi-system (MAME)\ROMS v159" 3wonders.zip
  • double-click on the .bat file

Aeliss is right (once again  ;)) you should check that the roms are launching fine from within the emulator itself!
By the way, what is the emulator you're using?
I'm using MAME 0.200.

Have you tried in stand alone mode ? without mgalaxy ?
I do not know how to use command lines to test ROMS...  :-/

MAME ROMS don't launch

Hi, folks!

I am a new mGalaxy user and I am facing ROMS loading problem, I followed all the tutorial steps http://www.mgalaxy.com/tutorial_mGalaxy.html and managed to update the database but the ROMS do not load.

When I click on the games I hear the message "launch game" but nothing happens, read all related topics, follow the instructions but nothing solved.

Anyone have any idea what might be happening?...
