Hahaha for some reason the forum does not always notify me of posts. That’s my excuse and I am sticking with it. Either that or senility.

Thanks Peeps, and sorry for the lateness of my reply, I blame it on old age

The GPD Win Is a truly astounding machine (Thanks Tom), running GX wonderfully (with all bells and whistles) and every Steam game I have tried runs great also, including Far Cry and Just Cause. But mainly, for Retro game lovers on the move, it is brilliant, and having a keyboard as well is a boon for adventure games. ps. The size of a DS XL, so really portable. http://www.pocketgamer.co.uk/r/Other/GPD+Win/hardware_review.asp?c=73044

The problem you have almost answered yourself. These systems need a bios to run. By default these are stored in your mame/mess directory in a subfolder called roms. Seeing you are pointing mame(mess) to a different rom location, they cannot be found. Yoy have two solutions. Copy the bios file to your rom directory. or, Add a semicolon separated second rom path pointing to your mame rom directory -rompath / -rp <path>
