Hey, Welcome to the Forums.

Looks to me that you need to use a .map file.

Map files rename your roms within GameEx.

As I dont use MAME, Im not entirely sure if there is a .map file for MAME already in the MAP files folder in your GameEx directory.

If you set up MAME as a seperate emulator .map files are accessible in rhe advanced emulator config in the setup wizard.

Maybe another user can chip in and confirm this?

I believe KRC is correct as you will likely run into problems with MAME as it looks for specific ROM names within the sets. Did you test the play of the ROMs you changed through MAME outside of GameEx?

Another thing. When using the default MAME setup within GameEx, are you running Update List (last item on the default MAME menu)? Any time you make changes to your ROMs you have to run Update List.
