New roms not showing up

[smkinney]

I added six new roms to my roms folder in addition to the six I currently have. I turned off the verify and all of the filters other than show the games I have. Run the list update and nada. I copied the roms into the rom folder in mame to see if they worked there and the loaded no problem. Am I missing something? Also an additional question. I am a total noob. Lol. I build a cabinet and have a trackball which essentially is a glorified sub mouse. It works as a mouse and I set it as a trackball in mame. The only thing I can't figure out is how to get it to work as a joystick for games like centipede. Also I would love to assign the two mouse buttons as controller buttons in game. Like one being select and the other being escape. Any thoughts?

thank you!
