How do I get arcade games to run off MAME?

I downloaded M.A.M.E. and a couple roms, how in the world does this thing run? I've run other emulators like Nestopia and Zsnes, so I sorta know how it works. Am I needing something else to run arcade games off MAME?

1. Put the rom files in the ROMS directory, and if it's a Neogeo game, make sure you also put the bios files there. On MAME, refresh your list and the games should show up.
2. Every one always ask this question. 3 questions to you: 1 What version of mame are you trying to us? 2 What games are you trying to play? 3 Never mind. MAME comes in different packages: dos, 32, pluss, fx versions up to 115 as of 05/11/07 Okay you need ROM files, Bios files (for some games) and CHD files (for a few games) Try searching Answers for MAME HELP http://answers.yahoo.com/search/search_result;_ylt=AoNzY_JsDy56jbDPJsJm_OQnzKIX?p=mame+help&scope=&mc=&fltr=_en&tab=1&asktime=&st=1
