1) be sure you've setup your rompaths correctly:
[romapth]\[setname]\[rom1 ... rom n] for unzipped sets
[romapth]\[setname].zip for zipped sets

So if you have them unzipped, you need to add a subfolder for each set.

2) NES roms need headers. They have to match the ones which were used for the datfile.
