Actually all the Games Listed have not really been tested (in MameCE3 that is) But they are enabled.
The program goes thru and looks into each zip file in all the rom folders and tried to find the rom files for each game that is enabled, if it doesn't find all the files, it does not list the game in the play list. The reason you only see 5 of 8 games may be that you don't have a fully merged rom set, the rom file is bad, or the rom is older (or newer) and the rom filename(s) have changed.

Hope that helps clear things up.
