Just like everyone else...The files are on CF card in the mameboy folder with the mameboy.exe open and the games in their own folder called "roms" (renamed from cfg). I created a short cut to the games folder and it works fine. I have an E-115, and I can look at all the games when I select options and check "Show All Games". What do I do now? I double click on the game...nothing! I highlite the game and press play...nothing! Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for all the hard work!

Ouch :( Why did you renamed the cfg folder? I don't really understand what you've done...

My suggestion: Unpack the archive and make sure you have path structure preserved. If you want to keep it in the storage card, MAMEBoy.exe must be in

\storage card\mameboy\mameboy.exe

roms must be in

\storage card\mameboy\ROMs\DKong.zip

etc

You don't need to check 'show all games' option. All available games will be listed automatically upon starting mameboy.exe

FYI,
The cfg folder is auto created by the application. It stores the cfg settings for each game in it, as you play them. Those files in that folder are NOT the games. You have to also download the game roms (they will end in a .zip) from a rom site on the internet and put those files into the roms folder. Each game requires a separate rom. ie dkong.zip is the Donkey Kong Rom.
Hope that clears it up for you.

I didn't mean to offend, but when I read to have the files in these specific folders, I thought that they had to be changed (cfg-roms). Anyways, could my mistake be that I unzipped the games? If that is correct, I had everything right except for the rename thing. Maybe I should remove it completely and re-load?

Don't unzip game ROMs you downloaded from www.mame.dk
Just put zip files in ROMs folder.
My suggestion: remove mameboy completely, unpack the zip archive again and re-install it.
