/usr/local/share/games/mame/roms
And of course /usr/local/share/games/mame has folders for artwork etc.

As that is a restricted area you will need to open a filemanager as an admin.
(Right click in an area or see the File menu of the FileManager to "Open As Administrator")

Once you have copied the files(Drag and Drop) to the location above, you will need to alter permissions to the folder and files.
Use could use the following command

Code: Select all

sudo chmod 777 /usr/local/share/games/mame -R
I might change the permissions on the mame folder automatically in the next update to facilitate this.

Let us know how you go.
