Ok, so first you need to download the game, and place it in your Rom folder, located in the Mame folder.
Do not unzip the games.. leave them as is.

Then Fire up your mame, and click on 'All games' option, which should be located on the left column, to display the list of all games.
Scroll down to find the name of the game you just added.
You can either find the full name, or the short version of it, which should be the name of the zip file. Get mods for gta 5.

Right click it, and select 'Audit'
After a short scan, mame will tell you if the game has passed the audition or not.
If it has, it's fine and good to go.. if not, then either there are files missing from the game, which means it wont play properly or not at all.

Solutions are:
Either get another version of the game, or download a different version of mame.

There is a way to audit all your games at once, but the scan takes a lot longer.
To do this, simply go the 'File' in the command menu and select 'Audit all games'

I now have a problem with MAME playing some old arcade titles. I tried to search for the issue on google first but I still haven't got a viable answer.
My problem is this:
I've downloaded MAME by using
apt-get install mame
command on my Debian Linux. The installation process went smoothly and I did the right setup afterwards. I've acquired several ROM files including 'Street Fighter III 3rd Strike', 'Street Fighter II': Champion Edition', 'The King of Fighters '97', etc and put them in the rom folder which was specified correctly in the mame.ini file.

I can see the entries for those ROM files once I started MAME (without a GUI frontend as I started MAME in xterm), but when I select any one of the ROMs, I got the same error message. The neogeo.zip file (Neo Geo ROM for MAME) is in my roms folder.
What seems to be the problem? Please help me. Thank you.

Some things that might have tripped you up:
MAME will show a lot of games as 'available' that aren't really. I think they mean 'compatible' more than 'available' here. You can run MAME with the name of a ROM to start right into that game, or fail immediately if it isn't present.
You might start with one of the publicly available ROMS on the MAME website, since those are pretty much guaranteed to work. Files you find on ROM sites are a bit more suspect.
For some games (like Street Fighter 3 Third Strike), a .CHD file is required in addition to the ROM. There are rules about where this CHD file lives, you can read up on this at the FAQ.
NeoGeo games (Like King of Fighters '97) require neogeo.zip in your roms folder, but it seems like you've done that already.
Note that MAME is very picky about ROM file names - they must match exactly what MAME expects them to be. If you've renamed the files, or they downloaded with the wrong names, you'll need to fix them.

mame -listfull
can tell you the game name and the expected ROM name that matches, although you'll probably want to pipe this to grep
or similar due to the large number of supported ROMs.
