Really Need Some Help

I'm an experienced "emulator" and I have been very successful in emulating the Commodore 64, Atari 2600, Nintendo, Super Nintendo, and N64 on my Kindle Fire Hd. I also have iFrotz so I can play text adventures.

I can't figure out Mame which I have always used on PCs. I have imame4all's latest version, I downloaded Pacman from the two romsets here that are for Androids.... and I always get the "files missing" dialogue.

Can someone tell me the best emulator version and romset to use on my second generation Kindle Fire Hd?

I donated $10 and I posted my question in the correct forum but I have yet to find my solution.

Please help. I have an icade and I want to get imame working on my Kindle Fire Hd.

Have you downloaded the parent rom of Pacman? PuckMan (Japan set 1) would needed to play all variants of Pacman...
As for an emulator for Android, depends on what games you wish to play and how powerful your device is...

You solved my problem, much appreciated. I had always downloaded roms by the thousands before. This was the first time I downloaded just one. I didn't know it needed another rom to work. Thanks alot! I'm using the latest version of imame4all and my Kindle Fire HD is running it quite well.

One glitch I noticed is that when I try to run the emulator without the visible on screen controls, it always pops up the settings menu. Not a huge problem, but it means my gameplay is slightly smaller because I have to keep the controls on screen. They are mostly transparent so I don't mind.
