Great explanation. I have followed the exact same steps as they are in your post with MAME pack downloaded from Rompacks.com and it seems that all is working fine. Thank you so much for explaining the whole process of adding games to MAME. I didn't find any other more detailed explanation via Google.
P.S Those who still have troubles make sure to read this below.
NOTE : I copied this admin's comment from above
You need a main folder called MAME, Which you later have to select as path to all other folders on it, so MAME.exe will know where to find everything.
Inside the main folder, you will have the folders named roms, ini, scores, shots, etc...
Put the games zipped in the roms folder.
You will need to start up MAME and set up the file paths to the folders.
