"Not working" is a bit vague -- specifically what is not working about them?

Also, which version/build of MAME are you using? You have to make sure that the ROMs you're using are matched to the MAME version. There are changes to the ROM sets, sometimes even just the names, from version to version.

I'd also recommend learning how to use clrmamepro to verify the ROMs. It takes some time to learn how to use it, but can really help to fix up your ROMs.

The up-to-date BIOS files are usually in the latest ROM set updates. Get the latest ROM set and you'll be good to go (with a current version of MAME that is).
