You need to find and download the chd (chd=compressed hunk of data) which for these games is basically an image of the Hard Drive that the game contained...it's an image of a HD so they are rather big from a few megs into thousands of megs depending on the game. There's over approx 70 MAME games that require these chds including area51 and kinst....good look finding them as they are not as easy to find as the ROMs.

area51 = 517 megs
kinst = 96 megs
