Mame seriously makes me wanna jump out a window.

Plain and simple, why doesnt it work? Firstly, my end goal is to play fighting games from SNK with a Fightstick TE.

NeoRageX plays all the games I want to use, perfectly, (IE, KOF, Garou, SNK vs Capcom, Samurai Showdown etc etc.) However, it does not support Fightsticks, or a number of other sticks either.

Fightstick TE works on MAME, but the games dont (how mucked up is that lol).

Heres the problem, I have the MAME Roms for these games, I try using them in Mame32, MameUI and Mame0133 with 0% success. Each seems to beleive certain rom files are missing. Some of them say BIOS files are missing.

I have the latest bios files, and 5+ versions of MAME. So what is going on? When did emulation become so messy?
