Whenever I try to play a title, I get this error message: "No writable path to write roms into". I'm currently running on Windows 10 on command prompt btw. What should I do?

Do you have your rompath configured properly in your mame.ini ? Some tips:

Type "mame64.exe -showconfig" to see where mame looks for roms (value of rompath parameter) and determine if the path actually exists
Try bare mame with some roms to make sure mame is configured properly before trying to use ia-rcade
If the path specified in the mame configuration actually exists, make sure it is writable
