tested again, it is not runnable for the rom > 3 MB, maybe it is my pad memory 
restriction? My pad is made by asus.

I am able to run almost every ROM listed as supported, including some up to 
80MB. I have a Galaxy S2 however. It may be possible that your RAM limits your 
available games, but I would feel it strange that the limit is just at a such a 
low number of megabytes.

More than that, the error you are give seems to point in another directions: I 
think it's far more likely that you are just trying to run an incomplete ROM, 
or a ROM for another MAME version. Try to install a MAME on your pc, with the 
same mame version as the one you are running on your device (depending if you 
are using the standard or reloaded app), and then try to run that rom on your 
pc: the pc mame versions are usually more verbose with their errors, and 
specify which files are you actually missing in your zip. That's how I searched 
the web for the missing file and completed some games I really wanted to have.
