A google search for 'mame roms' or something similar should get you started. Keep in mind that MAME is Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator, IIRC... so it's really meant to run games of the brick-and-mortar arcade era, games you actually put a quarter into to play, e.g. Pac-Man, Dig-Dug, Donkey Kong, etc...

Also, in case you don't know about 'xmaeme' (also in extras-devel in the same place), it's a nice graphical front-end to xmame.
