Help with NES ROMs with MAME

[jeffk395]

I am trying to get my NES ROMs to work with MAME because I want to use cheats. I have 2 sets of NES ROMs - The full name of the ROM (Super Mario Bros. 3.nes) and the Software List set (smb3.zip).

 

I am trying to find a few for the ROMs to launch in MAME and work with the cheat files. As of now, using RocketLauncher and Hyperspin, I can get the full named ROM to launch, but cannot use the cheats because of the naming mismatch. Is there any database I can download or any way to get this to work properly?

Is it even worth using mame for NES? I mean with NES emulation being damn near perfect with the current NES emulators. As for cheats as was mentioned.. you can easily set them up in other emulators. I always found mame to be a bit crappy running certain consoles....
