Setting up MAME for the TI is much easier than it looks. However, I need some more information from you beyond "cannot figure out".

 

I'm the current maintainer for the TI family within MAME, I'll be glad to help (see my message signature). You can also send me PM.

i have MAME setup and recently went back to MESS.

 

Both are easy to setup. If you need help just ping me privately and we will get it figured out.

If you get an error output like

you are using an outdated set of system ROMs. Please go to WHTech (ftp.whtech.com) and download the ti99_complete.zip from the "/System ROMs/MAME" folder. Do not unzip the contained zip files (will still work, but is not necessary and causes quite a mess). You should place all files ti99_*.zip and geneve.zip in the roms folder of your MAME installation.

 

Also, you should exchange the ZIP cartridge files to be able to use the software list. The ZIP cartridges are found on WHTech under /Cartridges/MAME/all_carts.zip. Also here, just unzip this package, but do not unzip the contained cartridge ZIPs.
