I think we'd need more info to help but lets try but I'm not very familiar with arcadeOS. Do you know if you have a mame32 version of the emulator on there, or if I assume with arcadeos, you're running either the dos version or a command line version? Take a look in the directory of mame and see if you do have a mame32 version and if so, run it and see if you can run your roms through it. If you don't, I recommend you get it to try and see if at least your rom set is ok (though I can't see how it wouldn't be). Anyway, this will help determine if its just a configuration problem with your arcadeos/mame combo.
Also back to your ArcadeOS setup, after starting a game and you have the black screen, wait about 10 seconds or so, then insert a coin. When you do, do you hear the sound effect of the coin inserted?
