The import script is only for ROMs that retro has integrations for. The test ROMs have no integrations; they're only there to make sure the emulators themselves work.

Thanks for your reply.
I want to know which ROMs retro has integrations for, besides sega_classics.
And if I want to use retro to play other Atari 2600 (via Stella) and Sega Genesis/Mega Drive (via Genesis Plus GX) games, what should I do?

At this time it's only Atari games and Sega Classics. The full list of supported games is what's in the data/ folder.

I am having the same issue even when trying to import games that are included in the data folder. (I think that was also the case for @jha-prateek)

Any pointers?

Follow the integration guide.

I guess it is because we use the wrong version of ROM file. Find another ROM file and try it again:)

Thanks @endrift @muchang

I was trying to import the games that were already integrated (i.e. included in the data folder). The solution I found was to rename the rom to "rom.md" or "rom.a26" and to copy it to the corresponding data folder.

Still, some of them does not run properly. It might be a good idea to look for an alternative rom file as @muchang mentioned...
