By default, mame searches for ROMs in these directories:

$HOME/mame/roms
/usr/local/share/games/mame/roms
/usr/share/games/mame/roms

If you want to change that behaviour, edit the file /etc/mame/mame.ini with sudo rights and add your desired path to the rompath line, e. g. for your case:

rompath $HOME/mame/roms;/usr/local/share/games/mame/roms;/usr/share/games/mame/roms;$HOME/.mame/roms

This file is also the right choice to set other options permanently, e. g. window 1 for window mode or mouse 1 for mouse support.
