Sometimes zipped files don’t work even if they say they do. When in doubt unzip all ROMs except mame, FBA, and neogeo. See the wiki for the most common file types that work for each system:

For GBA see this post:

You’ll need the gba_bios.bin file in the /home/pi/RetroPie/BIOS folder.

It will also be helpful to specify which pi you have and which version of retropie you installed.
