First, I suggest you join the Repository for access to lots of bootable disks, manuals, etc. https://microbeetechnology.com.au/MTFR_A...Access.htm
MAME that uses disk versions of a Microbee yes requires a bootable disk, as in real life. But you could try Nanowasp ( http://nanowasp.org/ ) to boot an individual file, just need to enter its start addy as 256.
I personally find ubee512 emulator the most advanced and generally trouble free emulator, again its in the Repository and then use HOST2CPM or CPM2HOST for moving files to and from your PC's HD to a DSK image.
Most games on the Microbee work out of BASIC as a *.BEE file with a start addy of 0900h (the default) so that it can work on the earlier ROM based bees as well as the later disk based bees.
