[starting game via MAME in NEO GEO AES MODE]

Fair enough and I do have to admit after getting this working it is kinda nice having that nice NeoGeo bootup screen instead of the green glitchy looking screen of the arcade or the UniBios screen.

this is for me too another reason to use the standard bios.

Fair enough, I was just curious because it seems even people into the real NeoGeo hardware seem to like and prefer the Unibios because it gives you the option to pick AES or MVS and region easily. I wouldn't think to really call it a mod or a hack unless you are using the cheats.

I own real AES and also REAL MVS.

agree !! What you say is right but at the end it is a hack also if under the eyes seems to be perfectly standard,

for example it bypass some protection criteria that allow You to play game as AES mode that never existed in AES.

try to play  Zupapa with original AES bios.....

I don't like hacks/modification in general, Unibios is better of the original under all the fronts but I always prefer to have the standard state of the company/creator,

can't hide anyway that sometime I use it for some purpose as it offer many!

Try setting your command line to this and let me know if that works for you.

aes %romfile% -bios japan

In my quick test it seems to work properly.I found some bios information on this site and it's what pointed me in the right direction with some trial and error.

Took me a few minutes to figure this one out but make a separate emulator entry in LB, call it whatever you want, I used NeoGeo AES, it can point to you normal install.

 In the Edit Emulator screen for that emulator entry set your default command parameters to aes and turn on "Use File Name Only". Also don't forget  to add the platform name in the Associated Platforms tab.

 This doesn't work because Mame expects a .bin file for it.

It Works...

You have exactly my same config, can't believe that I have to check that option that was under my eyes all this time just because says only "Sega Model 2 Emulator,etc.." .. my fault for not try it...

Thank You for solved my problem.

another question if you can help me but not related to launchbox.. Do you know if is possible to start with AES region to japan as default in mame ?

[starting game via MAME in NEO GEO AES MODE]

Hello to everyone,

I'm a free user of launchbox so I don't have access to all feature of this front-end.

I'm struggling with a problem,

for example as we all know if you start the game in MAME via command line like this "mame64 aes samsho" it will run samurai showdown in AES mode (you need to have the aes.zip file of corse).

the problem is that it is impossible to force launchbox to understand the word "aes" in command line parameter, game unfortunately not start.

I have also forced on associated platform via the "aes -cart" option and it start the bios without launch the game.

is this a bug ? is it possible to solve this problem ?

Greetings.

P.S. Please note that I have not interest to launch game with UNIBIOS  as home console I already know how to do this and I don't like to use UNIBIOS also if is better.
