Thanks- I think I used internet archive for the 149 set I have. Maybe it's time again if a set that recent is around. Sort of humorous to see that downloading a full romset is still a challenge after all this time. I guess twice the games with more recent/larger games will do that.

OK- I can live without that feature, but see how it could be useful. I'll follow the fix for VLC. I'm OK 'freezing' my launchbox version now knowing that features may be added that cause problems for older versions of MAME. From prior front ends, it did not occur to me that updating the launcher could impact the emulator. They were likely more basic or required you to manually edit cfg files yourself. The first that looks for updates itself for sure. Not looking to update MAME (again) is just due to having started with it ~20 years ago back when you had to physically mail CD's to a contact that was willing to copy and mail back. DOS, editing text config files, clrmame, etc. Everything manual and took a lot of time troubleshooting to get things working. 149 is 'current' to me (37b lasted a long time) and only have trouble with a game or two. I'm not sure how many times I've updated at this point. Have also been through MAMEwah, hyperspin and others over the years to have the cabinet easy for people to use. Maybe things are more push button now to get things going with newer sets, but if it was stable and configured you left it alone unless you had a lot of time on your hands. Not sure what I'm missing in the newer emulation (aside from games from the late 90's on) and perhaps it now only takes a few hours to set up. In the past was a huge undertaking- and most sites from the past are long gone. -thanks

Thank you- Changing this allows roms to launch again. You are right they are -very- old. I did not find a known issues doc, but may not know where to look. Big box now has 2 errors, but still launches. Likely caused by the few hours of troubleshooting that I can work on later. thanks

Before update all working. Update, nothing will launch. Rollback results in launchbox not opening at all. Pretty disappointing given all the time invested in configuring. Not ok for purchased software. Who has the time to start all over with these projects. Never update mame given the tricky balance in versions and roms. Apparently should never update launchbox either.
