  1. The ini folder has presets and the 2 files I got from you.

    then there is  plugin.ini and in.ini on the page with the EXE file.

    I did a computer search for mame.ini and nothing came up.

     

    Still looking.  using mame64.  the file will be mame.ini correct?

    I know this isn't a solution to games looking worse on modern displays, but some people use shaders to try and recreate the 'look' from old CRTs. If done correctly, your brain will be tricked into filling in some gaps created by the shaders. Just a thought, and of course you need to use emulators that support these shaders. Retroarch is a good one to try if you decide to go down this road. MAME standalone also supports a number of shader effects.

    I remember one effect that put scan lines in the screen

     

  3. I may need a cabinet and a joystick set up, to capture some of the nostalgia.

    The games are almost unplayable now.

    Maybe I'll search for an old CRT monitor.

     

     

  4. What is everybody using for a display?

    I am on a 27-inch gaming monitor 144 MHz and I can't say that any games look good.

    Maybe my memory is off and they always looked bad?

     

     

  5. ok, so I got bezels enabled, but they don't show up.  I'm guessing I don't have the artwork to display on the set i just downloaded.

    If I want to move the bezels from my old set to this new set, where would they be?

    I looked through some folders, but could not find them. 

  6. I got the 0.202 merged set and everything works.

    A few posts back I complained about the bezel that was displayed around the screen.  (an actual photo of the real bezel that displayed around the playable area of the screen)

    How do I get that back?

     

  7. round 2

    I got the most recent rom pack and Mame64 to go with it.

    Am I wrong, or are there roms for every emulated console in there? 

    Where are the arcade roms?  I see a folder that says mame 0.202 software list roms (merged), but when I open that there is a N64 folder with Nintendo 64 games and a folder that says X68K flop

    bezels are a personal preference, but depending on your monitor aspect, you might want to hang on to them. I find that playing games with a vertical aspect, stretched over your widescreen very unsatisfying. 

    yes, I got this big 27 inch monitor and with the bezel displayed, the screen yardage on some games would fit in a 12 inch monitor.

  9. ok, so even with norton removing files, my old romset works perfectly in launchbox.

    My issue must be with the romsets I have been trying to get recently.  they are somehow not compatible with the emulators I'm getting.

     

    couple more questions.

     

    my romset only has 3000 games, I assume that is including bootlegs (that don't show up), and is tough to find games.  How would navigate a full rom set  (30,000 games?)?

    with a current setup, do you still have to press OK?

    How do I get rid of the bezel art? so It does not show up when I play? 

  10. I just found my old romset from 2009.    All of the roms worked with MAMEUl32.  

    I will try and put that in launchbox and see what happens.

     

    Watching some of the videos now while I download from my storage media.

  11. I just don't understand.  I've built computers, I've used mame since the middle 2000's since it was released.  I got a raspberry pi retro setup going.

    I can't get this front end going.  

    It seems simple.  Put an emulator somewhere, point launchbox to the exe file of the emulator.  Put the roms in the rom folder zipped. 

    I can't seem to find rompacks that work.  I don't have my old romset.

    I'm too knowledgeable not to be able to get this to work.
