If you start MAME with the -v option using either Power Shell or Command Prompt are the devices show there?
sorry, how do I launch that in Command prompt? What do I type?

have you enabled those input types in the mame.ini
Hi,
Yes, I went in and they were both "keyboard". I changed them both to "mouse"

Hi,
I built an arcade stick with a Tron joystick, spinner and trackball. The Tron joystick works. The LED trackball lights up. However, the trackball and spinner do not work. I've tried configuring in Mame, and neither is even detected. From my understanding, the trackball should at least work in Windows, but it doesn't. I have both trackball and spinner connected to a 12-1 interface board.
please help. I'm so close!

It is because of the new dynamic box sizing. Unfortunately to get this back to how it was you would have to turn that feature off. You have to go to >Tools>Options>Visuals>Boxes and uncheck "Dynamic Box Sizing".
Thank you so much!
I find it scrolls and refreshes better now too. I suspect that is also why I've been experiencing the odd crash when scrolling too quickly.

Hi,
After update 8 I believe, every time I go through my games list in Launchbox and delete games that I don't want displayed, when it refreshes it jumps all the way back to the top. So if I delete an "S" game, it jumps all the way back to "#" at the top. Then I have to scroll all the way back to where I was to continue. Launchbox never used to do this until maybe 2 updates ago. Is there any way to correct this? It's time consuming.
thx

New beta fixes a lot of this. So I would suggest using the beta. Unless you prefer not use betas than your best option is either use "Old Default" theme in 10.9 or revert to 10.7 until next stable release.
Thanks for the advice
-
I just tried the BAD Old Monkey theme with 10.9. Same results. I'm going to try to go back to 10.7. I've never had issues before.

I'm crashing too since the update. If I delete a game from LB, it now scrolls all the way back to the top. So if I delete a "T" game, it now scrolls all the way back to the top. Also, I notice that the game boxes in the list change resolution for a second, then LB crashes (I just get the spinning mouse wheel). I've exited, rebooted the PC and tried again. No luck.

Can you share a image of a zip, and another of the contents of it?
OMG. I'm so stupid. I didn't realize the Rom folder already had the damn bios files! I checked it more thoroughly and I see that the bios files are already in there. That's why it's asking to overwrite.
I'm so sorry to waste your time. Thanks for trying to help though. You guys are awesome and I love Launchbox!

If they are named incorrectly then they wont work, period. MAME is looking for specifically named files, so if yours are not named the way MAME needs them then they will not work.
They're zip files with the same name as the Rom files. But they're definitely bios files. The files themselves are much smaller than the roms.

The bios should not be named the same as the Mame roms. Each bios required by Mame has its own unique name. They typically get stored with the roms.
That's how they came. I don't know who created it. Which means I can't copy to the mame folder or it'll overwrite.

If all is working fine then you probably have the bios where they need to be unless I misunderstand what you mean by that. If you downloaded a full romset normally all the bios are in that set.
Mame bios files can get dumped into the same folder as Mame roms. If you choose to put them elsewhere you just need to point Mame to that folder location. Launchbox only needs to know where the roms are. Unless you used the full Mame romset import option then it does not care as long as you have a full romset and Mame is already pointing to it.
Hi,
How do I tell Mame where to look for the Bios files? The Bios files I have are named exactly the same as the Mame roms, so it tries to overwrite. I created a new folder called bios, but I'm not exactly sure how to tell Mame where to look.
thx

This should be doable, just have to map the controls for that specific game.
Cool. Thanks

Hi guys,
Does anyone know if you can use 2 controllers at the same time in Mame? For example, a joystick controller and one of those home made spinner controllers (from a mouse). I'm thinking of Tron controls, where you need a joystick, fire button, and spinner. Since that's not all on one controller, can it be set up in Mame?
thx
-
Thanks guys. This solves my problem. I must have been in the wrong section when I was programming. I set the joystick for left and right but that was the only change I made from yours.
Do either of you happen to know if you can set a different controller to work on certain games? Like a Gamesir for one game and the Mayflash for another?
-
Hi,
im having this weird issue. I have the Mayflash F300 elite controller. When I launch Asteroids Deluxe in Launchbox (Mame emu), the joystick works, fire and thrust buttons work, but for the life of me, I can’t get the “shields” to work with any button! I tried remapping buttons, but it seems to keep fire and thrust as the same buttons regardless of where I map them, and it still refuses to give me “shields”. I thought it was easy to just assign buttons where I wanted them?
Any help please?
-
Thanks!

.wad files are also the format for Doom levels.
Are you normally in the habit of just downloading files you don't know what they are or are for ?
No. I purchased a modded wii, and the system has arcade games and turbo graphics games on it and they are .wad files. I was wondering if theyd play in Launchbox using an emulator.
-
Awesome. I'll try that. Thx
-
Does anyone know if .wad files are playable in Launchbox and how (emulator?)
Thx
-
Sorry guys. Turns out I had to update the drivers for my Intel GPU.
Thanks though

Hi guys,
Redream keeps crashing for me. I click on a cdi game, it opens to a black screen. I try Redream outside of Launchbox, and the second I click on anything within the Redream menu, the program crashes.
It loads on one PC (older) but not my newer pc that I set up for gaming.
Any thoughts?
Trackball/spinner not detected Mame
in Emulation

Ok. I'm in Mame now. I didn't see it add any input device like you typed.
