[MAMEs working but not in LB]

Ok. You have 2 different rom sets, this is where the problem is then.

You really should have 1 set only and work with it and you should use the version of Mame that matches your rom set. If you different versions you will start to run into rom incompatibility.

That would make sense then. How do I find the couple of games I am missing in right rom set version?

[MAMEs working but not in LB]

I was mixing ROM sets in LB is that bad? I am using Mame64

[MAMEs working but not in LB]

I have two different ROM sets downloaded most of them are in .202 merged and I have another set that has other games that are in .0193 non merged. Please disregard the retroarch comment as that has nothing to do with this. LB is loading these directly through MAme

Can we clear up a few things here? In your original post you say you have a 0.193 romset, then in a later one its a 0.202, which is it? You also say you are using MAME, then later you say Retroarch, again which is it?

 

[MAMEs working but not in LB]

Sorry I am using Mame through LB.  I have seen posts about using command lines for some ROMs. It can not figure out how to do that.  Do I download an older version of Mame as well?  Then do what,  I tried that and there was no executable in the Mame folders

[MAMEs working but not in LB]

I am also using Retroarch in the background for the cores for other emulators (not Mame)

[MAMEs working but not in LB]

That is the odd thing it is.  Almost every game works but a few.  They launch fine directly from the Mame.exe but through launchboc I just get a flash of a dos screen and then nothing. I am using the latest version of Mame, laumchbox and the ROM set is .202

[MAMEs working but not in LB]

Still somewhat new to this, but i have a number of games that came from the MAME 0.193 non merged set that will work if I launch them through native MAME, but if I launch them through LB a DOS window pops up and shows a bunch of stuff and then disappears before I can read it and then it goes back to the LB screen.  These are games like PacMan, Galaga and Zaxxon.  Can someone help me out  Very frustrated

 

[Trackball not working when Mame launched through Launchbox]

Thank you. Now how do i set up games from other platforms like sega or nes?  Do i need other emulators?  Thank you again

[Trackball not working when Mame launched through Launchbox]

I am working on it now.  When setting up the Rom path, I have a lot of different folders like Sega, Mame, NES and so on. They are all under the E directory and that is all that is in this directory.  Can I just point it to E or do I have to list each subfolder?

[Trackball not working when Mame launched through Launchbox]

So maybe this is my issue. Is there a video on how to set this up directly without RA. I was told to use by a friend that set it up but I do not care as long as everything works

[Trackball not working when Mame launched through Launchbox]

So you go directly from Mame to LB?  

[Trackball not working when Mame launched through Launchbox]

Not sure what is going on with my reply, but even after installing MAME again It is not working.  What can I show you to see if someone can help me.  Do I need to reinstall Retroarch?  Would that screw up all the info I have downloaded?

 

 

[Trackball not working when Mame launched through Launchbox]

Ok I am going to reinstall Mame and see if that works. And send an update in like 2 hours. And I did not do any config work with Maximus it just worked right as I plugged it in. Thank you

[Trackball not working when Mame launched through Launchbox]

Thank you.  I am using GT 2K, it works with the trackball in Maximus Arcade just not through LB/ BB.  I am using the X-Arcade Tank Stick.  Should I delete MAME and reinstall it?  Any other suggestions?  Just so I am giving you all the info, I have Mame64 running with retroarch and Launchbox/ Big Box.

[Trackball not working when Mame launched through Launchbox]

 

Thank you for the quick reply, but that did not work either.  I have teh .ini file in the same folder as the exe file and did everything else.  Any other ideas?

 

 

[Trackball not working when Mame launched through Launchbox]

Should i turn the mouse setting to a 1 as well

[Trackball not working when Mame launched through Launchbox]

I have followed this thread and I am not getting success.  I am hoping someone can help me.  Here is my config from the mame.ini file  I have tried changing the Mouse to a 1 but when I launch anything with the trackball in Launchbox the trackball does not work.  Really wanting to get Golden Tee up and running.  Works fine in Maximus Arcade.
