ahh, that does make sense. thankfully so many people willing to help here

thank you, that was it exactly. Not sure why there's a difference just on that one bit, as the rest of the prompts seem to be identical. always just assumed there was a specific reason I didn't know why it had mame seperatly like that

little background. I DID have mame installed fine, and working previously, and it did ask me at the time if I wanted to move, copy or use roms where they were. Originally I followed a tutorial and it worked great and everythings good. Fast forward a bit, I get a clean set of current roms and decide that instead f trying to update the ones in launchbox I'll just delete all the arcades/mame and start clean. all good so far. Unlike the tutorial I don't want to just blanky dump an almost 500 gig rom folder in launchbox, especially knowing most aren't gonna be used, specially the ones with CHD's Now, the issue comes when I try and import the roms. it will import them fine, but there is no longer a choice on HOW. when importing there is no longer a choice on copy, move or leave, it just goes for leave and I want it to copy the ones it wants to use is there a way to make it give me the option again, or at least changing the default
