When I click on tools and try and run the download metadata and media I get this error. How do I fix this? Just started having this problem today. Thanks

Awesome news about the new MAME metadata importer for modern versions of MAME. I guess I can't bug you any more about when the new metadata will be released. Works like a charm.

Yup. Well after updating to MAME 228 and a fresh install everything is working now. ??

Well 228 just came out today. I'm going to update and then try 224 before the changes were made to odyssey2. Thanks

Thanks still have a problem and now I just broke my Atari 5200. All I did was switch emulators and switched back and now it doesn't launch. I'm ready to toss out the window. Update: fixed my Atari 5200. Still having issues on Odyssey 2. I'll keep plugging away.

That's not the issue. It was working no problem and again I'm not using MAME software list for Odyssey2. I'm using no-into sets just like the other systems I mentioned above. As for MAME I have a complete current 227 set CHD, roms and software list. I don't want to use the mame software list. I'm using a complete USA no-intro sets for my console systems. Any other suggestion why this is not working? Update: I think something si going on with my Rocketlauncher because it doesn't work over there and for some reason my sets in LB want to use my configuration in RL. Thanks

Just MAME64 and Launchbox. Not a fan of RA especially with 10 year old cores for MAME, whats the point in using that lol. But yes I'm stumped why I can't get this system working but I have no issues with others like NES, SNES, Intellivsion, Coleco etc.....The systems I mentioned above I use no intro sets with MAME64 and Launchbox with no issues. Just don't know what the issue is with Odyssey2. Any help would be great.

Thanks I looked at that thread and nothing worked.

I'm having the same issue with systems like Odyssey2. Works out of MAME command but RL seems to want to launch it but nothing happens. I have other systems working fine like SNES, I just want to use MAME without RA. Also does the same thing in Rocketlauncher. Thanks

Thanks but that didn't work either. I tried famicom - cart and nes - cart. Neither works. Again I'm not using Famicom mame roms. I'm using my hyperspin ready set which I have done for other systems in LB using mame as the emulator with no problem. In fact I don't even have to add those command in MAME emulator for other systems to work in LB example: NES, SNES, Bally, Gameboy etc..... All work using my Hyperspin Ready set roms and MAME as the emulator. SO my question is why doesn't it work for the Famicom, Super Famicom, and NEC PC Engine? Any help would be appreciative. I got Famicom Disk working in LB which is the same way I'm trying to set these up. Pulling hair out lol.

Ok so I'm getting a little frustrated. I am not able to lunch these games in LB. I created Famicom and imported the roms. They are not MAME roms. Next I scraped as NES. It created a list but no games launch. I'm using MAME as the emulator. This setup works in HS and also regular MAME. Not sure what I'm doing wrong. I had no problem with other sets like NES. THANKS

Just curious when will MAME 227 metadata be added? Thanks

Was the database updated to MAME 222? Asking for a friend.

Thanks

Glad this topic is being talked about. Mame is the main reason most people got into emulation. Each release either has new games added or fixed games that were marked not working. Would be great to see what database is being used on LB. Or better yet a tool for us to create it ourselves that works on LB.

Is there a way to see which database version is being used on launchbox? Also how often are MAME databases updated here? Thanks

So LB is like HS and we have to wait for a new database to be created on every new MAME release? Why can't LB create its own using the xml like MALA? Thanks

Well it finally worked. Been doing what you mentioned before but wasn't working. Now I have my MAME video snaps and MAME video themes working named after the rom. Thanks

Thanks for the reply everyone. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong but when I try and just add my video snapshots for MAME from HS which the videos are named after the rom LB doesn't recognize them. When I try and download media from LB and use only from Emumovies DB only it still downloads the videos with the name of the game and not the rom. I want LB to only use MAME roms names not the game title. Thanks

How do I do this? Thanks

I'm very new to LB. Been using Hyperspin forever and this MAME High Score feature made me dust off the cobwebs and play some classic games. Thanks for this feature.

Every time I try LB downloads the video themes and artwork using the full name. How do I make it using the MAME rom names? I just want to transfer my media from HS to here without having to d/l everything again. When I try placing my existing media in LB it does not recognize the rom name.

Thanks. Grabbed it from the FTP. Had to change the name but all good. Actually I have a question about how LB uses names. HS would use the rom name for videos and themes but here it uses the full name. Is there s way to have LB use the rom names for videos and themes. Sorry little off topic. Thanks

Does this clone have its own theme? I know there is one from HS but can't locate it here. Thanks

Oh yes I lost many due form failed HD. That's why I have so many drives backing stuff up. After looking looks like its been around 15+ years doing this on and off.
