OK so the game launches fine outside LB with official MAME exe. I imported the game file but it won't open when using LB and MAME as the default emulator. Click on the game and nothing happens.
OK so I checked or unchecked the boxes in your screenshot. Only thing I had to change was check the forceful pause screen activation. I checked multiple pause themes and all work. Thanks
PS This also solved the startup themes.
For some reason the pause feature is not working. It works like less then 10% of the time. I'm using the default Pause theme. Pause key is set to P. MAME default pause key is F5. When I hit the P button the theme shows but I can't choose anything and I have to force close LB. Then MAME is running in the background where I have to force close that using task manager.

So I have been messing around trying to get some high score using the LB. I noticed in the game Demolition Derby its not saving the scores to the high score leader board. I removed the Nvram and HI score file in MAME and still not working. Default game is demoderb.
I don't see the filter for game saves. Your theme supports this? Option to view only games that support this. I didn't see it in the drop down menu filter.

Lol. Thanks. Little competition between my friend for over 40 years (2nd place). Just had this screen shot to show you what I was talking about. With the arrows and how you can view different things. Thought the dats could be added there.
Speaking of dat files. This just came out today

Thanks. Yes I was referring to those plugin for the community highsxores and retriacheivents. When viewing games that support these on the launchbox themes it has the little arrows where you can click to next page and view those. Thought those dats could be in the same area.
Well that stinks lol. I know I can launch a game using mame in launchbox and hit tab to view these. Just wish it was easier like how you can scroll through viewing high scores, retroachievements, etc
So I was wondering how do I view these dat files in Launchbox? History and MAMeinfo in particular? As of now I have them in my MAME dat folder and when I use official MAME I can view them or MAMEUI or Arcade64. How can I view them in Launchbox? Do any themes support this? Would be a nice added feature like how you can view high scores and achievements.
I deleted the plugins anything related to exo. That did the trick. So one more thing instead of starting another topic. Last thing I need to fix is the retroachievments. It's still showing mine. I disabled it in retroarch but still shows my retro score in launchbox.
Update: I got rid of it.
OK so I'm make a copy of my LB and stuff for a friend. He has his own LB license which shows his name. I'm not giving him an exact copy of my stuff because his drive is not as big. So I deleted systems and roms like exodos stuff. Now when I start his LB it shows this popup. I did what it says but still shows when launching LB. There has to be a file or config that is still hiding somewhere. Any help removing this would be great.
Thanks
