Nice. So the first game loaded as you said but it loaded in a very small window. Do I need to put anything in the bat file to make it load fullscreen or is that a command in LB? Also, will I have to redo all my controls, bezel W/H/X/Y etc? Thx

Wow. Awesome! I will try this now, thank you so much. I was really lost when you said batch file! I will do my homework and get up on that for sure now. Thx again!

Thank you for the quick response. I will figure out how to do a bat file, I'm pretty new to that part of it. Any guidance on how or where to start would be helpful. I do appreciate your time!

Here are some snap shots.

Good afternoon all! I need some expert advise on how to direct start .trk files for Monaco GP remake in launchbox/bigbox? I have added mgpr.exe as an emulator and pointed the rom file to both attract/ game .trk both start and go to the .exe and you have to choose which version you wanted played. I want to start game direct without the selection menu. There are 3x different racing options Arcade, Pursuit, Stunt that I want to load separately to LB. I have configure files for each game. The maker of this great remake has this for commandline. Problem is it goes to menu, I want to just start game. The games launch great and play excellent once selected from menu I just want to eliminate that step. Any help would be greatly appreciated. mgpr -cfg pro_arcade_1360x768.cfg

Wow! Not exactly sure what happen. I deleted game from LB and decided to start over and somehow it worked!! I followed your last recommendation and it worked perfectly. Now game launches in LB as well as Mame. NICE!!! I cant thank you enough for sticking with me on this. I really appreciate it! This was my first time on this forum and was not sure if I was going to get help much less right away! Many thanks my friend......

You have - in your rom and I have +. I dont think that matters but just asking.

No luck! I did it exactly like yours says loading and nothing happens. I may just have to use mame direct to play those 2 games. Its not a big deal, just wanted to use LB like I have been. This is insane!

yes only 1 copy of Mame.

Lol. As God is my witness it works just fine in Mame direct. Yes it looks just like that only when I select Odyssey 2 then it goes to all the roms and I select the Speedway one and it look exactly like that. I hit 1 on KB and 2 for skill and off I go playing it just fine. In LB the only time it would load to a gray screen is when I had it pointed to odyssey2.zip it will open but screen was gray not as above. I will try as listed above and see what happens, thanks again for the effort!

sorry no other games for this Magnavox Odyssey 2. I only wanted the Speedway and spinout for this race mod cabinet. I have over 300 race games using many emulators all work great etc. This M Odyssey 2 using Mame is killing me!

Here is the screenshot. I have tried with them checked and without checks. Nothing.

Put the full path in custom command line parameters "mame64.exe odyssey2 -cart "C:\Users\harle\LaunchBox\Magnavox Odyssey 2 Roms\3rcsocpt.zip" with zip in the LB/Magnavox Odyssey2 roms folders. Just says loading then nothing! I will keep messing with it, I must be missing something somewhere. Thanks again for taking the time. Hope this helps someone else down the road.

I went to the LB/ Magnavox Odyssey2 folder and no games are in there. I did try renaming the zip to 3rcsocpt.zip and also put the bin in there. I pointed LB rom path to it nothing happen. I tried it leaving it in the LB/ M Odyssey 2 folder and tried it putting it in Mame/ Roms folder. Nothing! The only way LB has opened it with a gray screen is pointing it to odyssey2.zip. I can not seem to figure out why even with commandline you gave before I still get gray screen. I will try your recent reply. Thx Joe!

Here is what it shows in XML. No ini file to be found. still can not locate the 3rcsocpt.zip. Is there a command line to launch this application line? maybe thats an option? <ApplicationPath>C:\Users\harle\LaunchBox\Magnavox Odyssey 2 Roms\3rcsocpt.zip</ApplicationPath> <Completed>false</Completed> <DateAdded>2020-05-18T09:33:03.4110673-05:00</DateAdded> <DateModified>2020-05-18T09:33:03.4110673-05:00</DateModified> <Emulator>413a4883-b320-434e-abe1-eb2131cc1493</Emulator> <Favorite>false</Favorite> <ID>1c8e8798-5937-4d13-bd88-b0abd1910255</ID> <Platform>Magnavox Odyssey 2</Platform> <ScummVMAspectCorrection>false</ScummVMAspectCorrection> <ScummVMFullscreen>false</ScummVMFullscreen> <StarRatingFloat>0</StarRatingFloat> <StarRating>0</StarRating> <CommunityStarRating>0</CommunityStarRating> <CommunityStarRatingTotalVotes>0</CommunityStarRatingTotalVotes> <Title>Race/Spin-Out/Cryptogram (Euro) ~ Speedway/Spin-Out/Crypto-logic (USA)</Title> <UseDosBox>false</UseDosBox> <UseScummVM>false</UseScummVM>

Thanks again for the help. Your Mame looks like mine exactly and Odyssey2.zip does only contain the o2bios in there now. I did try before renaming zip to 3rcsocpt.zip with the Speedway + Spin-out + Crypto-logic (USA, Europe).bin in it. It did not work directly from launchbox. Launchbox does load but I get a gray screen. I will review your above carefully and go back through it and ensure I have all bases covered, thanks again for your time. I appreciate it!

This is in the hash file.

Yes. "odyssey2.zip" is located in ../Mame/roms folder. As far as the 3rcsocpt.zip I dont see that file, I see the name once I'm in Mame select Odyssey 2 and then click on Speeway+Spinout file. Thats where I got the romset name from. I have been searching but that zip is no where to be found. Its there somewhere, mame is picking it up from the Odyssey2.zip. Even when I open the Odyssey2.zip no file by that name is located in there.

Mame sees Odyssey2 which romset is Odyssesy2.zip. Once you click that and scroll to Speedway rom its romset 3rcspcpt. That rom is embed somewhere in the O2bios.bin I guess. I dont see it? Not sure how to get it load straight from launchbox. Is there another command line I need other than odyssey2 -cart?

I wanted to be clear. In Mame I have to click on Odyssey 2 and then I get to see all the games from there I select the race rom. Mame only sees Odyssey2.zip, Launchbox will see it and open it through Mame but it gives me a gray screen with no game selections even with your command line. I tried pointing to correct zip as you mentioned but still no luck.

Ok, will try that. this was a direct download and not something I got from the romset. I have a race mod and only wanted speedway, spin-out. I also downloaded the mame softlist and put that in the launchbox plugin. I go back and make this correction and see what happens. Thx

No luck. I tried the command line, it says loading then nothing end game. I have attached my game edit screen shots, maybe I'm doing something else wrong. Thx

Thank you for the quick response. The specific game I am having a problem loading into launchbox is ( Speedway + Spin-out + Crypto-logic (USA, Europe).bin) I have located inside the odyssey2.zip file along with o2bios.rom, 3x other SP##-##.bins files. I tried loading the original Speedway + Spin-out + Crypto-logic (USA, Europe).zip with no luck. Launchbox would not load it, Mame loads it just fine after I go through Odyssey2 selection. I will try that command line and see what happens, I will update in a few. Thanks again for the advise!
