It’s pointed to the same rom file. All the others in the folder work. It’s looking for a full set of files for kinst. I’ll try to delete and pull it in a different way. It’s doing the exact same to killer instinct 2 and they both work in mame.. I’ll do more testing and get back to you guys Sunday.

I believe Mame version .218. 64bit version. it was working fine all this time. Update: i tested longer in MAME and nothing froze or repeated the issue, so I decided to uninstall Launchbox and start over after testing all the buttons and joystick directions to make sure everything works and nothing is cross wired. Didn't have much time to test the new install, but I will this week. Strange that this happened but I do have a lot of kids playing on this machine every night. I decided to take the keyboard away so they can't try pushing keys like crazy and change things. hopefully this is it.

I tried looking at other threads on this but couldn't find exactly what I need. I have a few machines. One at my JiuJitsu academy and one at home I just built. The one at the academy has Killer Instinct 1 and 2 and they work fine. No Issues at all. I copied the files, kinst.zip and the CHD folder. brought them home and placed them in my Mame directory which is the exact mame version that other machine is running. The game works fine in Mame, so then I populated it into Launchbox and it won't load. It acts likes its loading and it goes back to the main screen. I think its trying to load the incorrect version because its asking for a file I don't have in the folder. but I already know it doesn't need it since the academy arcade works fine in mame and launchbox and this game works fine in mame on this same machine. I figure I can't be the only one with this issue. I appreciate the help.

Did some more testing. Its not the boards. In mame 64.. not sure which version but I haven't changed it since i built it over 6 months ago.. it never happens. Works perfectly. but in either Launchbox or BigBox it will do it even after I installed the latest update. once it happened, I tried a few things. I unplugged the control stick from the usb cord and plugged it back in.. Same issue.. Then I tried to reprogram the start button to another button: It let me reprogram the button as if its working just fine, but it will not let me start the game. I even set the game to freeplay and nothing. Very strange issue. Tomorrow I will see if it effects all the games. I only had time to check Galaga. Im very frustrated because i let the kids use this arcade all the time and they love playing on it.. but now it has issues. The game will work for a few rounds, then it just won't let you start the game... crazy.

Thats not good.. I have been using them for a while.. I'm currently building an amazing arcade cabinet and would hate for this guy to have issues later down the road. Im going to take a new control board to my jiujitsu academy and see if that fixes it. Trial and error should fix this issue. I appreciate your help! keep up the good work... thank you

EasyGet LED joystick and buttons. The arcade has worked for over 6 months no issues on Bigbox.. its strange this started happening. Ill keep testing when i have time.

This just started to happen.. I have not updated lunchbox to the latest, which i will try tomorrow. But I wanted to know if anyone has seen this issue. Boot the PC and then run BIGBOX. Select a game and it loads no problem. Hit the button for coins then start the game. Doesn't matter what game , it happens to all of them. The game plays no issues for about 2-3 times. Then when you try and play 4th or 5th time the player start button quits working. The only button that continues to work is the coin button. I reboot BigBox. Game loads up and I add coins, the player start doesn't work. So I reboot the PC and this whole process starts over. I tried using just Launchbox without big box.. same issue.. So then i run it using only Mame64 and it works fine. Something is messed up in Launchbox and it all the sudden started doing this. Please help if you can.. thank you.
