    First try with the two above mentioned tickboxes empty. That way, your mame.ini doesn't need to know where the games are, but LaunchBox does of course.

    Set your Acorn Electron default parameters to
    electron -ab *TAPE\nCHAIN\"\"\n -autoboot_delay 2 -cass

    Edit one of your games, say Boxer, and open the Launching tab and check that it's pointing to the game
    In your case this may be
    g:\emulators\acorn\electron\games\boxer.zip

    Launch the game and see if it loads.

     


     

    I tried the default parameters as above but got mame loading - it said initialising, loading machine then went off.

    I also checked the games launching tab and confirmed its pointing to the right place.

  2. I tried with JoeViking235's 1st suggestion (editing the ini)  but this made no difference so I tried the second one (remove the last slash) and I get a mame window briefly appear with initialising on it but then it disappears again.

    I can confirm that the bios file is in the rompath folder (and the normal MAME roms folder).

    If I open a command window and type g:\emulators\arcade\mame\mame64.exe electron -rompath "G:\emulators\acorn\electron\games" - cass "g:\emulators\acorn\electron\games\FULLGAMENAME" the game loads fine and works perfectly.  I just cant seem to get the same thing to work in Launchbox.  I am quite familiar with running stuff from CMD but just cant figure out whats wrong here.

  3. Hi

    I am trying to add some of the more obscure platforms to Launchbox using MAME but I'm not able to get them to work (although if I use the command line to launch Mame and the game it does work).

    Is it possible to see what the exact command line Launchbox is using to play a game so I can see where I am going wrong?
