The problem I think is that this executable (Arcade64.exe) uses the same roms/hiscores/etc folder as the MAME that Launchbox uses as a reference for online hi-scores, so when you start any game that starts sharing that set of resources (roms/plugins/configs), Launchbox takes it as part of the general configuration it has for MAME at that moment. That's why in my first post I stressed that Launchbox should differentiate between different MAME executables (and the commands they run with) so as not to restrict the use of cheats to all executables equally if the online hi-scores option is enabled. I have tried moving Arcade64.exe to another folder but Launchbox behaves the same way, not allowing quicksaves and cheats using Arcade64.exe, So far I have not been able to find a solution.

Ok. I have generated a ticket at Help&Support. If anyone else is interested in having this functionality included on Launchbox, please go to the link below and vote for it. Thank you! https://feedback.launchbox.gg/p/feature-request-a-switch-button-on-the-main-screen-that

The convenient thing would be for Launchbox to automatically disconnect hiscore uploads if it detects that cheats are enabled in the MAME I'm launching. That's why I'm talking about two different versions of MAME. In fact, I have one called Arcade64, which is the one I use to do all my roms' cheats, BUT, I have to exit Launchbox and use its own GUI every time I want to test with that version, or go to the Launchbox menu and turn off the hi-scores upload option, which is not very convenient. Maybe one day they will make it easier. Edit: Another less laborious option for Launchbox developers would be to put an easily accessible button to activate/deactivate the hi-scores upload option, and not have to enter the menu each time, with the drawback that you don't know if you left it activated or deactivated last time. If the button were visible from the main window, you would know what state the option is in before launching any game.

My question is, Can I have two versions of MAME, one for hiscore competition and other for using cheats/savestates/training and use the right mouse button to choose which version I want to launch the game with? Or am I forced to go into the options menu every time I want to launch the game with cheats to disable the ‘upload hiscores’ option? If so, it would be more convenient for Launchbox to detect which launch options I have enabled in each MAME executable and, for example, not allow hiscores to be uploaded if the -plugin cheat option is enabled (as well as allowing quicksaves).

Hello, After installing an older version of Launchbox, I have managed to get this wonderful plugin working. I thank the author for his work, because with this utility we can filter the huge content that MAME has, at our convenience. I personally have used clearmame pro to clean the set, leave only the arcade games (no mechanical games, gambling, quiz, etc) and added some roms that are not supported by the official release of MAME ;D. Finally I have used the plugin to make Launchbox show the extended names of the roms, so LB can identify them properly. It would be great if JoeViking could update the plugin to work on current versions of Launchbox. Thanks again for the great work!

Almost done!

Lambda is my favourite/default theme (i dont use big box, only desktop UI). Thanks Shadowfire and keep up the good work!

Hello. It would be great if Launchbox had true dark mode, meaning that the context/configuration menus looked dark too. Another thing that I miss is that by maximizing the program window, you can still access the windows autohide taskbar. Thank you!

I have downloaded from here: https://www.mamedev.org/release.php , and extracted mame.exe to the directory where i have other versions of mame. PD: I have done an xml database (mame -listxml >database.xml on cmd window) - Can i give to launchbox that database.xml? PD2: Finally make it works, but manually adding the roms, wizard won't work for me

I'm trying to import 0.235 fullset but the system give me this error: Any ideas?

Yeah, sorry. I deleted my chrome cookies and it works.

Still not working... maybe i have a problem with the coockies?

Hello. Cant log in to the data base. Its me or the server is down? https://gamesdb.launchbox-app.com/account

Hello. Where can i change the font sizes of the entire theme? Specially the gameinfo text and the systemslists text. Seems very small at 1920x1080. Other thing is the justify of the gamedetails column .. the text is very close to the margins (1), and the first paragraph is very close to the title (2).

Amazing. Thanks for sharing this tribute. Hope one day we can make the same for Commodore Amiga without copyright problems
