So Neat things. Seems old Mameui64 187 can run the new romset 202 fine. Cannot launch roms through LB though. Thus adding more weight to when it come to Mame emulators and LB the roms Have to be in the Mame emulators rom folder. to test this further I placed all the files needed to run arkanoid in my launchbox/emulators/mame64ui/roms folder and guess what, It worked, even though that directory is not set up in the actual emulator, which is looking in my launchbox/emulators/mame220b/roms folder. This means to me LB does override the emulators directory paths somewhat, but for mame (mame 220b and mame64ui 187 only so far)the games HAVE TO BE IN THE EMULATOR ROM DIRECTORY. At least on my system for some reason.

A bit tedious still but will work great with those pesky mame sets. 1). As you play tag all the games you don't want as favorites or some other list 2.) navigate to that list 2.5) .Right click on a game then hit ctrl + a to select them all 3). use tools to move those selected files somewhere else . 4). Navigate to folder "O' fun" in explorer 6) Delete folder.

that increasing internal rez might be a false memory.. Back to my question of batch removing unwanted roms, or deleting the files of the HD straight from the gui (that would be soo cool) I'm attaching me rom directory structure to see if that will help clarify things tree.txt

Also cant find any info on increasing the internal resolution , for 3d games, in mame 202, like I was easily able to do in old mame64gui (which just does not run new rom sets)

im pretty sure its not merged looks like bios's have their own zips, chds are each in a seperate folder manching parent rom zip file name, noy sure if the roms zips are merged or not as there are quite a fre with the same name but serperate identafires ie bob , boba, bob1, bobc ect.... What are your thoughts? Oh and as Crochety as I am I do thank you very much, From the binary of my code, for all your tips and help.

That worked. Now How may I easily delete all the extra roms that I dont want like some of the ones with 60 gig chd's and a bunch of other ones. It seems that lauchbox displays a select bunch of roms but all the files for the ignored ones still bloat the collection.

um I told mame where they were when they were in launchbox roms. and they did not work either via launchbox or mame, sooo...somethings off. now they are in launchbox emulators mamenew roms , and its working fine .. figuring out bezels via bezel rpoject now.

update: ok so for some weird reason the roms HAVE to be in the roms folder in mame and NOT ANYWHERE ELSE it seems. WOrks now , no bazels tho yet, not as many options (or they are not as easy to find) as old mame64ui..

import mame set does not seem to give your the option of moving or copying the files to launchbox games like rom import does. I was hoping to use it it to sort out all the non working and cocktail and mechanical games to give me a more refined list but it looks like im going to have to go through all 35000 one by one. Woof. Told mame .220 where all my roms are in mame. Have all my chds in folders mathcing the name of the zipped roms. Nothing NOthing works. Mame64gui.46 worked wayy better than this. I cant believe I spent 75 f'n buks and now im getting pissed.!!!

neil9000 thank you for the info will investigate.

lb does not even see the new cores, im dong this to get bezels over my games. used to do it automatically. now i have to do it one by one for each game in ra and the bezels still not work with some cores for some systems. its almost worse than keeping up to date with mame and set releases.

Pixelpiper : Yes but new ra is not providing most of the mednafun (however its spelled)liberto cores new lauchbox recognizes

Having the same issue. retroarch does not provide the cores listed in launchbox anymore so using launchbox in conjuction with retroarch is a no go, as far as I can tell.

Great looking collection. how do I get them to work with launchbox / bigbox?
