DANYCYO

I have several folders of emulators and rom's 25,151 to be exact . Recently I got the Jconfig setup to work for Winter X Games for TeknoParrot. I have the root file of this game in a folder outside of my TeknoParrot files and run it directly from the JConfig file without any issue so it doesn't interfere with Teknoparrot. When I run it directly from the folder I have no issues and the game runs perfect. When I import it into Launch box and download artwork and attempt to play the screen just goes dark but you can still hear the music of the game and that the controls still work. When I try to launch the game after deleting it from launchbox it stops working all together and I have to reinstall everything Keep in mind I can run the game in the folder 20 times non stop before importing into Launchbox. Does launchbox change anything with the file when downloading artwork or attempt to launch in a different resolution that what's indicated in jconfig? any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance guys.

how do I add this emulator to Launch Box? There is no default for it such as the other consoles and when I try to add it manually it gives me an error stating "please enter at least one applicable platform on the grid" how do I get this added. The roms/emulator work outside of LaunchBox.

Thanks for the help guys forgive my newbiness. So here is my next question. Is there a way to export MAME roms from launch box that I have listed as my favorites so I can have a folder of the roms that I know work fine and then carry just those titles over being that I know they work correctly? (I am not certain what version the roms are but I know they work on .187 and version 126 also). I currently have a full rom set of 4000 games that work with version .187. How can I update the romset version to ensure it will be compatible on 126? do I need to test each one individually? or do I just download a full romset version for 126 and then just replace any existing files in the folder by pasting them into that folder and having it replace any duplicates etc.?

So all of my roms are in individual zip files but as you mentioned only certain roms are compatible with certain versions of MAME thus needing a full set for that version. For those that have a full arcade how many different versions of MAME are you using on your Launch box to get the majority of these titles working? I see there are programs on the net that do organize and remove duplicates, clones, and will organize by version. That seems like the easy way to go rather then redownloading 60gb of full rom sets when I already have them all in a single folder. I just downloaded the newest mame version 126. There has to be an easier way to accomplish this. I have all my other emulators and roms setup but mame has to be the challenge and the most important piece of the puzzle for my home build. This would also mean that I would need to set individual controls for each version of MAME which isn't too difficult but just a PITA.

so the challenge is that I have collected roms over the years from different versions of MAME not just romset version .187. The problem is I put my entire mame rom collection in 1 folder so I don't know which romset version each game is. I am currently using mame version .187 and it works with the .187 roms but i have several other games that aren't working in LaunchBox although the titles generate. Now when I exported all the titles to Lunch box some titles will play and others won't. Is there an application that will auto organize them or is there a version of mame that plays all rom set versions?

ok so the issue is that I have 1 folder with all of my Mame Roms approximately 69gbs worth. Certain games require different versions of Mame to run. I am currently using version .187 on my build but certain games are incompatible with this version that I want to play. I created a platform called Arcade and it has a lot of titles in it. How can I filter just the MAME games that are compatible in that platform. If I can do that then I plan on downloading other MAME versions and just creating other Platforms and filtering so those platforms will filter with just those titles Any help would be appreciated. The consoles were much easier to setup than the Arcade. I essentially want to be able to click on any box art or most box art and have the version the rom needs automatically play with the correct version of MAME. How can I do this?
