Alright that did the trick to get games to play directly through MAME. I tried opening them through Bigbox but still did not play that way. I guess I need to reconfigure how BB finds the games.

I am still confused as to what you are suggesting I do next. I replied with the version of MAME I installed (the 64 bit from the MAME site). I am not sure how to tell it the location of my arcade roms. I put copies of them into the MAME folder called Games. Still wont play when I open MAME. They do play in Retroarch. Although, in Retroarch when opening it asks me to choose a Core and I choose MAME (2016) from the list and that then opens the game and it plays. This is all without Launchbox involved. Can you suggest a course of action or steer me to a tutorial that will get me there?

OK, so should I do that full set import move again and let it go the whole way?

This is the MAME le I downloaded mame0226b_64bit. I started the MAME full set import but I saw that there were like thousands of games downloading and it seemed like it was going to take hours so I canceled the download. I can open MAME and see some games there but they won't play. This is the screen I get when I try to play a game in MAME. I am sure it is because I stopped the download. I do not really want all those games and I was concerned about them taking up a huge amount of space on my hard drive. I also didn't see the classic games I want in that set. I have not tried adding any of the games (roms) I have directly into MAME. I am not sure how to do that anyway.

OK, I am trying to get a few arcade games running using MAME and Retroarch and some virtual pinball. I am not sure what more you would need to know about the system you asked about. I will add screenshots. The first few are of what I see when I open Launchbox. I have some artwork for each ROM but when I select play nothing happens. I also added pics of Bigbox. When I try to play a game it says loading but then goes back to the game select screen. I also included a pic of what I see when I open the game folder for the game.

I am new to game emulation. I bought a vertical arcade cabinet and have Launchbox with a premium license. I installed Launchbox and it appears to be working as well as Bigbox, but I am not able to play any of the games I have downloaded. I am able to play a few games in Retroarch, so I know that emulator is working and I added Retroach and MAME to Launchbox using the emulator add tool. I am not sure what I am missing in terms of getting the ROMs I have downloaded to show up in Launchbox/Bogbox. Any advice is appreciated.
