[MAME 0.78 Romset Import Error on Windows]

Thanks, Jason. 

That's good to know, and will hopefully prevent people from wasting too much time trying to force it to work. 

 

I ended up using Simple Arcade Multifilter to do what I needed to do. Worked like a charm! 

[MAME 0.78 Romset Import Error on Windows]

My apologies if this has been asked before. I looked up this issue and couldn't find a solution. 

I'm trying to import and trim a MAME 2003 0.78 reference set and I'm having some trouble. 

If I try to set the MAME version to the 0.78 emulator when importing I get an error that says "MAME.xml child node not named machine" and it won't complete. If I use the newest version of MAME it will let me import the games list, but when I try to export them it says I have no Roms. 

So a few questions:

1. Does it matter if I just use the newest MAME so I can import successfully, or should I try to figure out this child node error some more? 

2. How do I get Launchbox to find my MAME Roms once imported? As I said, I've gotten them over before but nothing plays because it says No Rom. I know there is something I have to edit, but I can't seem to find it. 

My end goal is to have a nicely curated MAME set for my Raspberry Pi. 

Thanks for the help. Sorry I'm such a noob.
