  1. @JoeViking245 Hey we're getting somewhere! Adding that command line has fixed most of the games and allows them to launch properly. There are still a handful that won't launch. When I check the audit tool, there seems to be a connection with the 'Release Type' column. All the games not working have a blank here, where the rest say 'released'. I'm not sure what the significance there is? Can those games be salvaged or is it likely a bigger issue like versioning? Thanks for the help! EDIT: Well that's not entirely accurate. Some of the games marked as 'released' are also not working. No obvious correlation I can see on game data. So maybe just the version issues? EDIT2: Those games aren't working in MAME directly either when using the original method above. So would seem it's a ROM issue and not LB. I'll consider the issue closed and just look to upgrade my quality of ROMs going forward. Thanks again.
  2. @JoeViking245 Thanks for your response. My first suspicion was that I might be dealing with mismatched versions, but started to get the idea that they didn't need to match exactly and MAME could handle a number of recent ROM versions. That must be incorrect? I'm unable to tell what version my ROMs are. Is there a way to check that? I wasn't sure if I can post the link to them here? It appears LB had me download and install MAME version 0.249. I've included the requested screenshots below:
  3. Best case I just need someone to confirm this is how it's supposed to work, otherwise I could use help fixing it. I downloaded a custom ROM set of popular games (not an official one). I got LB installed. I did the import ROM files process, which had me install the MAME emulator along the way. I chose to move game files to LB folder from where they were downloaded. Everything seemed to import fine and games are all stored in zip files under LB>Games>Arcade. When I try to launch any game, I get the black screen flicker then back to LB. Through trial and error, I put a single ROM file into the MAME>roms folder, fired up the MAME emulator directly, and then the game worked just fine. So my question here is do the games all need to be in the emulator's ROM folder? Every tutorial I watched clearly shows people just importing the ROMs via LB and they all just work. Why are mine only working when I put them into the emulator folder? That's not explained anywhere, which is why I feel like it's not the way it's supposed to work. Appreciate any guidance.
