[Is it possible to import individual mame roms]

Do you still need to edit the ini-file if you use the default "roms" directory in the mame folder?

You don't need them all with a Non Merged set, each one is a different region, pick the regional version you want.

yeah I tried that but still couldnt get it to work. Says files are missing.

You do not need a full set at all but you have to be very careful with how you go about it.

If you use a Non Merged Mame set to pull out individual games from it will make your life much easier. If you use a Split or Merged set it will be more tricky and time consuming because you will need to pull out any bios required and parent roms if using a clone region rom, ie: US version of Pac Man will require the Japan region Puck Man rom to work.

Once you have your functioning set you want to use then you just import like regular consoles, not use the full set import tool.

I have a non merged set of the games, where each game is one zip with a bunch of files in them. But there seems to be so many versions of each game, do I need them all?

ah yeah I misread that as you didn't want to have a full set if you do already have one then yes you can import select games as long as MAME knows where the complete ROM set is so it can access the secondary ROMs that it might need.

Reviving this old thread.

 

So I still gotta have the full mame set on my computer? Just not neccessarily in Launchbox!?

You can click Tools, Import, Manually Add Game... to import a single game.

Thank you, that seemed to work.

I have the exact same problem as OP.

Added a SNES game then deleted it and if I add it back now it says 0 games added. I have looked everywhere and cant fint any residue of the game.

The title in question is Final Fantasy VI.
