Thanks for the response. -view cocktail doesn't quite give me what i want, since that mirrors the screen. But I was able to specify "-cfg_directory" to point to a different directory for cocktail game configs. I have to go into each game and switch the setting to Cocktail, which is tedious, but i only have to do it the first time I play each game in cocktail mode. I'd still like to figure out a way to get a playlist or category that is just these "cocktail mode" games, but this solves the biggest issue. Thanks!

I'd like the ability to launch a cocktail-compatible MAME rom in either cocktail or standup cabinet mode. For example, I'd like to have in Launchbox a "Pacman - Standup" and "Pacman - Cocktail", which uses the same ROM, hi-scores, etc, but just changes the dip switch setting on startup. I was thinking I could have a separate MAME cfg file location for cocktail cabinets, and then create a "Cocktail Cabinet" playlist in Launchbox, and have it start the ROM and specify the cocktail cfg folder. Then if you wanted to play the same game in standup configuration, you would start the game in the standard playlist. Is this a good way to go about doing that, or is there a better way? Thanks

When defining my MAME 262 emulator within LB I allowed LB to manage the emulator instead of using an externally installed one. Now that MAME 263 has been released, what is the correct way to upgrade the version that LB manages?

Thanks!

I have a premium LaunchBox and EmuMovies account. Before I had an EmuMovies account, I imported an entire MAME 262 ROM collection into Launchbox, so initially there are no snaps or videos for any of the games. Then i signed up for the paid EmuMovies account. Is there a way to get Launchbox to download videos for all ROMs? The only way I can find to do it is one at a time for each ROM. The only other way I see to do it is to use the EmuMovies Sync app, download media, then copy it into Launchbox. But that seems "wrong" since LB has built-in sync capabilites for EmuMovies. Thanks.
