Hi, I currently have a standalone installation of MAME running and I have no issues. I have set it up to my liking with CRT filter etc. and I am looking at using this installation with LB. I guess I could just point LB at MAME and its ROMS but I would like to have a smaller amount of games for this setup with LB and also have MAME within LB for when I eventually set up an arcade. My question is, If I choose to run the installer, install MAME within LB and then copy over the top my MAME setup, will this work? Then I would have the settings I want, and edit the ROM selection to my taste. Does a copy/paste job work? Can I run two separate installations of MAME at once? I feel this is a simple answer but I would like to know before I start. MAME was tricky to setup on my first occasion and I do not want to run into more issues. Thanks, Peter

Thanks so much @AstroBob. Your advice fixed everything! Much appreciated! Peter

Thanks @AstroBob for being so helpful. Ok so I will backup everything in /launchbox, run the installer again and then copy/paste over the fresh installed Data, images, music, videos, manuals folders with my backup versions of those folders. Thanks. I think this should work.

Hey @AstroBob I don't have that 7z.exe file: Happens every time except yesterday when I was able to install CoinOps for some reason.

Hey @AstroBob thank you for your response. Don't apologise, it does not bother me if it's a Launchbox issue because I know you guys will fix it. I'm glad it's not a "me" issue. So you're right, I can progress past that error now, but when I go to install a theme I get this error: Am I meant to be downloading these themes from the Launchbox website, popping them in the 7-Zip folder and then installing it as I tried to above in BigBox? Or do I have an issue? Peter

Hi everybody, When I click "manage themes" in BigBox, I get this error: This happens frequently so I don't think it is an issue with my internet. I think this may be to do with when I installed Launchbox, I did have a launchbox/launchbox folder setup. After finding out this caused issues, I copied everything from launchbox/launchbox and moved it to /launchbox and then deleted launchbox/launchbox. Should I run the "Launchbox - 13.17 - setup.exe" again, making sure my filepath is not launchbox/launchbox? Will this fix the issue? You can't change the filepath of where launchbox.exe is, or can you? So I assume reinstalling will fix without overwriting games, themes etc? More info: I have nothing in my updates folder either. I am not sure if this is normal since I just installed 2 days ago, all of my games work fine. Thank you for any advice, Peter
