You probably are using a view that doesn't have video I suggest going to options and enabling a button or key to cycle through the views for your selected theme then check each view and see if you get video in any of them.

Go to the tools menu in LB and go to manage emulators select model 2 and edit it then check the boxes for Don't use Quotes and Use file name only without extension or folder path.

do any SNES games launch in LB I know by default LB sets up the snes9x core (a deprecated version no longer even in the program on top of that) and that you have to edit it in the associated platforms tab.

Well in LB you could mark the games in the platform as hidden but I don't know what effect that will have on your playlist as I've never tested that before.

you should be able to type anything you want in the platform box and I just tested it and it let me create a completely new platform that I hadn't even made before.

I'd just like to add that if this is in any way changed the need for it to still function like it already does also needs to exist as I don't want 100 games listed under t because it has the article the in the title.

you definitely can move a game over you can simply right click a game and go to edit and change the platform there but be aware that it won't move any media assets that go with it. You can also use ctlr+a to select multiple games and do the same thing through the bulk edit window.

platforms with zero games will not list until you add something to them

If you have a full set the bios files are already included those bios sets are for running MESS outside of MAME.

the chd files should be in the same directory as the roms

Are you aware you can directly add images to the forum posts?

In the RetroArch Systems folder

read it closer he says that non merged and split are almost the same not merged and split

If you have a full set then there shouldn't be any machine or bios files missing as they should be included. I don't have a clue as to why you are having issues if all your other games are working in LB. It sounds like your directory in MAME is set correctly because your games wouldn't start at all. MAME will usually throw an error message up and tell you what files are missing also if that is the issue. Just to be sure I understood correctly most of your games are working in both MAME and LB and your issues is with this specific game?

The MAME full set is on version 0.189. A lot of the other Arcade emulators use MAME roms for the games in their emulator too so while not compatible with MAME the roms work in other emulators and thus worth having if you are interested in those systems.

LB uses MAME 0.175 data for naming and working status so updating your set doesn't really do anything as LB won't recognize newer games that have become working.

yes it does

If you are using the command line version you can open MAME without any game loaded and go to configure options and then video and set enforce aspect ratio to true also if you aren't comfortable messing around with the .ini file.

I would run the scan it can help if there is Windows corruption in some cases it will fix the issues on its own.

once it downloads it what do you expect it to do though if you click no just delete the download that would be wasting Jasons bandwidth which he pays for.

do you have automaitcally download updates in the backgournd checked.

yeah it downloads the update in the background now before prompting you so you can still use the program until the update is ready to install.

it doesn't say update it says install doesn't it

Okay I'll try to explain it a little better every month MAME roms come out they come in 3 flavors either Split, Merged or NonMerged then these come in two flavors either updated or full sets then of these there are 5 types (with the caveat that the chd sets only come merged) they are rom chd software list roms software list chd's and bios set (bios set is redundant if you have the full sets though they are more for separate MESS usage). Hope that convoluted explanation helps

Nice I'm going to have to switch over to that
