no you would need a text file for every game to fool LB into thinking they were the actual roms.

if you had a list of text files for each game and imported them as roms you could get the media without actually having the games.

Well now I'm not sure it was the ampersand as he has edited what he typed in since I made my response and his paths now show the ampersand in both the working and non working scenarios so looks like the hashtag was the issue now.

ah it didn't like the ampersand

That is so weird I'm stumped.

Are you using a older version of the theme maybe?

I'll have to go pretty much word for word what Lordmonkus said I had no luck messing with Hyperspin and limited success with GameEx when I found LB I imported my games and they worked. I bought the premium the same night for $10 (pre-BigBox era) and haven't looked back since.

4TH July fireworks are bigger than New Years as to your 2nd part it depends upon the state really as fireworks are illegal in some states and not in others even though they are illegal here in New Jersey my brother blows up around $800 worth every year at his annual 4th of July BBQ which was on Saturday this year.

set up a 2nd instance of FSUAE for the CD32 games that way you don't have to worry about the WHD stuff from that emulator.

Glad you sorted it out

Yep its the day we declared our independence from the English long ago. I wouldn't be surprised if the stream was cancelled today due to it.

The answer is yes if you use RA there are stand alone emulators that work with LB also and then you would only have 2 layers the things is though once you have it all set up in LB and configured in RA you never have to see the RAUI again if you don't want or at least only on rare occasions mostly everything like creating and loading save states can be setup using hotkeys in RA for either your keyboard or for your controller.

just know that if you use CLRMAMEPro but you don't update monthly you will need all of the update packs to rebuild correctly so for example if you have 0.186 now and you decide to wait to update until MAME 0.196 you will need to all of the sub sequential update packs that or just get a new full set.

This month I did something new I went to PD and started the torrent for 186-187 update pack and got the list of files in my torrent client before starting the torrent then I went back to PD and did the same for the full split set when the full set came up and finally calmed down (BitTorrent has issues handling the MAME set but I don't have the option to pick and choose files in QBitTorrent) then I selected none and used the update files to pick the ones I needed for the new set which was 122 files this month so it did take me about 45 minutes to go through and get all the files I wanted then I simply overwrote the files in the MAME 0.186 set.

In Regular MAME64 in the built in UI there is a audit option. 1st launch MAME with no game loaded then go to configure options and then go to miscellaneous there you will find an info auto audit option if you turn this on you can stop on games in the built in UI for MAME and it shows in the right side info pane if your game passes audit or not all my games do so I'm not sure what it would look like if it didn't but it at least is a start and MAME will give you a yes or no answer on whether or not a game is ready to go or not.

I'm pretty fucking mind boggled by this turn of events. The LaunchBox community with be diminished with out Brad there for sure. Your expertise and insight will be missed. Appreciate all the tidbits of knowledge you shared with me early on which allowed me in turn to help other users myself. You are a big part of why I stuck around here. I'll catch you on the flipside homie.

Yeah like I said right now I think you don't have the option for that resolution.

this is it is 5:4 not 4;3

unfortunately I don't think any of the artist are creating work with that resolution in mind. I could be wrong but I don't think there is. there is a 4:3 specific theme made by @Maddoc1007 don't recall the name off of the top maybe that would be better than the 16:9 stuff

Okay I'm not really into this but I voted because while it doesn't matter to me I'm not against it either. And now in the future you owe me a vote towards a feature request

That doc is so informative I use it all the time

LB is Windows only

When you imported your games did you move them into the LB folder and if so did you edit the MAME.ini file and set the new directory if not MAME is looking in the default ROMs folder in its root directory

Yeah if on the same drive it wouldn't make sense

I really suggest you check out @Zombeaver's tutorial on how to set up FS UAE I've never watched it but from what I understand its pretty thorough and it covers all of this.
