Thanks for the reply. It's on a local drive... just not the one where LB lives. LB is on an SSD, ExoDos will only fit on the spinner.

I downloaded this behemoth over the last couple days and, let me say first, this is a glorious feat of collecting and organization. My problem is that I didn't realize I wasn't going to be able to select a games directory location. My Launchbox files are on a smaller, faster drive and there's no way to fit this there. Any way to salvage this situation, or am I better off just picking out some of the good games, setting them up manually and deleting the bulk of it? Thanks for the help... and much respect for compiling this digital museum.

Thanks for the link... nothing about my specific issue, but I had wondered if it was a problem with needing to update the module, so I re-downloaded RL thinking it would have all the latest modules included, but maybe not? I've posted in that thread.

Ok... my history of success with posting questions at the RL forums has not been good.

I'm getting a new error that seems to be possibly related to RocketLauncher somehow when I'm launching MAME games... error is "-nouse bezel" not recognized. I haven't had this error in the past... just wondering if anyone else is having/has had this problem and knows how to clear it up. Thanks for the help.

I'm having some trouble getting changes in DosBox Options to take affect. I've tried doing it through the default DosBox configuration tool in the LB menu, and also through the options.bat in the DosBox directory. Specifically, right now I'm trying to change the resolusion so that it is stretched full screen, and use the scanlines options. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks.

Oh haha... I was all excited about bios updating in MAME.

Is that a newer feature in MAME? I wasn't even aware that this was possible. That's a great feature.

Deco Cassette was an arcade system. It was an alternative to the actual Data East machines in that they let arcades switch the games in the cabinet, but they are the exact same game as the Data East game (Burgertime, Bump n Jump, etc), so they are a duplicate that most people would want filtered.

Deco cassette games are part of the MAME romset for sure. I still don't know what you mean. I was asking if they were supposed to be filtered (see previous discussion of MAME imports in this thread). Most people would want these to be filtered as they are redundant if you have the Data East games, as they were with old Lightspeed filters.

There's already been discussion about MAME imports not working in this thread. I didn't know if it's related. Feel free to move.

Not sure what you mean. Also, noticed Vs. Nintendo games doesn't have a filter in the MAME importer, which would be another good filter.

I'm not sure if it's supposed to, but the MAME importer is not filtering Deco Cassette games... which leads to basically duplicates in your library. Would be good if it would filter these.

I would take another look at the old "lightspeed" app, which nailed the MAME importing and filtering perfectly, and see how he did it.

That looks like a different issue, though.

Yeah, I just checked again on the latest beta... same problem. It looks like it's prioritizing a clone over the parent?

Thanks for the reply. I'm running the latest beta, but I just updated, so most likely this happened before I updated. Good call. I'll re-import my MAME set and see if it all goes smoothly. Thanks again.

Discussion of possible problem with MAME importing.

No... talking about categories that I did not select being downloaded. I just double-checked and it seems like it might be possible that it is downloading from emumovies, even though I'm just showing a blank, grey area on the emumovies tab... as in, no categories available.

I noticed that if I use the edit > images menu to download new images, when checking only one type of image (ex. box - front) it downloads all available images anyway. Is this a bug or intended? If intended, is there a reason it is set up this way, and is there a way to get it to download just one type of image from this menu?

Thanks for the reply. So, this is affecting other roms as well? That's probably something that should be looked at to be fixed for the MAME importing.

I did a full MAME set import today, and as I was checking through it after it was done I noticed that the original 1978 Space Invaders parent (rom name "invaders") did not import. I did a manual import for that single file and then it imported properly. Have not checked any other individual games yet... but is this a glitch, or did I somehow filter it out during the full MAME set import? If so, what would filter it out as it is the parent rom? Thanks for the help.

Is this still what you are using for arcade?

Just found Lordmonkus's HLSL tutorial here: Thanks for that. These look much better. Is this still the best option?

Can anyone that uses shaders in MAME point me to a nice looking scanline shader for arcade? The ones included with MAME didn't look quite right to me. Thanks for the help.
