I am trying to redo my setup. I am using 8 button 2 player. Messing with LEDBlinky now. So since MAME defaults say for Player 1 button = KEYCODE_LCONTROL, JOYCODE_1_BUTTON1, and MOUSECODE_1_BUTTON1. Since using I-Pac with 8 buttons I will not use MOUSE_1. Don't seem to be able to just remove it in the TAB interface. There are other with issues in player 3. And would like to blank out 3-X since don't need them. Seems MAME now ONLY writes to default.cfg when something is changed so can't really edit defaults from MAME since file normally is blank now.

Is there a program or a good guide or something to help create a controller.cfg file something they did for xarcade? I am having issues with MAME and was thinking maybe if could make this might just help override all the default MAME stuff.

Question for you all. So for MAME how should I setup buttons? The controller has 2 row of 3 buttons and 1 row of 2. So in MAME should I do 1-8? Heard somewhere do 1-6 skip 7-8 for last 2 buttons and setup as 9 and 10. Not sure what is best setup. Then guess so whatever is best for player 2.

So all my ROMs are .zip. When I try to change to .7z looks like I end up with both zip and 7z of same file. Also some of the .zip aren't changing to 7z. Not sure what doing wrong. I have full set of 174 with CHDs and trying to updated to 175 and then 176.

SentaiBrad said I covered 3DO in a tutorial actually. Click the link in my signature or the tutorial button at the top of the page. Still trying to get them to load in RetroArch zipped. Works with 4do

DOS76 said What file types are you using for the 3DO discs? All in .7z

How you get 3DO: Retroarch 4do working? When I run it I just get the CD Screen after system starts up.

DOS76 said How can Brad do a tutorial on RocketLauncher when he has minimal to no experience in using it. I keep seeing this mentioned but can't figure out why since Brad tells everyone he doesn't use the software. Well maybe someone can do something. It doesn't seem that hard but would still be nice to have something to watch and fallback on and show/verify how do it right.

Maybe a video from Brad coming?

Mine does it after I click MAME -listxml I updated all the others to 175 but when I click MAME -listxml after that when export I get 0 roms.

Drybonz said rmilyard said When using current version of Importer with MAMEUIFX .175.1. When I click on Filter I get 0 roms. You may have to re-create your mame -listxml on the options tab. I did and still nothing in filter.

So now that the plugin in out is there any info as to how setup and use these 2 programs together?

imdavid555 said @rmilyard Can't speak for the "Emulation" edition, but I have the "Pro" edition and sit-down cabinet. Very happy with it after almost 2 years. Was just a pain in the ass setting up the cabinet. Either the instructions were incorrect (which were poorly written) or one of the pieces of wood were incorrectly labeled. Had to take the whole thing apart when I was almost finished to switch a piece that was actually needed somewhere else. I choose the pro edition because it uses x-input, works with consoles, and was the only one with Sanwa buttons and joystick. I know its too late because you already ordered, but I remember emailing their customer support at the time asking if there were any specials and discounts. They were very/cool and gave me $100 off discount code. Do you know what size screen you will use for your cabinet? I got a 32" 120hz Vizio to put in the cabinet.

Order pushed back till 27th. I leaving on vacation 29th. So it will be after get home on July 9th before I get to mess with this.

Jason, So I deleted all my Artwork since just started using the beta 6. Just wanted to be safe that all in right spots. Well LB seems to crash at random times when Download Metadata and Images... I just get the standard crashed close app box. Then anything downloads before crash isn't saved.

CriticalCid said If the error is related to a .7z file it might be a good idea to look at Step 31 of my tutorial. Have you done that and get the error anyway? I did it. I got a lot and I mean a lot of these errors. However after I think 7 hrs I think I have a complete set. MAMEUIFX Shows Available games at 10560 of 10560. I guess its right.

After running the Rebuild for a few minutes I started getting these errors: If click YES Rebuild stops and if click NO looks like file might being skipped.

CriticalCid said You can either use the audit function in MAMEUI(FX) (this would be the fastest option) or you can follow the tutorial and the scanner will tell you what ROMs/CHDs/Samples are exactly missing. To be honest I tried the stuff in the post. I am not really sure what I am getting. In MAMEUIFX looks like total ROMs it knows about is 10,560 and when I click Available looks like I have 9375 So if not trying to update the ROMs but verify what missing do I skip something?

So if you THINK you have a full set of ROM is there an easy way to verify that and see what might be missing?

Zombeaver said You shouldn't need to redownload anything. You didn't actually move any images correct? You just duplicated them and saved them elsewhere? If so, you should be good to go. Once you upgrade to the beta it should automatically move your existing images around correctly. The backup is just in case something were to go wrong. Right now all I did was copy the Image folder to an external drive for a backup.

I backed up my Image Folder. Should I just now upgrade to beta and let the files move themselves into new folder or think would be best to spend the days redownloading all the images?

So I am getting this controller with the 2 player sit down cabinet I am getting for the kids. Looks like pretty much will work with MAME out of the box. Wondering if anyone else has this and used it with RetroArch or other EMUs? http://www.recroommasters.com/Xtension_Two_Player_Control_Board_Emulator_Edition_p/rm-xt-sd-board-ee.htm

DOS76 said Yeah you aren't using the latest beta then. The beta has much more options for you to choose from. I haven't updated my arcade folder yet but I believe that it has many more options now. Should I get beta?

DOS76 said All you have to do then is cut all the images from their MAME paths one folder at a time and paste them in the appropriate section of the LaunchBox\Image\Arcade folder or copy/cut all of the folders you want and add them to the before mentioned path then change the name of the folder to match the appropriate one in LB. bkground, cabinets, flyers, marquees, snaps etc So I am not sure what goes where? In LB I have in images folder Back/Banner/Clear Logo/Fanart/Front/Screenshot/Steam Banner folders. Not bkground, cabinets, flyers, marquees, snaps etc that was created.
