I cant exactly help with this issue but no there is no option in Launchbox/Bigbox that will interfere with this unless you have specifically setup your mame emu with some sort of extra command lines. Although you say you are using MAMEUI, you can try copying the mame.ini out of the ini folder and into the root MAMEUI folder and see if that helps.

There is a option in Options/Views to remember separate views per platform.

Ill check it out.

Try going to your Launchbox/Updates folder and manually installing the newest update directly over the top of your current install.

If you right click the game and go to edit, then the additional apps tab you can click on another version and then click the make default button, that will make it so that is the version loaded when you choose that game. Also you can edit the name there if you want also and change it to Space Invaders.

Thats a plugin error with the theme you are using, did you unblock the .dll's in the theme name/plugins folder?

Agreed, or as CHD's if that is available in the emu.

ship it across seas. as im a MAME hater.

I did.

Just WOW, thats all im saying here.

Its not a secret, we just can tell you exactly, there is a divide between fair use and blatant thievery. This software is completely above board, so any roms you load into it is up to you.

lol, well i suppose thats sort of a win.

It shouldnt really matter as Bigbox is only loading the images it needs for the theme you are using, at least i assume that is the case. Speaking of which have you tried any other themes? Try this one and see if your issues persist.

With that few games i would lean towards a issue on your system with software conflicts or some such. Thats a very small amount of games really. EDIT: Especially if you are getting it with the keyboard also.

You could do this with a playlist, just create a playlist with all games and add it as a root, it will show in the platform list. These features are currently available in the latest betas. Yeah that specifically i dont think is available, if its a favorite it shows at the top of the list, but isnt duplicated where it would normally be, its just moved to the top.

Its a custom theme based on Critical cids unified theme, its still in development and is not released yet. EDIT: Actually its going to be a collection of themes for each platform.

Hi and welcome to the community. You can add any emulator you want to Launchbox just go to Tools/Manage Emulators and click add then type the name in the box and browse to the .exe. The emulator doesnt need to be listed in the dropdown there thats just a list of commonly used emulators and you can type anything you like into that box.

As i said to you further up in this thread this particular issue is related to Windows. You can just drag and drop the files onto Launchbox and they will import fine, but the way explorer works is changing and Microsoft have some bugs with opening file systems it seems. Drag and drop works just fine though.

Yeah, MAME roms should never be extracted.

Do your manage emulator screens look like these? Also did you previously try to use a different emulator and then switch to the standard MAME?

Its fine. Its often a step overlooked by newcomers. Launchbox needs to know which core to tell Retroarch to load with the game, as you can see a lot of these are pre populated in that screen, but if you want to use a different core you need to click in the core cell and use the dropdown to change to the core you want. Also if the platform you want to use isnt listed at all, then scroll to the bottom of that tab and double click in the empty cell to add whatever platform you like.

Have you told Launchbox to use those cores in tools/manage emulators/retroarch/associated platforms?
