  1. Can you show the before and after code?  Might help others in the future.  So happy for you, my man!  Now you can keep those monster scores and have your buddies try and beat them!

  2. Ok...  So five minutes after I posted this.  I looked further into my settings and saw that Keymapper was disabled in RL. GRRRRRRR

    I know have it running ONLY through RL and have deleted all my Additional Apps from LB.  Anyone that does not have RL, can use the other method of adding the .cfg to "additional apps" and LB will launch them for each game.  I have to admit... this Rocketlauncher app if Friggin awesome and cuts out a bunch of extra work on LB.  Thanks again for the profiles!

  3. Cool.  Just keep everything until you make 100% you dont need them again. Super important.  As for CHDs,  I went and used everything new or matching to the new romset, so I am not 100% sure about using old ones.  What you can do before you go crazy with a new romset is maybe you can just download the latest Mame 1.95, and ONE rom and CHD that matches.

    Make it the one game that is giving you issues now.  You can google the CHD and Rom... it will come up Im sure.

    Then if it works, then maybe you can go for it 100%.  If not, you save the aggravation and maybe go to my awful solution of using "Save state"  on your current MAME version and romset.

  4. Keep all your old roms and emulator in a different folder.  Just in case you dont find any difference.  Or you can even use both emulators to refer to different roms just in case.  I also used to just do "save state" on mame and it always kept the high scores.  Only thing I hated is that the game would load right back to the point I closed it... sometimes in mid play.

  5. Ok.  Got the keys set and have added my Winkawaks script below in caseit helps anyone.  Remainin issues..  No Auto full screen and when I pause and exit, the emulator  does not close. Here is my setup ini for WinKawaks 165.

  6. ok. found this from the great LordMonkus on another thread.  WORKED!

    turning on "Don't use quotes" and "Use file name only" but it will not go into fullscreen mode. And if I put -fullscreen as the command-line parameter it breaks it and doesn't load the game.

    Anyone now how to FORCE fullscreen.  Yes, I can use  retroarch, but really like winkawaks. =)

     

  7. Hi,  I wanted to see if someone could sort me out with my current problem.  I am using WinKawaks instead of RetroArch for may CPS 1 and CPS 2 games.  I can get it to launch outside of LB with WinKawaks. No problem!  But, I have it listed in LB and the emulator is Winkawaks 165, when I clcik on the game in LB, I get winKawaks to load and open, but the game does not load.  Also it is stuck in a windowed mode, even though I use the parameter -fullscreen in the emulator.

    Thanks!

    Its not necessary. Filipe already did that work. All that is needed is more artwork. Im you want to extend the theme, just make your own pack of images and upload them as an optional expansion to the Retrorama theme. That way you dont have to share any work or code that Filipe made without permission.

    But what about the video snaps and stuff.  That doesnt work in the current version.  You said: optional expansion to the Retrorama theme

    Is that hard to do?  Any tutorials on how to create an expansion pack?
