Did (or didn't) do the same thing. Gotta love forums. Didn't even see the other tabs!

Will a 0.186 full set work with this?

Just place a shotcut to the location of the exe. in your startup folder. https://www.howtogeek.com/208224/how-to-add-programs-files-and-folders-to-system-startup-in-windows-8.1/

Well you can have beveled edges, ( reduce (a square edge on an object) to a sloping edge ), and you were talking about the edge of a screen. Close enough.

lordmonkus is likely correct (as I did the same thing a week ago). You have downloaded mame.exe however this is the installer not the application. Find mame.exe, double click to install it somewhere, the re-point launchbox to your install of mame (which crazily may also be named mame.exe, or mame64.exe or something else).

DOS76 is correct. I wasn't thinking about the media (silly me). Launchbox on HDD would be better, especially if you use emumovies. With the large and latest RAM, excellent processor and beast of a machine, you won't have an issue with performance at all.

Good advice. I get it. Thanks.

Thanks, I haven't read the guide yet, but I will!

Thanks for the link. Yes you are correct, it was mame trying to extract. Then once it is installed properly, LB wasn't finding the roms, even though I told it to leave the roms in the current location. I moved them to the rom folder of the mame install and all is good. I will work out how to move the roms and link them as will probably use an external HDD. Thanks again for the link. First game opened, galaga. Second Pacman ... was more fun than I remembered. Pengo is on the list and then of course Street Fighter. Then start building my cab. My neighbours donated this to the project ..... there is a cab 50% done there!

Option 1 is the best option. And put the Launchbox folder on the SSD for better performance. The static (non spinning disc) memory of an SSD means it operates much faster than a 7200 RPM HDD. Option 2: You definately do not need another SSD if you have one already. 250GB SSD should be fine. Windows 10 takes up around 60-70 GB, so in my opinion 120GB SSD is a bit small as you are always a little concerned about space. Option 3: If you are are on a tight budget then this is viable, but an SSD with a new computer is definitely better. SO much faster, windows loads in around 10 seconds, apps load instantaneously. An SSD for OS and Apps (Programs), and a HDD for storage of data is the best option.

Havent extracted ROMs. What I did wrong was hadn't installed mame properly. The download was an .exe so I just pointed to it. However it was an exe install file. Then installed to a folder now point to the correct mame64.exe So not extracting prompt nonsense anymore, But says opening then flashes then nothing. Assume it is a mame emulator and ROM compatibility problem. Might try the mame32 emulator but using win 10 and have 64 system. I just want one game to work! Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

Total noob. Have launchbox premium. Have mame emulator 0.138b. Have a single ROM and when I click it or press play it comes up with an extract popup. I extract to a directory and then nothing happens. Is it supposed to be extracting the ROM like that? If so, is the an auto extract option? Any ideas why it won't play. I am testing with a galaga ROM. Watched an Austin YouTube clip to learn how to install. Thought all was going to be good. Seem tbe doing something wrong. Maybe compatibility of ROM with emulator?
