    Check the assisosiated platform tab like i mentioned before, and link your platform to an emulator .

    got to appear to be doing some work now, watch the tutorial video again and if you have other questions i will be back on later

     

    Okay so I understand that you're working, so just reply when you have time. Whenever I try to open the game now, it tries to extract something.

    That fil that you downloaded, your screen shots are a bit out of focus but something like "mame165.0b.exe" that you are currently linked to its the installer. Go amd find it in windows explorer and run it.

    it is the setup

    OMG! YES! OKAY OKAY... so I got the emulator set up but the game still won't run. What's the last step?

    No probs, watching the tutorial video would probaly get you threw this. But i will continue. No need to be sorry

    Step one - have you run the installer? And changed the appliaction path to where ever mame is intalled to. Its "mame.exe"

    step two - it shouldnt be blank, in the first row first coloum type arcade, on the same row tick the box

     

    I download M.A.M.E off of EmuParadise. I didn't get a setup. And he application path is set as MAME

    Two things, that file you are pointing to is the installer, not the installed program

    then in the assosiated platform tab at the top there should be a line there with the platform name, lb defaults to "arcade" and tick the box that says delfault system( or whatever the label is on the right

    I am so sorry... thanks for the help btw

    No, you should run the installer for mame, then create an emulator in that list and link it to the mame.exe file in the install folder.

    then once you have that listed , right click the game again and go to the emulation tab and point it towards the mame emulator you just setup.

    should be good to go after that

    I have to enter an applicable platform?

    We are not savy until we learn ?

    Can you go to tools on the top menu and go to manage emulators and tell me if mame is listed there?

     

    Yes it is listed, but it says that it's application path is LaunchBox.exe. Is it supposed to be that?

    Ok, we cant share roms/games links on the forum. 

    Arcade games come in a set called "mame". I am sure if you googled the game name and the word rom it would come up with plenty of options on where to find what you are after.

    once you have it, its a matter of importing it into launchbox and having the mame emulator setup to run it. As rincewind said,if your having trouble with any of those steps check out a coup,e of the videos on n the launchbox youtube channel and they will get you started

    What does it mean to have the "mame emulator set up" I have downloaded mame... Is that all there is to it?

    Hi! I am trying to get a new game off of LaunchBox and I haven't done it in a while, but I am hoping you could help me. After I put in all the information for the game I have to add a file into the same tab that I put in all of my information. I then looked back at one of my other games and I found out that it has it's own zip file attached to it. How do I get the .zip file for my game (Pole Position - Arcade version)? And if you could help me figure out how to add a new console to my LaunchBox that would be great.

     

    Thank you!
