Hmm, so where would I be able to find up to date roms for Mame? I'd love to have a complete library of Cps1 2 and 3. I usually get all I need from (website names removed) but those sites don't really update regulairy I guess.

I downloaded this rompack. And i'm on the latest version of mame I could find on the website.

about 15 out of the 40 games i tried seem to work... Is mame really this iffy in terms of games it accepts?

after opening several cps1 and obviously them crashing a window popped up from launchbox saying the following: EDIT:after this launchbox just crashes btw.

Did that,but a lot of games are still just crashing in launchbox. All roms come from the same exact download. Why is this such a pain.

How do I go about doing that, the whole mame UI is very unwelcomming and confusing to me for whatever reason.

Nope, I just let all the roms in the Rom folder where I keep all mame files. As for Lb, I always select it to keep the games in their default directory to avoid confusion.

Hello Launchers, I've been having trouble getting Emulators to work properly(mame retroarch and others of the like) As soon as I launch a game in launchbox I get a "iniatializing" followed by a black screen pop up that immediately crashes, I'm mainly trying to get Capcom play system games to work at the moment. All my other emulators seem to work fine, i've tried these emulators with launchbox on multiple pc's and set-ups but nothing seems to boot. Currently i'm on all the current patches for all software,drivers etc so I have no clue on what I'm doing wrong, i've also checked out the YouTube Tutorials on the LaunchBox channel. If anyone is really feeling fancy and could possibly link me to their completely configured mame files (with working roms I guess) That would be very nice. Again, all of my other emulators are working fine and without any issue's. It's just these arcade emulators I'm really having trouble with so any help is apreciated.

Mind sending me a link to an article or video about it?

Oh wow, didn't think that that'd be so easy to do. Thanks a bunch!

I couldn't find a thread for this so I figured I create one. Is it possible to launch Bigbox automatically on startup, if so how will this be done? CHeers, Nick
