thank you for your reply! 1) I have learned to use it. It is a very good option for same game but different version (regions or alternative versions/dump). 2) that a good idea! Maybe I can try to do it for some roms/magazines/software. But I dont think it is so easy. Do you think that the regions are list or are platform? I am wondering how he has built that. Thank you again! A very good suggestion!!

Hi all, my collection is becoming greater every day. I am adding a lot of junks, I know, but I like to see demo, prototype games, also some software/editor, in the future I'd like to add also magazines etc. So, what is happening? I have a lot of missing media for junks and when I use bigbox I see a lot of junks that I dont want in that version. I'd like to have only 1 launchbox/bigbox In Bigbox I'd like only viewing main roms. For example for genesis in big box I want only main games, but I dont want to see demo and other junks. I'd like to keep them all. I have already combined a lot of roms but some should be separeted. So I have to move them in another platoform, or add to a list and make them invisibles (hidden) in the main platform? And if I move them or add them...how many list/platform do you suggest? Have you encountered such visual organization? How have you resolved it? It's not a technical problem, it is a organization problem. Or it can be a technical problem if I dont know that there is some function that should help me. ( I am just learning) Maybe you have some good idea to share with me. (sorry my bad english)

It works for me, just installed now uncheck all options sample command should look like this: WinApe.exe /A "FULL\PATH\TO\ROM\FILE" I have winApe versione 20b2

First of all, thank you a lot for your usefull information. I have to say that you are right, not so many games at the end. But, you know, it is only to play few games at their best. Maybe, to start, is more usefull a lightgun. I have already a Wheel, but it is not so good for all games...super sprint does not work and others requires a difficult calibration. But I like to try! And I love games

thank you for your reply! So the spinner has already a direct usb cable to attach to pc? I can fix it in a box, but which buttons do you use?

Sinden guns seems interesting! Thank you! I didn't know that. Spinner from Ultimarc has to be inserted in a case. I'd like to find one already mounted. I am not able to build one.

I am very interested in which control do you use. Reading internet seems aimtrack is the best, but it is quite expensive. Is it the only one to buy to play lightgun games? Trying to find a spinner is surely worst

Thank you a lot! I have tried and it works! I am totally noob! step by step I learn how to use it. I was worried about media but all works.

Hi all, I have imported some games (gog) in the wrong platform (I have changed idea basically). The question is: If I decide to move some rom/games from a platform to another, and move all media and related audio, manual...how can I do it? Only Manually? Regards, thank you!

thank you, too hard for me. thank you anyway

Is there a way to move, in launchbox, the highscore window after images or video? Or remove it? I like the new feature but I cannot see the video when I click on a game, I have to scroll down. Yes, I can use big box, but I like to use launchbox also. ty

Sorry Jason to bother you for this question, if you have no time to reply me, I understand. The question is: I have imported mame set by import rom individually (dont ask me why, please, I am a fool). What happen if NOW I import again full set? I have to remove all from launchbox first? (I don't want to reload all media). Thank you for your time and patience! P.S. Anyway, thanks to the new highscore function I have found again the pleasure to play games like I was child, thank you very much! When you'll have some new softwares to buy I'll do it!

oh thank you. No I haven't used it...so nothing appear. My fault then

I know, it is a noob question, sorry. I see that you can set more highscore on the same game using different..version? Like world, old, EU, and so on. I have a complet mame merged set. Launchbox have loaded only 1 version for game. How I can play the different versions through Launchbox? I am just curious.

I have installed and here what I have found: Mouse was still working and configurated Joystick buttons was no more configurated, but I have found that start and coin (9 and 8 buttons were still working, mame default are 5 and 1 keys, so I dont understand) Anyway I have loadad Killer Instinct and I have changed my button config, played then quitted. Reloaded and mame has saved my new buttons configurations I have loaded Wardner and I had similar result. Maybe: global configuration has been kept while specific game configuration has been deleted but it can be redone and it works I hope it can help

Some game's score end with a number different from zero. Atomic Point or Avalanche for example

Yeah, in this way I totally agree with you. I am sorry, I didnt want to be unpleasent or rude. My english is simple so I use simple expression.

@Jason Carr I have found others 2 different situation with high score. 1) I enter an highscore and then it is saved in a different way: G-Darius Ver.2 - New Zero Team and Alpine Ski (I do 1000 points but it is saved in leaderboard like 700k) 2) In some games you can continue inserting coins and the score is not resetted. In the Hunt (I have finished it) and Metal Slug X Super Vehicle -001 I hope it can help

If you are speaking of the last 20 years I agree with you. But if we are talking about mame games...coin-op from golden age... No, sorry, maybe you are not from that age. Games were built around highscore. When a new coin-op arrived on the market, kids like me studied it to discover the way to do more points. Dozens of magazines were publishing tricks to achieve more points. There were world leaderboard (AIVA in Italy for example). otherwise tell me why: in Bombjack you have to collect bombs in order? in Flicky you have to save all the birds in one time? in Ghost'n'Goblins you have to know where to jump to come out 10k bonus items? In Wardner you take ways without exit and then come back? in Bubble Bobble you should avoid taking umbrella? in Phoenix you have to hit central perfect part of the birds? in Popeye you have to collect heart in the high part of the screen? These are only examples, to say the games were built as tests of skill and knowledge and the only way to measure skill were through scoring. Today we collect the trophies, but it is a different way from the high score. So, if I play Horizon Zero Dawn ( I love it), I play having fun. If I play Nibbler, I play for a better high score (and I have fun doing it, eheheh). Look at wr...53 hours to achieve an historical score. In that I hope there will be no more reset...some scores are not so easy to obtain. Maybe we have to study better to not make another reset later.

I dont know what is mame cfg for But I can answer that I config controls very often. I have set mouse and related sensivity, wheel, and joystick. With Killer instinct or SF2 I use different set, like I was playing 30 years ago about, for example. I have 8 button ( from 0 to 7) and to play SF2 I use 1.2.3.5.6.7) Or I have set 8 and 9 coin and start. And so on for other games I hope it is usefull answer

@sundogak thank you very much! I had not mouse in dial_device...that was strange, I have inserted it via option in mame and saved but it wasn'nt saved... Anyway now it is perfectly working! THANK YOU! And ty also for the specific on the separate file, it is very interesting, if I want to create a specific ini file I have to name it like the rom? In---> # CORE INPUT OPTIONS I have: # mouse 0 joystick 1 lightgun 0 multikeyboard 0 multimouse 0 I let the value to zero? Best regards and thank you again! I have a question also for the wheel but I'll do a separated thread.

Hi all! I have tried to search the answer but...cannot find it! I'd like to use my mouse in some Mame games, like Arkanoid. I have seen in mame option that I can assign Mouse to Paddle control. In game, under controls, it says that I can use mouse x to control. But at the end my mouse does not work... I am a totally newbye, I ask if mouse can be used and how to set it. Thank you for your time!

For the future, how about mame version compatibility? Atm I have 201 version. And I am not so good to upgrade. With this version seems work. But later...something will change?

Yes, I totally agree with you. I was just curious. I prefer to know. knowledge helps always Oh, I dont have log file atm but for guwange you can insert only oriental chars and highscores does not save. I think it is the same issue of pspikes and baraduke.

What happens if I put more lives in machine configurations, or I lower the difficulty level or grant more time and so on? It is not a cheat, because it is a board configuration.
