I have found the issue, a bit of shame within me, I have to admit, that a game config was written in .\ini\games for the gradius/nemesis roms deactivating hiscore support . It works now. I have no clue how this happened. Merry Christmas Time everyone.

I have changed all relevant folders back to the Launchbox-based MAME root. Funny, Vulcan Venture works, I had a valid entry in the Online highscore list right after quitting the game. Gradius/Nemesis Arcade (JAP) still won't work. It does not create an entry in the hiscore-folder (no nvram), despite having everything in place. Is this a known issue? PS: Also tested Gradius (World) not working.... Gradius has no Plugin entry.... Vulcan Venture has. gradiusb works, gradius does not. Despite highscore.dat stating stating this: gradius: gradiusb: @:maincpu,program,195f0,8c,00,00 @:maincpu,program,70098,4,00,00 @:maincpu,program,7009a,1,73,73 So issue, which was not really an issue, solved. Seems that "gradius, nemesis, nemesisuk" highscore support is not working at times. Only gradiusb - the US version

Hello, today I want to solve the problem, why my high scores are not being uploaded. I think all settings are correct, also logged in to Launchbox database and RetroAchievements with valid logins as registered user. But my root MAME directory is set to another drive, just because I do not want any updates to cause additional work for me than just to hit the "Import Mame full set button". I have attached my debug log and as expected hi2txt still searches in the Launchbox-based root MAME-folder. Well, it is still the root folder, but I redirected possibly all folders like hiscore, nvram through mame.ini, as you can see here: Is there any way to give hi2txt the proper root-folder for MAME? It does not seem to take it from the mame.ini. Or is this part of the "anti-cheat" rules and it has to access exactly the Launchbox-based root MAME-folder? btw, I am using the Unofficial Mame highscore.dat from here: https://highscore.mameworld.info/ I do not know if this is still necessary, as MAME seems to have its own highscore.dat file at the right spot in <MAME-root>\plugins\hiscore Debug 2025-12-12 03-32-34 PM.log

Thanks for helping out Joe, as always. I deticked the extracting but it didn't solve the issue. What helped was to untick "remove qoutes" and "remove file extension and folder path"....and unticking the unzip rom. Why is that? - the qoutas, okay, there are whitespace in the path. - the extension and path, yes, I have multiple rom locations and no base folder, makes sense - but not to unzip the rom? I take a guess and it is not related to mame but LB unzipping the rom beforehand, which is not working. but why is this feature an option anyway?

I have upgraded the MAME romset to 0.283 if I run MAME from its folder, it loads correctly and plays the selected rom. when I start MAME from the context menu and the select the rom within MAME, the roms load correctly Every attempt to start via Play in LB fails.

Hello, is it possible to use save states with Retroarch / puae core for this amazing CD32 entry? Save is created via F2, but about 90% of the time the game seems to crash when reloading with F4. Input is still registered by puae (visible in the status bar at the lower screen bottom), but the sprite is not moving. The game seems frozen. Any idea? Turrican Anthology Amiga CD32 is here: https://unofficial-cd32-ports.blogspot.com/2017/08/004-turrican-anthology.html

Found it: it is now Shooter / Flying Vertical Shooter / Flying Horizontal

It seems my "Shoot 'Em Up"-Playlist (Arcade Shoot Em Ups.xml) has been destroyed by the last update. I did find ALL Launchbox games in there. So, I grabbed the list from "LaunchBox\Data\Playlists" and deleted all games entries. Now, I want to auto-populate it. But the problem seems to be the rules: <PlaylistFilter> <Value>Arcade</Value> <FieldKey>Platform</FieldKey> <ComparisonTypeKey>EqualTo</ComparisonTypeKey> </PlaylistFilter> <PlaylistFilter> <Value>Shoot 'Em Up</Value> <FieldKey>Genre</FieldKey> <ComparisonTypeKey>Contains</ComparisonTypeKey> </PlaylistFilter> This does not fill the playlist. Is there any overview of all valid MAME genres and how to use them? Thanks for any help.

I can confirm, issue is not resolved yet

Yes, Online Highscore seems to affect Autosave feature. So I will have to turn either one on or off. Thank you very much for the answer. Hopefully both features may cope in the future. 👍

Hello @ll, another short question about the Autosave feature. Here, I also edited the mame.ini in the Launchbox\Emulators\Mame folder, activated "autosave 1", and I did change the "state_directory <some custom path>;sta" (custom path helps when upgrading MAME not to lose savestates) In Launchbox for MAME Launch options, I tried to set the switch -autosave and without the switch( -noautosave is default). Autosave wasn't possible in any case. When launching only MAME via context menu of a MAME game in Launchbox and then running a game from within MAME, the Autosave feature works just fine. Does the -autosave switch need a path parameter in Launchbox? Thank you for any help in advance. 👋

yes, thank you, I had already done that. 👍 Wonderful, this solved the problem. Thank you so much 😄

Hello @ll, this might be the 1001th question about a M.A.M.E topic related to CHDs, but I have not found an answer after all nor could I quite figure out a solution myself, which maddens me a lot. So, we all know, how a Full Mame Set Import generates all those neat categories, one of which is CHD. Now, during all the time using MameUI I got used to editing the mame.ini, adding both paths for roms and CHDs, but kept them in different directories. This worked like a charm. Indeed, it also works for Launchbox, IF....I just start pure MAME with a right click on any imported MAME game and select it in the context menu, then within MAME choose the Category CHD, and run the entry, which I know I have the romset and the CHD. (for instance Gauntlet Dark Legacy) but it doesn't work with a double click on the MAME game in Launchbox itself, but I guess it should. So I thought to myself, maybe I am missing something. Why should it work with just MAME started, but not within Lanuchbox doing a double click on the imported MAME game icon? 🤔

Missing the feature for multiple rompaths here in Launchbox...at least for MAME. The problem with multiple rompaths in mame.ini is, Launchbox won't look for new roms there. I have to do everything manually. If we were at least able to populate the variable %romlocation%.

Where is this variable declared? -rompath %romlocation% I can't find it in MAME manuals. Is it a Windows System variable set by Launchbox? Does Launchbox set other variables? I am a bit in lack of information here.

yes, same issue here, still not resolved in 2024. Launchbox is in lack of transparency here. It is not a MAME problem, but a Launchbox problem. With the same mame.ini file mame works correctly, but not from within Launchbox.

I have found the issue. The default lay file has an error. <mamelayout version="2"> <element name="bezel"> <image file="bezel.png" /> </element> <view name="Bezel Artwork"> <bezel element="bezel"> <bounds left="0" top="0" right="16" bottom="9" /> </bezel> <screen index="0"> <bounds left="4.625" top="0" right="11.375" bottom="9" /> </screen> </view> </mamelayout> The wrong layout file is here: <mamelayout version="2"> <element name="bezel"> <image file="bezel.png" /> </element> <view name="Bezel Artwork"> <element ref="bezel"> <bounds left="0" top="0" right="16" bottom="9" /> </element> <screen index="0"> <bounds left="4.625" top="0" right="11.375" bottom="9" /> </screen> </view> </mamelayout> Hope this helps for anyone encountering this error.

I have installed the newest Launchbox and Mame 0.260 🫠 also, I am using OpenGL shaders, one for horizontal and one for vertical. For horizontal everything seems okay, the game screen fits into the bezel, but not for vertical. In the Mame Menu to option for Bezels is also missing for vertical. I have added two screenshots, one horizontal (ok), and one vertical (error). Could it be possible a layout file is missing for vertical games or wrong? If so, where do I have to look for this file? Thanks for any helpful advice.
