The website was very confusing for me.
-
Ok, thanks. That makes sense. I didn't really see a version listed when I downloaded the ROM pack. I will check out the video.
-
I downloaded one MAME Romset from a website and not a single game is working. Not sure what to do at this point. It was a part 1 of many rom game packs. I tried downloading another BIOS pack but I can't seem to find one for the most recent version of MAME. I really don't know what I am doing. Does anyone offer any services where I could pay them to login to my computer to set this up for me and get this working? Not sure if this is plausible for anyone to do.
-
Ok, thank you!
-
Thank you all for your patience and help.
-
Ok, I will try that, thanks.

I downloaded just a few games individually since I wanted to get MAME working and test it out initially. Don't have any ROM sets. I attached a picture of what I unzipped for Street Fighter Alpha and Marvel Super Heroes vs Street Fighter. (The two games that aren't working) I downloaded the USA Street Fighter Alpha and the USA Marvel Super Heroes vs Street Fighter links that were in a list of links from the same website.
-
I must have corrected something Puzzle Bobble and King of Fighters are working now. The only game that isn't working is Street Fighter Alpha and I also forgot to mention I downloaded Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter. When I try to click to open those two games, the screen is black and the word initializing appears in the center for about half a second and then everything disappears and I am back at Launch Box.

I unzipped the BIOS files in the folder with my games. I wasn't sure if the files inside the zip folder should also be extracted but I tried starting the games both before and after and some of the same games are still not starting up. I can try and search and see if I am missing something else I need to run the games. The BIOS files were just a pack of BIOS for MAME. King of Fighters 2003, Street Fighter Alpha and Puzzle Bobble do not open. I just have 14 games at the moment but the rest are working fine.
-
When I downloaded the BIOS files from the website it said to put it in a folder that said startup. I'll try and follow the instructions you just sent.
-
I saw a thread here:
It said to change the file D6CF5EF5 to dl.1425.bin and to put it back into the Gsound zip folder. I did this and the game still won't start up. The Gsound zip folder is located on an external hardrive in my games rom files.
I did just put a stack of the MAME bios zip files into a folder I created called Startup inside the MAME emulator folder in LB. I don't know if that is what I was supposed to do or if this has anything to do with certain games not starting up as well.
-
I don't see that file name inside the zip folder. I'll try and see if I can find it somewhere else online. Thanks!
-
Thanks. I downloaded the qsound bios and just put it in where I have all my Mame Rom files and Street Fighter Alpha still isn't working. Is there a pack of BIOS or other needed files anywhere for say popular MAME games?
I also have a dolphin bar and Wii controllers with a Wii gun. Can I use this to play 2 player MAME shooting games?
-
Great, thanks!
-
Oh great it's working. I'm noticing some of my games like Street Fighter Alpha are still not starting up but Mortal Combat 3 is for example. Is the issue that the some of these roms just don't work or do I need to install any bios files somewhere?
-
I followed your instructions and the games are running. Thanks! I am using an Xbox 360 controller and pressed tab and mapped some of the keys but nothing is happening in game. There are a lot of player buttons you can program so I am not sure which ones are needed for a typical game? I was trying to play Burger Time but when I hit start or select nothing happened. None of the other games are working with the controller either.
-
Oh ok, I wasn't sure if there was supposed to be a folder created since I had read on a page about the BIOS to also put it in a startup folder. I thought maybe this was already all suppose to exist somewhere after extraction. I will just delete everything and then download MAME from your link. I'll make a MAME folder to extract the files to and then go back to your tutorial. I usually keep all my emulators in my LB emulator folder. Thank you for the help!
-
I started reading the tutorial but I am confused because most of my other emulators create a folder when unzipped with the name of the emulator and files inside but I don't have a MAME folder. Am I supposed to create a MAME folder specifically for what is unzipped when I download MAME? I keep reading to put things inside a MAME folder but I don't have one. I have a MAME folder for my ROMS but not a folder for the MAME emulator application.
-
Not sure what I need to do. I downloaded a zip file of MAME 0.196. I unzipped it and placed the application in my Emulators folder in LB. I installed some MAME roms and they were successfully added to LB. When I click to play any of the MAME games the screen just goes black for a half second and nothing happens. I went to install the BIOS for MAME and have the folder with the BIOS and inside are many zipped BIOS for MAME. The instructions I read for the BIOS says to look on my C: drive and put the BIOS folder in my startup MAME folder but when I unzipped MAME it was just an application, a SYM file and some config files and it didn't have a folder with sub categories or anything with the word startup. I don't know if this is why none of the games are working or if there is something else I am doing wrong. Can anyone offer any guidance?

Oh ok, thanks for the info. I was worried I messed up by not playing it on Steam first. Simpler games don’t install any extra stuff when you click play so I didn’t think of it at the time.
I have all my other Steam games on LB. I will have to see if this happens with other new games I buy and try to add to LB. This was the first new game I tried to add after I previously imported over all my Steam games. It said it successfully added Mortal Combat X too which is strange since it doesn’t actually exist in LB.
It’s too bad since it’s one of the games I’m using for a video game party so will have to exit LB to play it. It would be nice to have all my Steam games on LB/BB but I guess it isn’t a big deal.
Thanks for the help.

I downloaded Mortal Combat X on Steam. I hadn't actually clicked to play the game yet on Steam before I added it to my LaunchBox but it had finished fully downloading. LaunchBox said the game was successfully added but it does not exist in my library. When I went back and clicked to play Mortal Combat X on Steam there was a further installation of some files for the game. I tried to re-add the game to LaunchBox but it is not finding Mortal Combat X via the wizard. I went to audit on LaunchBox and it's not there on the list either. I couldn't find a way to search for a Steam game via a specific file and I may have messed up by adding Mortal Combat X when it finished downloading but before actually playing it and running the final install files. Is there any way for me to get this game still on my LaunchBox?

I used the *.gba" search and moved them over to the main folder and it found the roms! I guess that was the issue. Doh!
Thanks!!

I was able to import my Game Boy games even though they were still in folders so I thought maybe that would work with the .gba games. I wondered if that was the issue so I tried to import one game and went into the sub folder and it still didn't come up. I will try to take some out and put it into the main folder and see if that helps. It's worth a shot. Thanks. I wasn't sure actually how to get them all out of the folders in one place without dragging them out one by one. So thanks for the tip.
Thanks!!

How do I add this to an existing Big Box theme?
