Need Help with launching games with the MESS emulator (MAME0.167)

[TONBOX777]

Hello, I purchased the premium last night, the Bigbox is so cool, I like it :) btw I have a problem with launching SNES games by using MESS emulator (MAME0.167) I use MESS because I love MAME's HLSL which make retro games look great for me. (The Retroarch's CRT shader also good but it's second best for me) What I did, I just import SNES roms and choose MAME0.167(MESS combined) but the game has not been launched(I'm sure about to put the Snes bios already) So I need guideline to get this work, help would be appreciated, thanks!

Hi @TONBOX777, did you use the default MAME settings? To be honest I'm not sure I've ever run SNES through MAME/MESS before, so it could be that we're breaking new ground.

[TONBOX777]

Yes, I use default settings for MAME and I tested running it directly from MAME folder and it can play SNES game just fine. mame64.exe > select SNES bios(snes.zip) > choose SNES Cartridge(rom) > choose reset and then game start normally. Btw if Launchbox crew take a look for solution about launching MESS would be appreciated :D

Okay, sure, I will add this to my list. :)

Thanks, Jason. but I just found the easy way to solve my problem. by using MESS core via Retroarch, That's it :)

Ah, yes. Makes sense. :)
