wize Posted June 22, 2016 Author Posted June 22, 2016 I have installed the stable 6.2 version and is now (re)populating the Launchbox. So far I just added the Arcade part and watched the excellent video on youtube. https://youtu.be/SUQzvbweVgw?list=PL6pTDaHeAz-WMcNURVPU-1xLN_TVpT3FB Im trying to get the games loaded but the mamewindow just pops up and disappears. What am I doing wrong? Windows 10 / Launchbox 6.2 premium / 0.174 roms and 0.174 version of mame64.exe
Lordmonkus Posted June 22, 2016 Posted June 22, 2016 Try removing the command line stuff. My "Default Command-Line Parameters" box is empty. Also make sure your rom path is set properly in your mame.ini.
DOS76 Posted June 22, 2016 Posted June 22, 2016 Its the Extract rom checkbox that is screwing you uncheck it
SentaiBrad Posted June 22, 2016 Posted June 22, 2016 What Derek said, after that it should run perfectly fine.
wize Posted June 22, 2016 Author Posted June 22, 2016 Changed it. Still same result. Where is this mame.ini?
SentaiBrad Posted June 22, 2016 Posted June 22, 2016 If your games are in the MAME Rom folder, you set the correct path to your MAME emulator, and you are launching correct files from a MAME Rom Set then it should work just fine. https://i.imgur.com/onGNcDf.png
Lordmonkus Posted June 22, 2016 Posted June 22, 2016 Yeah if your roms are located in the "roms" folder in your Mame folder it should be fine. But if you have your roms located in another place you need to set that folder. If you are using the UI version of Mame you can set it in one of the menus at the top, if you are using the command line version of Mame your mame.ini file should be in the Mame folder where the exe is located, that is where mine is located. Look for the line rompath "roms" My rompath is set to rompath "E:\Downloaded Games\Emulation\Roms\Mame Full"
DOS76 Posted June 22, 2016 Posted June 22, 2016 I always get a UI version it makes it so much easier to configure it how you want. Then you put it in LB and you never see it again unless you need to make some changes
Lordmonkus Posted June 22, 2016 Posted June 22, 2016 I used to get the UI version but since I tried out GrooveyMame and got used to setting it up in the ini file it isn't all that bad to set up.
wize Posted June 23, 2016 Author Posted June 23, 2016 Seems like I added stuff in the mame64.exe but missed the SAVE OPTIONS after the changes was made. Since I didnt save I didnt have any mame.ini in my mamefolder.. BUT NOW its there.. And I also checked the WORLD to import the games into Launchbox... Thanks for all the (fast!) help! https://youtu.be/NjpjeRR2DUE
Lordmonkus Posted June 23, 2016 Posted June 23, 2016 When using the command line version of Mame the first thing you do is run it in a command line window with the -cc switch. So you type mame64.exe -cc This creates the mame.ini file and gets you ready for editing.
