maduhbee Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 Is it possible to get mameui64.exe to run on launchbox with the proper effect (i.e. scanlines) that I've configured in mameui64.exe? It removes my scanlines everytime I run it, but when I run it within mame, it works just fine. I'm guessing it must be some kind of command line thing then?

Have you moved the mame.ini out of the ini folder into the root folder? This needs to be done, there is a weird bug with MAMEUI that when games are loaded from command line it doesnt read the .ini from the ini folder, but it reads it fine if its in the root folder.

maduhbee Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 (edited) thanks! That totally worked! I decided to delete everything in the presets folder, and the root ini folder (including mame.ini and ui.ini) and opened up mameui64.exe set my "effect". Exit, then copied both ui.ini and mame.ini to the root "mameui64" folder (along side mameui.ini), and now bigbox works! now I gotta figure out some of the other stuff..... hmm....

putnamto Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 (edited) how do i get games to open through big box and retroarch? when loading the core in retro, then loading content it plays fine, but when i import a few games to LB and try to open them through their i get the loading game box, and then nothing, it just goes back to hte BB menu. EDIT: so i downloaded the newest version of mame64bit, and i followed the guide at the begining of this post to try and play games from the 0.181 set, mame opens fine, but whenever i try to load anything my screens change resolution and then it goes back to windows and i get a bunch of errors (unable to create D3D device, unable to initialize D3D 9, and fatal error unable to initialize window) EDIT EDIT: switching to opengl fixed this, now everything runs extremely fast though.

Drybonz Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 I may have asked this question in the past, and if so I apologize... I'm updating my MAME setup to .202, and with MAMEuifx being toast, what is the best MAME version that people are using now? Thanks for the help.

Lordmonkus Posted October 18, 2018 Author Share Posted October 18, 2018 Yup, the official builds are best for most people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drybonz Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 Anything that still incorporates the MAMEuifx extras like screen rotation, etc... or might otherwise be a successor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The MAME variants dont do anything that the official MAME can't do, screen rotation is available of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm looking at MAMEui now and it does look like it has the option to set multiple games to portrait... can't remember what other options I liked from MAMEuifx, but I think that was the main thing, so I should be good to go.

Lordmonkus Posted October 19, 2018 Author Share Posted October 19, 2018 If you want the MameUIFX UI but for modern Mame then you will want to look into Arcade. http://arcade.mameworld.info/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
putnamto Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 (edited) when launching a game with mameui64 through LB the game is on the wrong screen, and when i exit the game using mameui's button combo launchbox freezes until i force close it using task manager the strange thing is that launching a game from mameui itself the game opens on the correct screen.

Try copying the mame.ini from the ini folder into the root MAMEUI folder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mame90 Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 I have a question about the Mame software lists. I can import an entire software set the same way as the Mame roms? Launchbox recognizes the whole system Automatically or I have to select each system/folder individually? If I can import the software lists as Mame roms, does it also create the playlist for them?

Rogerooo Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 (edited) I've updated my mame version to 203, that just came out a few days ago, and am now in the process of importing everything again. How does Launchbox handle the files of the roms that were renamed from the previous version? When importing will they be recognized or just don't get imported at all? Is there a database from were LB gets the information of the roms/games included in each rom set that needs to be updated? About CHDs. Do i need to create a dummy zip for the ones that don't have an associated rom zip? I keep them in a sub-folder inside my roms folder (MAME\(roms) and MAME\CHD\(chds)), i've also set the path in the mame.ini and they load just fine in MAME but are there any issues regarding LB for keeping them separate? Sorry about the bombardment of questions, i'm still trying to figure things out. EDIT: I've found the Mame.xml file inside the Metadata folder, i guess that's the source LB uses for the MAME info. Not sure how up to date it is as I don't know which roms were renamed/added but i've imported everything anyway.
