Lordmonkus Posted January 17, 2017 Author Share Posted January 17, 2017 Uncheck the Don't Use Quotes and Use File Name Only boxes and see if that fixes it for you, those shouldn't be checked for Mame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did that and it didn't work. I deleted the MAMEUI one, closed LB, opened it and try again with the other MAME64 one and still got that error msg.

neil9000 Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 If you have changed the emulator path you will need to bulk edit your Roms and point to your new mame path. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just did that and linked to the ROM folders that I have in the MAME dir and it says... And before you ask me, in the MAME>>ROM dir, I have 60+ game zips. Are you sure the 7.4 version is solid? I mean this is basic stuff here. It's just a browse button that links to an exe file which works fine when I click on the exe directly.

That is a import you tried in that image, your games are already imported right? So click on one of your mame roms in lunchbox then control a to highlight them all then right click and choose edit, then from the drop down choose emulator then your mame emulator.

Lordmonkus Posted January 17, 2017 Author Share Posted January 17, 2017 Yes, 7.4 is solid. Like Neil9000 said, highlight all your games and edit, then use the bulk edit tool to change the emulator. If you are importing a rom file that is already there it is going to spit out that error unless you tell LB to force import duplicates.

MerlinArcade Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 My games are not in the LB dir, they are elsewhere and I intend to make it stay that way. Does that mean that I can run them unless I import them in the LB directory? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted January 17, 2017 Author Share Posted January 17, 2017 You do not need them in the Launchbox folder, you can have them wherever you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MerlinArcade Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Ok let's see if I got it right... I highlighted all the game like this... selected Emulator in the field to change then selected MAME in the value... Then clicked Next and landed there.. I clicked No, no need to make more changes and then clicked next. Finally I clicked on Ms. Pac Man and got this error popup. Grrrr...

Lordmonkus Posted January 17, 2017 Author Share Posted January 17, 2017 Do your games load with Mame on its own ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil9000 Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Well there is a issue there then, it looks like launchbox is looking in a different location for your roms. The only thing I could suggest is to re-import them. It shouldn't take long as you don't need to download media as you already have it.

I click on Mame.exe to launch it then see my list of games and then if I click on Ms. Pac Man it starts. I just noticed now that since the Bulk change, when I do a right click on Ms Pacman I see the option to open up MAME and when I click on it, it opens so at least now LB links correctly to MAME. And as you can see Ms Pac Man is well installed in MAME. However, when I right click on the game and click on PLAY it doesn't load the game so we're getting close here: :-D Edited January 17, 2017 by MerlinArcade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still get this "0 games were imported" msg. Any suggestions? Edited January 17, 2017 by MerlinArcade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted January 17, 2017 Author Share Posted January 17, 2017 Remove all the games from your Arcade platform and then re-import. Just removing the games won't get rid of the media and meta data so when you do the reimport you can uncheck all the scraping and that will drastically speed up the import process. Simply re-importing over top of what is there won'r work because Launchbox thinks those games are already there and doesn't import. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil9000 Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 (edited) To re-import you will need to delete them first, same process as before highlight them all right click and delete. When you import now it will work, remember when it asks to download all the media to "select none" as you already have the media from your previous import, this will also make the import much quicker as no downloading is required. What @lordmonkus said, beat me to it. Edited January 17, 2017 by neil9000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
