scerfy Posted October 10, 2016 Posted October 10, 2016 I have games from 2 different systems that I launch via MAME - Philips CD-i and SNK Neo Geo. Outside of Launchbox I have no issues running them with MAME, but when I try to use Launchbox to open a game, my mouse spins for about half of a second and then nothing happens. Would someone please correct whatever mistake I am making to cause this issue? My MAME configuration is as follows: default command-line parameters: -skip_gameinfo Don't use quotes - checked No space before ROM - unchecked Use file name only without extension - checked Attempt to hide console window on startup/shutdown - checked Extract ROM archives before running - unchecked Associated Platform | Default Command Line Parameters | Default Emulator Arcade | | checked SNK Neo Geo | neogeo | checked Philips CD-i | cdimono1 | checked

scerfy Posted October 10, 2016 Author Posted October 10, 2016 Thank you for the reply. Unfortunately that alone was not sufficient to get either console working.
Lordmonkus Posted October 10, 2016 Posted October 10, 2016 NeoGeo should be easy to get working but other consoles like the CD-i are trickier. I use a stand alone Mess for stuff like that.
scerfy Posted October 10, 2016 Author Posted October 10, 2016 Yeah I'm sure the cdi will be its own ball game since the name of the file is not the name of the game so I'll probably have to set custom emulator params per game, but if I can at least get neo geo working I'll be more confident about the general MAME setup.
Lordmonkus Posted October 10, 2016 Posted October 10, 2016 Here's my Mame settings in LB, I don't have any command line parameters since all my settings like skip info is done in the mame.ini Ignore the -nn in the Mame executable, that's just my no nag exe.
DOS76 Posted October 10, 2016 Posted October 10, 2016 For CDI you will need a command similar to the ones need for any of the software lists so for a few examples a5200 -cart for Atari 5200 or coleco -cart so I don't know what it is specifically but it is what ever MAME uses for the software list name followed by the -cart/tape/flop/disc
