Help with adding individual MAME Roms to LaunchBox

[schmosef]

My current LaunchBox setup is based on the All Killer No Filler list (based on MAME 0.170) and there are a few games added in newer versions of MAME that I would like to add.

When I manually select the ROM ("crswd2bl.7z" for example) and go through all the steps in the Wizard, the Ready to Import list is empty.

Is this because the LaunchBox Games Database has not been updated for the latest MAME game list yet?

If so, is there a way to force the game to import?

It's probably something to with one of the check-boxes at the last step about importing clones or games classed as not fully working. Try unchecking all the boxes and import all regions.

Thanks,

I thought I did that but maybe not.

I'll try again.

Nope, didn't work.

I chose "Force importing duplicate games", "Import all clones" and unchecked all the "skip" options.

Should I report this as a bug on bitbucket?

If you want to. I just tried to force importing it and I couldn't get it to work either.

@Jason CarrThis is a bootleg rom of Crossed Swords 2 which was originally a NeoGeo CD game in case you read this.

Hmm, I got this to work last week by force importing it to my Neo Geo platform, then manually editing the emulator to MAME.

Thanks for the suggestion, @Charco.

I'll try this later today.

But, if it works, it only solves the issue for this one ROM. There are a few other, non Neo Geo, ROMs recently added to MAME that I also could not import.

I have a feeling that this issue will get resolved with the new "automatic ROM folder parsing feature" that's been mentioned recently.

I'm going to wait until that feature is live before submitting a bug report.
