sipes760 Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 I am updating my MAME romset to v0.184 and was wondering if launchbox fully supports the new romset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DOS76 Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 As far as I know LB works with every version of MAME as long as you have a close to corresponding ROM set to use with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fromlostdays Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 Yeah the only thing I can think of is if they add new games to set, which I don't think happens often, if ever, you might have to import those. Other than that, just make sure you're not changing the path to the roms, update the mame exe and launchbox is hands free.Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your best option is to keep your roms updated - it is easier to maintain the set each month than to have to do it after a year or two. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fromlostdays Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 How do you import the new games? Just reimport the whole set... or manually?Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crush Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 Manually, but i don't import all roms, only the ones i like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SentaiBrad Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 LaunchBox needs it's MAME metadata updated for us to see new games, if there are any, but that process is very hard unfortunately. If you grab a new set and paths are changing, deleting the games, and re-importing without downloading images is the easiest way. If you keep the same exact path, plug in the new MAME and romset, it should all just work. If there are any new games that isn't picked up by the MAME Importer, you will have to do that manually currently. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOS76 Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 Yeah so if you have a set after 174 or somewhere around there LB won't find anything new since it hasn't been updated since being implemented. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MetalVinnie Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 (edited) Some notable games in the last few MAME updates: Eeekk!! Gallop Racer 2 Hangzo (prototype) (Hack n Slash type game) Hammer Away (prototype) (Sega shmup) Kyuukoukabakugekitai - Dive Bomber Squad (prototype) Konami shmup Last Hope (A conversion of a Neo-Geo console shmup that wasn't made for the arcade) Lock On (Philko) (2D horizontal shmup, not to be confused with the 1st person shmup with the same title.) Moto Frenzy (Dirt bike racing game by Namco) Omega (Arkanoid style game...) Power Flipper Pinball Shooting v1.33 (Cool looking video pinball game) Sega Sonic Cosmo Fighter (YES! Sonic the Hedgehog in a SHMUP!!) Sky Robo (A shmup with transforming abilities, becomes a multi-directional shooter when changing to robot) Slap Shooter (It's a hockey game, made by Sega) Splendor Blast II (2.5D Racing/Shmup?) Steering Champ (bowling with cars!!?!? This is probably when Konami started getting weird) Some of these games have Launchbox ID's. But almost none have any media. Sifting through 60,000+ rom files is tough. Hope this list helps. -MV Edited April 8, 2017 by MetalVinnie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
