Mame .184

[johnnyskullhead]

Just downloaded non merged .184 set 130 gb approx

want to import to launchbox

how do I import without re-downloading all the images ? and can I do it under a different name cos the arcade romset i've got now is great and until I have checked .184 I don't want to get rid of the older romset

is it possible to have two sets running at same time ?

 

Thanks Dean

If you remove the old set from Launchbox you can import your new ones and it will use the old artwork and metadata that is still there, removing the games from LB doesn't remove that stuff.

You can have multiple sets, import under a new platform if you want to but then you will have to rescrape and download so that would take some time.

I have 2 sets imported into my setup. One is a full set with all the mahjong and gambling trash excluded and the other set is a streamlined set of my favourite games. I did this before we had playlists and stuff.

you could also import your new set as a new platform select none when it comes to downloading the media and then go to tools manage platforms and direct your new platform towards your other arcade set and they will use all the same art assets

Cheers matey

quick question sorry

downloaded mon merged .184 mameset

should chds be zipped ?

 

Thanks Again

[DOS76]

The CHDs are a separate pack and no they will not be zipped

[johnnyskullhead]

ok

Thanks mate

one last question for now

can run Demul with Naomi and everything runs fine

running Demul pack from [redacted]

when i try to run via Launchbox only Naomi will run !

Any Ideas ?

 

Thanks Dean

 

[DOS76]

None! I only use the MAME ROMs in Demul no experience with that

[johnnyskullhead]

so do I need to download the CHDS pack ? for .184

[johnnyskullhead]

or are the correct roms for all the Naomi systems there in a zipped format ?

 

[DOS76]

if you open Demul and see the Naomi games list only the games with Naomi-GD or Naomi 2-GD require CHD files

[johnnyskullhead]

sorry mate not sure what you mean

I ran the .bat files within Mame.184 so do I direct demul to those resulting folders or direct it to mame .184 itself , even though there are no .chds ?

I cant understand why the demul romset I downloaded works fine in demul itself but fails when linked via launchbox ??

[DOS76]

If you have the MAME set but don't have the CHD files then you won't have the CHD files even if you use the .bat file it can't pull files you don't have in the set out of the set. I'm assuming you are using Brad's .bat files and not mine since his are updated and mine didn't pull the CHD files.

[johnnyskullhead]

yes there Brads

can I pull it from the Demul set I downloaded or do I need to download CHDs version .184 ?

or can I upgrade em ? via ClrMame ?

sorry again

[johnnyskullhead]

why will launchbox not work via Demul to run the Naomi games, even though if I run Demul directly it works with the same games ?

[neil9000]

It does work but you need to add some command lines, I have two versions of demul on my system, one for dreamcast one for Naomi. Both need a different command line. See attatched pic.

cheers mate i will check
