cleverest Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 I have a very recent complete MAME collection; despite this and doing the import process (skipping clones), I'm clearly missing some titles; which I know because some of the imported games won't work (also tagged to NOT import non-working titles) One example off the top of my head is: 1941 LB imported 1941a.zip; which doesn't work....I had to download 1941.zip and point it to that...and it works.. Should I reimport over my existing collection and choose to import clones? Would that cause a huge mess or will LB group the clones/originals together (via 'additional apps', etc)? Thanks everyone.

neil9000 Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 I would personally delete your arcade platform and re-import, I would also import clones as yes launchbox will group the clones together. You can uncheck all the image downloads as you should already have all that stuff from your previous import so the import will be much quicker than the original due to not having to download any images. You will still need to check the download metadata box though. Hope that helps. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neil9000 Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 My 1941 looks like this as I imported all clones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cleverest Posted April 24, 2017 Author Share Posted April 24, 2017 I have fiber optic, so I'll probably just download the latest set to upgrade it anyways Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cleverest Posted April 24, 2017 Author Share Posted April 24, 2017 Are you aware of the site that breaks down simply what new games have been added, and which games are now playable that we're not before? I would love to check that, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOS76 Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 MAME 185 is out on Wednesday so if you are going to get the latest set you might as well wait. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cleverest Posted April 25, 2017 Author Share Posted April 25, 2017 True, thanks DOS76, I'll go ahead and get 184 full collection now, and just grab the update pack for 185 (if that's faster) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love to check that, This guy on YouTube does an update every month on what new games are playable upon new updates. I'd say 95% are games I'd never consider playing and usually never a need to even update your rom set imo. Sitll a good watch to see what's new.

DOS76 Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 Getting the update pack isn't just copying the pack in with your ROMs and you will need to use CLRMAMEPro or some similar tool in order to update correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil9000 Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 Yeah that's why I started afresh with 0.184, I was using CLRMAMEpro to update and with all the stuff it was moving to a temp backup folder before fixing it I got to about 50% done and my HDD ran out of space. So I just cancelled it, downloaded everything fresh to a different HDD which had the space, and just deleted and re-imported the whole set.

cleverest Posted April 25, 2017 Author Share Posted April 25, 2017 Yeah I'll just pick up the entire new set, LOL easier, and when you have 1GB DL speed, it's not too much of a wait :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
