Mame retroarch setup Rom bios extras

[haxel666]

Hi I'm using launchbox and retroarch for all my emulation including mame

With my mame setup its the only standalone emulator I have installed

I just added arcade choose retroarch and choose my Roms folder

Which is located in mame0.191 folder and choose to use Roms in their location

All other emulators I moved Roms to lunchbox folder.

What I am unsure of is I have the 0.191 split set

In Roms folder and I got the bios pack and put them in the Roms folder to.

Is this all the right thing to do.

The games I tested seem fine using lunchbox and retroarch.

Also wondering if i dont need mame.dev standalone as using retroarch.

I got all extras and multimedia from PD but they probably can be deleted to as using lunchbox

Sorry if sounds stupid questions.

 

Is it as simple as get split set copy over bios zips into Roms folder add Roms folder to launchbox

Choose retroarch as arcade and nothing else needs setting up.  Nothing to do in retroarch if just 

Want to play games as they are.

And delete extras , multimedia and mame.dev as possibly not needed

 Thanks

If you have the full split roms set then you don't even need the bios pack as every rom in it will already be included in the full set.

Yes it' approx 60gb from PD

They put the bios pack their to so I don' need to add that to Roms folder

Thanks

yeah the bios pack is more for people who want to use MAME to run the MESS side of things so don't need to have all the game roms
