oilersman Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 So, i can play many of my rom sets within mame32, but in get missing files and errors within lb, any ideas why? I have lb set up with the mame32 version that works excellent when independant of LB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retro808 Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Try copying your mame.ini file if it is located in the ini folder and paste it into the root mame folder where the mame.exe is located. Are you using a MameUI version? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oilersman Posted January 7, 2018 Author Share Posted January 7, 2018 Yes using mameui. Still same procedure? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oilersman Posted January 7, 2018 Author Share Posted January 7, 2018 Ok i will google the crap out of it and see how to create that file. I know i couldnt do it months ago, but finally have time. Trying to get my homebuilt arcade into a nice system, then id like to try bigbox next. thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 I believe the default location for it is in the \ini folder but I haven't used a UI version Mame in a long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jut look in the ini folder you should see mame.ini. Copy it and then past it into the root folder of mame32 where the mameui.exe is located.

oilersman Posted January 7, 2018 Author Share Posted January 7, 2018 My ini folder has nothing in it except for a dir note. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not use 32 only 64 and I quit using MameUI due to issues so I am unsure where that version would put it normally.

oilersman Posted January 7, 2018 Author Share Posted January 7, 2018 I done see any mame.ini file at all. I never used mameui until now as it actually plays my over 2000 plus roms and my mame64 played only a few hundred from them. I will just use LB for what works for me now, and the roms i really wanted to work i will just open Mameui and play from there. Just really wanted a nicefront end. But i'm gonna try the Premium version, i think the frontend will look great. Thx for your help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 You should try out the command line version of Mame, it's not that hard to get setup at all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retro808 Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 (edited) As @Lordmonkus I recommend command line as well. Is it possible you tried a newer version of Mame and you have an old romset? What version is your Mame32 as well as your romset? All the mame32 versions I can find are old compared to current Mame builds and romsets.

oilersman Posted January 8, 2018 Author Share Posted January 8, 2018 Holy crap, thanks guys, so much better, did a full ctrl A and then E and got all the roms working with the new cmd version of mame. All seems great, of course few roms seem to be missing some info but whatever. On to big box mode. thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
