I can run Arcade games through MAME, but not through Launchbox...

Without Launchbox, I can MAME, load ROMS and play them.  But after importing them into Launchbox, they all show up, but when I select it, the screen goes black, then goes right back to the menu.

I'm quite a noob, so please bear with me!  Thanks

Are you using MameUI or command line version of Mame?

Also it would be helpful if you share pics of the following items:

1. In tools go to manage emulators and choose to edit your mame set-up. Share a pic of the emulator details tab and the associated platforms tab. 

2. Right click on a game and choose edit. Share a pic of the launcher tab and emulation tab

Also another quick question that might help us get to the bottom of things when you imported your games into LB did you leave them where they were or did you move them into the LB games folder? If you did move them to the games folder did you then edit your MAME.ini file to reflect that your path had changed from the previous path?

Aha!!!!   I did NOT adjust that when I moved them!  That might be it!
