tomkdesign Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 Newbie here, I have all my roms and emulator assigned. When I click on a game it looks like mame tries to load but doesn't play. Video example here https://youtu.be/0lv59FzEcXI When I go direct and load via mame64 the rom loads perfectly. Any ideas on why LaunchBox doesn't load mame64? Attached are the emulator settings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retro808 Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 What Mame are you using? MameUI, Arcade64, command line If your Mame.ini file is located in the ini folder copy it and paste it into the maind folder where the mame64.exe is. It is a know issue with any version of mame other than the actual command line version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomkdesign Posted August 14, 2018 Author Share Posted August 14, 2018 im using http://mamedev.org/ sorry, newbie, where do I get the mame.ini file? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retro808 Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 When you run mame64.exe with out a game and save your settings it will generate the mame.ini. But that may not be your issue since you are using the command line version. In the associated platforms tab of that image you shared. Do you have Arcade listed there? Whatever the name of the platform is that you imported your mame roms into needs to be listed there and it needs to be the exact name you have in Launchbox. From the video it looks like it is "Arcade" but hard to tell since it is cut off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomkdesign Posted August 14, 2018 Author Share Posted August 14, 2018 (edited) yes its "Arcade" its what the tutorial said. I tried retroarch as well and neither worked. Im not seeing a file called mame.ini in the folder that has mame64.exe. Would it write the file somewhere else? Does Mame64.exe have to be in the emulators folder I created within the Launchbox rood dir? Edited August 14, 2018 by tomkdesign Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomkdesign Posted August 14, 2018 Author Share Posted August 14, 2018 i think i figured it out I had to save the settings in mame64, as you mentioned. Once saved then I had to back out and reassign the ROMs. Saved it and it worked. Thanks for your help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
