8.6-beta-1 Released

[Lordmonkus]

In my arcade platform it's 2754 but I filtered out all the junk.

Interesting. As you can see I have no pacman so there must be an option I missed. Did you import roms with clones being imported as apps Recommended or just as clones?

Yes

I installed 8.6 fresh and imported mame .201. Not sure what the problem is and am hoping I can figure it out. I thank you for your help as I now know it should have imported. Not sure if it would have to do with the mame.exe being used?

It shouldn't.

You are right as they show up in mame64 just not Launchbox. I will sleep on it:) Thank you again for your help.

What mame executable are you using?

[Lordmonkus]

I used the official command line Mame 200 for the import.

Split, merged, or non merged set on a certain pleasurable site?

[Lordmonkus]

I use Split but it doesn't matter with the new Mame importer.

So apparently there is a new MAME importer... I deleted my Arcade list, and then reimported with the new importer. I have roughly 500 roms in my folder and it took quite a while to import, it looks like it imported over 2,500 roms now. Is there something that I missed or do I have to have the full MAME set now? I was using a modified version of LordMonkus' No Filler batch to filter out only the roms I want. So my ROMs folder only has 500 games in it, I point the MAME importer to that folder, then it imports 2,500 games.. Not really sure what I'm doing wrong. 

[Lordmonkus]

The new importer is meant to be used with a full set of roms, it imports based off the Mame data file and not the actual roms in your rom folder.

For hand picked sets such as my No Filler set you should be using the old import method.

Hi!!

 I have an issue  about the new MAME import tool

I´m  using a Split  0.200 Fullset –

I deleted my previous import to begin again. I´ve updated images and metadata.

But the problem is that a couple of lists are not generated. They are  Atomiswave, Daphne, Naomi, Hikaru and Sega Model 3

And  the sega model 2 is partially generated  only with 5 games

 

Ive tried to import from several different ways´,  trying different options combinations , but always found the same result.

Is there anybody  encountered the same problem?

Many thanks for any guidance you could give me

Those systems do not work in MAME, that is why there are no MAME playlists for them.

Thanks a lot for your answer.

They all use demul as the emulator,so they are not needed for a MAME importer.

@theolsonhome If you import hacks, sometimes unfortunately those hacks can end up as the main game, which is why you're seeing Hangly Man and such. This is due to the region prioritization, but I think it could be improved to skip over the hacks, so I'll look to do that here soon. If you skip the hacks though, then you won't have that problem.

When the new MAME importer says clones will be imported as “apps”... what does that mean exactly? I don’t remember hearing that phrase in regard to LaunchBox before

It means that the clones will be available to run from the right-click menu, or from the game details menu in Big Box.
