DOS76 Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 Okay 1st off welcome to the forum. We are going to need a little more information from you as to how you imported your ROMs. Did you use the new full set importer or the old method to import? Which version of the emulator do you have? Which version of the ROMs do you have? If you used the old method when you imported the games into LB which option did you choose in the import wizard the move games into the LB games folder, copy games to that folder or to just leave your games where they originally were? MAME by default expects all the games to be in MAME\ROMs so if you chose the 1st option to move the games into LB or your ROMs aren't located at that location MAME can't see the games because they aren't where they are expected. If you used the newer method and pointed the importer to your roms folder and it is in the expected folder inside of the MAME directory then I would have to guess that maybe your ROMs and emulator version are mismatched and that can cause issues Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zegin2 Posted October 18, 2018 Author Share Posted October 18, 2018 yes i check it again, the roms is inside the mame folder witch is inside the launchbox.So propably as you said the roms or the emulator is fault. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
