SageOfSong Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 Hi! I tried using LaunchBox's option to download the full mame romset for my arcade, and I noticed a lot of the games that were imported don't seem to work when I launch them. I get a loading screen for MAME, but then it closes out automatically without the game starting up. Is there any way I can fix this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyukki Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 Are you using the right emulator for your romset? With MAME, it's best to ensure your emulators and romsets match. I think right now they're on version 0.204. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devilchi Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 Just because mame has the rom does not mean it is playable or working. If you know the rom is from a working system then you may need a chd or bios file that you dont have. Try running the game straight from the command line and mame will usually give you some info to go on. Even if its a playable system lots of roms may have issues or be unplayable. One of the fun things about mame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also to add to the two reply's already here, you do actually have a MAME romset right? because you said this, 11 hours ago, SageOfSong said: I tried using LaunchBox's option to download the full mame romset for my arcade Launchbox does not download roms, so if you were expecting that it did that will be why they do not work.
