Can't run MAME with Launchbox

[Zeaede]

So i finally got time space to add MAME in my collection

I can rune mame64.exe and retroarch.exe with Rocketlauncher

But no game will run when i have added the full set wizard on Launchbox?

Anyone have any ideas what can be wrong?

Did you specify Rocketlauncher as the emulator in the mame importer wizard?

I have tried different with tools > Manage Emulator > Associated platforms > Add arcade as default for MAME RA RL

Same results

If i switch over to RL i can run games with either RA or MAME as default emulator

Yes but if you are using rocketlauncher then that has to be the emulator, not retroarch or mame.

Do you have the correct mame romset, and do they work when just loading them from within mame.

I have the latest mame 205 split roms with mame64.exe which i grabbed from here

https://download.cnet.com/MAME-64-bit/3000-2121_4-75935278.html

That combination works when i run it through Rocketlauncher

I followed your turtorials, i noticed one thing and think i have solved parts of my problems

I have my game folder not under mame. So i tried moved a game from my folder to mame/rom folder

Then i change location on Launchbox, launch game works with mame64.exe

But i would prefer Retroarch as i have with Rocketlauncher

As long as you have rocket Launcher set up correctly and can launch your games directly in it then the only thing in Launchbox you need to do, if you are planning on just using Rocket Launcher, is to make sure the games in the platform in Launchbox are set up with Rocket Launcher as the emulator. Of course, you need to also make sure you have Rocket Launcher as an emulator in Launch Box.

Right click a game and check the emulation tab. If it is not set to Rocket Launcher you need to change it to Rocket Launcher. You can edit all games for the platform by clicking on one and hitting CTRL+A. Then choose edit and in the field drop down box choose Emulator. Select Rocket Launcher.

I solved it with MAME, all i had to do was to run mame64.exe and add directories problem solved all games works

I guess it's something simple i forgot not getting RA running

The "choose an emulator" is like mine, I have some systems running with Rocketlauncher, like SEGA CD zipped, it's only MAME struggling

I wonder if it depends on with Launchbox its label ARCADE but with Rocketlauncher it label MAME

Thanks for the screen

I fixed my other issue as well

In Launchbox, you have 2 directories named Arcade

I changed both to MAME and it matches Rocketlauncher

So now i have the options if i want to run MAME or RA

Thanks for help and fast responds
