espidie79 Posted March 25, 2019 Posted March 25, 2019 Hi! I've been using Launchbox about 2 year ago (maybe less) and whenever I have had any doubts or queries, i´ve have assistance and support of many members of the community. That´s why I would like to make a small contribution with what I've been looking for, and I have not found updated (maybe I failed to look good). Based on the fantastic work of DOS76, Sentaibrad and Lordmonkus, who are the authors of the files that I have used as a basis to make ".bat" files to copy roms from machines not emulated in MAME: Model2 Model3 Hikaru Naomi Naomi2 Atomiswave Gaelco These files are updated to be used with the 207 version of MAME. Simply put the corresponding ".bat" file in the Mame ROMS folder or wherever the fullset of mame 207 is. And what it will do is to create a folder with a copy of all the roms of each machine. It´s one file per machine. I hope they´ll be useful (The are 2 files in each rar indeed. The other one is a "control" file but it has no uso to the process) Sorry for my english and thank you SystemsMAME207.zip 1 Quote
Lordmonkus Posted March 25, 2019 Posted March 25, 2019 What rom set should these be used with ? Merged, Non Merged or Split ? Quote
neil9000 Posted March 25, 2019 Posted March 25, 2019 You should probably upload these to download section also, so they dont get lost. Quote
espidie79 Posted March 25, 2019 Author Posted March 25, 2019 I used the with a Non Merged set. Forgot to clarify ? Quote
DOS76 Posted March 25, 2019 Posted March 25, 2019 I would think if you did it with a non-merged but included all games it would probably still work with a split set also and with a merged it would probably just copy the parents it came across Quote
Lordmonkus Posted March 25, 2019 Posted March 25, 2019 I haven't looked at the bat files but if you used it on a split or merged set it would not copy the necessary bios files that certain games require (eg: qsound.zip and neogeo.zip). Unless of course those files are included in the bat files. Quote

I´ve included them but not for Neo Geo, since they work in mame (a least the games i´ve tested) Just for the machines i´ve mentioned above ? Quote
Lordmonkus Posted March 25, 2019 Posted March 25, 2019 Well the Non Merged set contains the bios in each games rom file, Split and Merged do not do this. Quote
DOS76 Posted March 26, 2019 Posted March 26, 2019 yeah way around that though is to also add your MAME folder to the paths I'm pretty sure all those emulators support multiple paths Quote
garbanzo Posted March 26, 2019 Posted March 26, 2019 Thanks for these. I noticed they don't copy CHDs though. Quote
