Drybonz Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 Does the MAME importing only work with a merged or split set? I've just run the importer and when I try to launch a game I get a rom not found message. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It works with any set type, you do still need to tell MAME where your roms are however or they will not launch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drybonz Posted April 29, 2019 Author Share Posted April 29, 2019 Launches fine from MAME... will not launch in Launchbox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you checked that you specified the correct paths for your romset and mame in Launchbox? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drybonz Posted April 29, 2019 Author Share Posted April 29, 2019 Yes... it's the correct path. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drybonz Posted April 29, 2019 Author Share Posted April 29, 2019 (edited) So, I removed my split romset and dropped into the same MAME rom folder a complete merged set, went back to Launchbox and it immediately started launching the games properly with no additional changes... so, it really looks like there is some problem with the split romset support.

To be honest it sounds more like a configuration issue or a bad romset. I am using a split 0.209 romset myself and used the fullset MAME importer and my games are launching just fine.

Jason Carr Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 This stuff is confirmed working and hasn't changed in a long time. So if there is an issue, it would be obscure and we'll need details on everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drybonz Posted April 29, 2019 Author Share Posted April 29, 2019 If I use the MAME importer to import a split romset, same one I have used in the past, which came from the same source most of the people on these forums are using to acquire roms, shouldn't it be looking for the roms named for a split set and finding them?

Drybonz Posted April 29, 2019 Author Share Posted April 29, 2019 Actually, I'm just going to use the merged set, so if this info isn't helpful, just ignore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Carr Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 It shouldn't make any difference whether you use a split or merged set. The new MAME importer doesn't even look at the files for this reason. It just knows "here's what the full set looks like, and here's all the games". This is assuming that you are using new the MAME importer, and not the ROM/file importer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
