MAME Roms won't start properly from BB.

Recommended Posts

I have updated LB to V9.10 and also refreshed the MAME roms to V0.197.
Mame does run the roms without issue.

When i start them from within LB, then all works fine.

The moment i start them from within BB, the game does not start, but instead, when i arrow up or down, i see a mame like menu where i can select "start game with".

Could this be a MAME version problem?

If they load from Launchbox they will from Bigbox as they share the same data. Can you share a image of the screen you are describing?

This is what i get, it comes up and goes away after 3 seconds, arrow up or down, brings it back up.

I have never seen that before, it looks like the game details screen, but transparent, in the wrong position, and with weird font and spacing applied, very strange. What theme are you using?

I have changed the theme, same problem occurs.

It seems that, when i press "enter" on a selected game, this MENU bar appears:

OK, that is correct. That is the "Game Details" screen which will show after selecting a game, and it can be turned off in the options if you dont want to see it. However your first image is very strange and it shouldnt look like that.

This is not the game detail, it is a MENU structure:

Top line says "start with"

2nd line says "additional apps"

3th "Star rating"

the menu schos op the left side of the screen in this theme.

Changing themes only changes the place where this menu appears.
The game datails are shown on the bottom of the screen:

OMG,

 

This did it, pfff, i wonder why they put that in. it gave me nightmares.

But, much appreciated, thsi solved the problem.

Thx a lot :)

 

It is there for access to the options you saw in it. Most users like to have it there. Personally i dont use it either, i simply have it set to a controller button for if i need it, as i can favourite games, choose a different version of a rom or launch a game with a different emulator from that screen, as well as many other options it provides.
