bakamorgan Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 I went and found... or at least I THINK I found the rom for 6 player xmen version and it don't want to import or launch. It matches at a couple different websites. Was curious if anyone else had it and had issues loading it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 2 minutes ago, bakamorgan said: it don't want to import or launch Which won't it do ? If it doesn't import then do you already have another version imported ? If you do then you will want to import it and check "force import duplicates" in the import wizard. If it does import but not launch then make sure that the version of the rom you got works with the version of Mame that you have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bakamorgan Posted August 20, 2019 Author Share Posted August 20, 2019 (edited) If I go thru mame it's self I have like 6 version of it. xmen 4 player (EU, JPN.. etc) and the 6 player is there and works. might have to force import dups thanks. I will have to tinker with it tomorrow. Trying to let the metadata update. probably got a ways to go.

Lordmonkus Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Yeah, Mame roms have many versions for different regions and machine variants (2 player, 4 player and 6 player). If you are using the Mame Fullset Importer all the versions are actually imported and are placed in the "additional apps" for the game. Right click the game and edit it, go to the additional apps tab and you should see a list of entries there for each rom version. You can pick which one you want to be the default rom that loads when you double click it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bakamorgan Posted August 20, 2019 Author Share Posted August 20, 2019 Would it to be possible to have both show on the list an just have their names changed? like x-men 6play Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 I'm not 100% certain if this will work or not but I think it should work even if you imported your roms using the full set import tool. Drag the 6 player version of the rom into LB in your Arcade platform and force import duplicates. I have both versions in my Arcade platform but I also only have a smaller hand picked rom set, not a full set. I know mine are both named the same but you can rename one to what you want to indicate which version it is. You also will most likely have to make a copy of the art assets and rename them accordingly to show for that new game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damageinc86 Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 (edited) Yup that's what i did with the turtles 2 player and 4 player. I just made a copy of my mame rom (since it was the merged one) renamed it to the turtles 2 player one, and then imported it and named it differently in launchbox. Works fine.

bakamorgan Posted August 20, 2019 Author Share Posted August 20, 2019 There is a 2player TMNT arcade? Thought those were all 4 player. I will have to check for that too once I get home tonight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Yeah, TMNT, Simpsons, Sunset Riders and Gauntlet all have 2 player versions, they let you pick the character you want to play after putting in your coins instead of the character being tied to the coin slot.

bakamorgan Posted August 20, 2019 Author Share Posted August 20, 2019 worked great thanks. I will have to look into doing that to other titles, that might need it in the future. thanks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
