Simpsons stopped working in Launchbox

[MRB_Alters]

It seemed to happen randomly today. The only changes I had made was to add bezel artwork to the mame/artwork folder, went to start the game and got this screen. It starts up fine through mame and I haven't encountered issues with any other games. I've tried removing the bezel art and it still didn't start. I've re-loaded the rom, reloaded mame as an emulator... not sure what else could be causing it?

What Mame version are you using? Standard command line Mame, MameUI, Arcade64? And how old is the version of it?

Did you update Launchbox versions? 

If it still runs in Mame then there is a couple things it could be depending on your answers.

I'm running Mameui64 version 0.217 with the updated romset. I have Launchbox version 10.9 (which just had me reinstall the update for some reason.)

There was an update to address a performance issue with 10.8.

Ok. But the game is still not working. It's still attempting and then giving me those same boxes.

Yeah I don't have a solution for you, if the game worked before and you didn't change emulator or rom then it should work now.

If this game is launching directly from MAME but no longer through LaunchBox, open the game's Edit Game window and see if LaunchBox is still pointing to the game. If the path looks wrong you can just manually browse to the game.

the image in your original post is simply saying MAME cant find ANY of the files it needs for that game, so either your path in MAME is wrong, or the rom got moved/deleted somehow.

[MRB_Alters]

I've checked the rom path and it is correct. I even force reloaded the rom to make sure and it still didn't work.

Go to the zip file you are pointing at (would assume from the image it is simpsons.zip) open it up and look in the root. All the files listed in that error message should be in the root of that zip file. The errors are stating that MAME did not find them there. Sounds like a file corruption issue or you aren't pointing to the correct file (or the MAME ini file is set up incorrectly). Don't know of any other reasons you would see that message.

Just a shot in the dark since you are using MameUI and say the game works directly in Mame. Where is your Mame.ini file located? Is it in the ini folder or is located in the root folder where the Mame.exe is?

My .ini file is in the Mame root folder. I checked the simpsons.zip file and all the files are there.

Do you by chance have more than one installation of mameui64.exe?  

It looks to me like the mame.ini file that's in the same folder as the mameui64.exe you're pointing LaunchBox to, doesn't have the 'rompath' pointing to the folder that simpsons.zip is located in.

Or if you have more than one simpsons.zip on your computer....
