using MAME

[DrJ0nes]

Hi all

 

I am trying to get lB up and running MAME.

I import roms download all media select a MAME emulator and that all works fine.

When I go to play a game the screen blacks out then I get a small little outline of a box then it it closes the black window.

Any suggestions?

regards

This might be hard to narrow down.  There are two things we need to know first:

1 - Can you play those games from within Mame directly?

2 - Assuming #1 works, did you import based on your romset?  For example, if you do not have a full romset, you should not use the Mame Arcade Full Set option, as that will make entries even for all games, even ones that you do not have.  If you only have some of the roms (ie. only games you wanted to get, or you used a all killer/no filler list to select just the roms you wanted) then you need to import the roms in LB using the older way (ie. Import Roms and make sure Mame format is selected during the import process).

The most important step though is #1.  If #1 doesn't work with the roms you have, then the issue is with the romset (missing files, missing bios, incorrect settings in mame, etc.).  If #1 works, then the issue is related to how you imported the roms in LB, or the emulator settings in LB.

Hope this helps narrow the issue down a little.
