ajhickin Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 Hi Guys, Wonder if you could assist please, I am doing a fresh build of LB, and I have tried to add AAE, scraped as Arcade - they are using MAME as the emulator but they wont load through LB. The games all load through the MAME UI though. I have added the AAE games folder to MAME, and made sure that the fully qualified path shows in the mame.ini file. I have tried ticking everything on/off on the 'Edit Emulator' screen. MAME is version 0217b (from today). I have tried searching through the issues on here, but cant seem to find the resolution, your assistance would be very appreciated Thanks, Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retro808 Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 In the Mame emulator set-up in Launchbox did you add the name of the AAE platform to the associated platforms tab? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajhickin Posted January 30, 2020 Author Share Posted January 30, 2020 Hi, yes I added the associated platform of AAE to the MAME emulator. I'm confused with it, when I right click a game, I have the option to open MAME so it knows it's linked, when I try right click > launch with, it says MAME also but there's no icon. When I open MAME outside of LB, I can see just my 35 AAE games and they launch fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit your Mame emulator in LB and show pic of the Details tab and the Associated platforms tab. Then select an AAE game and right click, edit. Show a pic of the Main page with the Launcher tab selected and then a pic with the Emulation tab selected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajhickin Posted January 30, 2020 Author Share Posted January 30, 2020 Hi, Here are the 4 screens you asked me to upload, hope you can figure it out... many thanks Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retro808 Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 Uncheck the "Extract ROM archives" option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajhickin Posted January 30, 2020 Author Share Posted January 30, 2020 Retro808, thanks!!! That worked! I'm sure i tried all the ticks on and off, and it's weird because the AAE games are zipped so I would expect that the option would need to be enabled... Anyway it works thanks ?

DOS76 Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 MAME only works with zipped games for the most part. It does work with software list games that aren't zipped but that is another topic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajhickin Posted January 30, 2020 Author Share Posted January 30, 2020 Thanks guys, just another quick question then - I added the AAE games directory in MAME ui, and it detected 35 games, that works perfectly. However, I have now added the games directory for Tiger Game.com but it doesn't detect the files. What would be the usual process for adding more systems to MAME? Would MAME only detect the roms if they are supported? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demosthenes2010 Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 @ajhickin I just happened to stumble across this post while doing some research on AAE and saw your last post regarding the Tiger Game.com I have configured mine by adding a new emulator called game.com that points to the mame64 executable. To make it work, you have to add gamecom -cart1 to the default comand-line parameters so MAME knows that you are attempting to launch the given ROM using the gamecom machine MAME is programmed to emulate. When adding ROMS, just select your game.com rom directory as you would for any other system, select the game.com emulator, specify that you are importing Tiger Game.com games for the platform, and off you go. I added the Tiger Game.com in the Associated Platforms, as well. Maybe not the most elegant way to do it but I intend to do the same with the CD-i, Intellivision, and Vectrex when I get around to it.
