This has nothing to do with that Big Box setting you pointed out earlier. Go to Tools > Options > Legacy > Images > Background Priorities and uncheck everything there. We're gonna have a fix for that out shortly, but that should do it. Edit: That's in LaunchBox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im suspecting this may be related to you using a fork rather than the official release. Yeah I guess I could sometime. But wouldn't i have to update all my rom files and such? I suppose it wouldn't be too hard to find a specific one just to test with. But meh, even if standalone mame worked, I don't feel like trying to curate the newest romset, and I already have everything setup perfectly this way through RL also (pause savestates, bezels, fades, keymapping profiles). I wouldn't switch anyways even if standalone mame worked. Obviously it works because I see scores over there on the games. So oh well. Maybe someday i'll be in the mood to completely update and curate and stuff, and find a mame .lay bezel set that I like. But for now I'll just stick with what works for me. Or hopefully be allowed to point launchbox to the correct files someday. Gonna have to turn the feature off now lol. I can't be teased by everyone else's scores and not be able to join in the fun haha. Edited April 14, 2020 by damageinc86 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluSonik Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 Thank You @Jason Carr that worked perfectly ? don't know if it helps but the only thing I had ticked in Background Priorities before I cleared it was Epic Games Background, it might not mean anything but I thought id make you aware ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No just ad it as a emulator in launchbox and specify Arcade as the associated platform, then when you right click a game and go to "Launch with" you will have the options of RocketLauncher or MAME. No need to touch your roms at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A possible solution, Mameuifx is 4 years old now with development ceased, maybe try using arcade64, its the spiritual successor to uifx, i used fx back in the day and it was by far the best frontend mame had imho, but i felt right at home with arcade64. Also i guess you are using a rom set matched to the old version of uifx, if so that may also cause an issue, as roms get updated so the entry point that hi2txt uses may not be the same location in old rom sets, this is just an hypothesis on my part though,so take with a grain of salt.

Are you sure it doesn't work if you create those folders and copy hiscore.dat there? The log file you posted is still claiming that it can't find that file. It works with the newest version of Arcade64, outside of rocketlauncher. Edited April 14, 2020 by damageinc86 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a fork that is strictly for the Arcade games, things like mechanical, mahjong, fruit machines etc simply are not supported. It also has GUI which can make things easier for some as no ini editing is needed. It also has in my eyes a more aesthetically pleasing in game UI. Essentially its the same as the Standard mame, but just supports Arcade games and has a different UI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Carr Posted April 14, 2020 Author Share Posted April 14, 2020 Gotcha, thanks @neil9000. Good to know. I'll probably stick with MAME for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

damageinc86 Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 Yeah they picked it up after mameuifx stopped being updated/worked on. While I can do my share of editing .inis and stuff, I always enjoy being able to point and click my way through options in a GUI, so I'm glad they kept it going. Got some great .lay bezels from the bezel project (had to edit some of them, the photoshop cut of the inside of the screen was horrible). Now I can get cracking on some hi scores. Adds some fun connectivity to launchbox, and gives you a reason to play some games again lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crispy4000 Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 Just wanted to pop in and say thanks for the Epic Launcher support! Hopefully we can get Uplay/Origin/Amazon too at some point. But even just getting Epic in there saves a ton of the hassle with how often they do giveaways. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beatlemaniac19 Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 (edited) There seems to be an odd new glitch that doesn't allow multi-disc games to open. It seems to only be problematic on CD based games that are in the CUE or CHD file formats. For example, multi-version roms as additional apps seem to be opening fine, but all of my disc-based games are in CHD so for example Night Trap won't open because it's a multi-disc game. Is anyone else experiencing this problem? This problem has only occurred with the latest version of LaunchBox. For the time being, I'm just going to delete the other discs as additional applications, because that's the only way the games will load now. It's not an ideal workaround, but I wanted to report this issue in case anyone else is experiencing it. Btw, I'm using RetroArch for all of my games so it's possible it's a RA issue, but very doubtful, because this issue has only popped up with the latest version of LB like I mentioned. Btw the issue that occurs is that the RA application either won't launch or it'll launch and just be a blank black screen. Edit: I figured out a workaround for the issue. If I don't put a disc number for the additional applications then everything works perfectly and I can just name the additional applications different versions and the multiple versions badge will appear so it works out fine that way. However, the issue with this is that the multi-disc badge won't appear if I do it this way. For this issue to be solved it seems that either A) the disc number issue should be fixed or B) the multi-disc badge should just be a tick-box that you can select on any game. This issue isn't that big of a deal or the end of the world. I just wanted to bring it to your attention and see if anyone is experiencing this issue. Thanks and stay safe Edited April 18, 2020 by Beatlemaniac19 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deliyuerek85 Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 Hello Lauchbox crew, I wanted to say, that you do a very great job in adding amazing new features to LB/BB. One of them is the import feature for platforms like Steam, GOG, Epic Games etc. Will you add other platforms like Origin and Uplay too or is it not possible at the moment? I have another question about the MAME highscores. Maybe this has been asked before but I could not find it. Is this feature only working with the standalone MAME program or with Retroarch too? If yes, what do I need to do to get it work? One last question is, can you please add a button in the game details view to mark games as installed manually? Sorry for all this question and sorry if they have been answered already. You guys do an amazing job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
