monicapo Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 Hi. I have a problem. If I launch mame ROMs with mame emulator, ROMs work fine, but if I launch mame ROMs with launchbox (with the same mame emulator), ROMs show graphics problems. Can I configure any options un mame ir launchbox to fix this problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are these game play graphic issues or bezel grahpic issues. Can you share a pic. Are you using standard command line mame or something MameUI?

Headrush69 Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 I suspect that the command line options you set in LB for MAME are not the same you are using directly with MAME. As Retro808, are you using command line MAME or MAMEUI or another variant?If you are seeing diagonal lines across the screen in MAME, it's like a problem with missing artwork be used by a MAME layout file.

neil9000 Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 Also just to add there arent really any options in Launchbox that control the emulators, unless you have specifically input some command line options yourself. Launchbox simply opens the emulator and it uses whatever settings you have set in said emulator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's exactly the problem. Diagonal lines across the screen. Then is a mame configuration into Emulator Manager from Launchbox? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Headrush69 Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 There is something wrong with the artwork file for that game. I don't know where you got your artwork pack, but if you go into MAME directory -> artwork look for a folder or a zip file named exactly the same as your rom. (If you are using the standard MAME locations) If you remove it the problem should be gone, but obviously no artwork. You can re-download artwork for that game from many different sources. You can also inspect the lay file within that folder or zip and see what image file it is pointing to and possibly fix it. Option 1 is likely easier.

monicapo Posted March 29, 2020 Author Share Posted March 29, 2020 I attach my artwork directory and a video showing the problem. t_video5766964850194384977.mp4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retro808 Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 That does not look like the same diagonal lines @Headrush69 was talking about. If it was an artwork issue it would be a static line since the artwork is just an image overlay. Artwork issues in Mame usually look like the image below (static diagonal lines). Does that affect show up on every game? If so maybe try changing the video driver your mame is using. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
