Arcade1993 Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 (edited) So I have been using Big Box on my MAME cabinet for quite some time now. I decided to enable the ability to see the file name of the game being launched. In this example, it's umk3.zip which is Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3. However, in my ROMs folder, I have 3 versions of UMK3. umk3.zip, umk3r10.zip , and umk3r11.zip Since I have all 3 revisions, I would like to know if there is a way in BigBox mode where I change which version of UMK3 I want to play. Sometimes different revisions have cool glitches and such which might be fun to play once in a while. If anyone knows any way to do this, please let me know!

Combine the roms in Launchbox into one title. Then in either LB and BB you can choose the version. In BB in the game details screen you will see Additional Apps/Version option. Click it and it brings up the different versions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In LB ctrl + left click on the "yourgamev.1" then ctrl + left click on version 2 of the game you want to combine, then right click on the game and there should be a option to combine the selected titles.

Retro808 Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 1 hour ago, Arcade1993 said: Anyone? Please? Apologies, I completely forgot I replied to you on this issue. What Mute654 advised is correct. If you imported both games and they show as individual games in LB just select both and right click then combine. During import you can also select the check box to combine games of the same name. So a couple ways. Also afteer you have combined if you edit that combined game and click on the additional apps tab you can select which of the combined games show up as the default game.

Arcade1993 Posted May 2, 2020 Author Share Posted May 2, 2020 Thanks for the replies! The problem is I don't see each game as individual games in LB. Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 only shows up once, even though I have 3 revisions of the game. How do I go about combining them in my situation?

DOS76 Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 Are your games already combined? If you right click the game in LB does it have multiple options to launch the game in the context menu? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DOS76 Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 When you imported your games did you check the option not to import clones as additional apps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the reply. I am guessing I probably told it not to import clones because I don't want Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles UK showing up instead of the American one. Is there a way to override that on a game-by-game basis? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
