Orrmighty Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 (edited) Hi all, I just downloaded a whole bunch of mame roms on LB. most of them work fine with the mame emulator. However I’ve noticed the ones with additional apps (game versions?) don’t work..unless I pick a particular version and make it default. if I launch the games from mame emulator directly they work.. As I have hundreds of roms like this is there a way to bulk fix this problem?? Edited May 2, 2020 by Orrmighty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you say "downlaoded a whole bunch of mame roms on LB" do you mean you downloaded roms and imported them yourself into LB or you downloaded one of those prebuilt LaunchBox set-ups some people make? I would first right click a game an edit it, then in the additional apps tab edit one of the additional rom versions and make sure it is pointing to the correct emulator.

Orrmighty Posted May 2, 2020 Author Share Posted May 2, 2020 Hi! thankyou for your reply!! No I’m building my collection from scratch..I think I’ve figured the problem. I used mame arcade importer which I think imports game box art and stuff for roms that I don’t have. im gonna delete it all and just use the rom importer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesnt actually scan and check your files as its specifically for fullsets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
