Prehistoric Isle in 1930: Not Launching but does from Mame itself

[Venom]

Hi, first time I have used launchbox as a front end. On my arcade machines I run a Pi and a PC and both done a while ago and were quite painful to set up.

The import mame in Launchbox was fantastic, before I had to find all the images !

 

Thought would use Launchbox with my TV in the lounge ! I have sorted the xbox controller file out for four players so that is good !

Wondered if someone could replicate or advise on this one niggle !

Prehistoric Isle 1930 launches using mame64 fine with no issues at all if i run it without Launchbox

When I run launchbox and select it , it  starts to load it but never does just exits it ?

I tried creating a mame ini and put in root and ini folder like suggested  within this forum, but that made no difference. I know mame.ini is working as I added the Xbox controller cfg details into it !

I ran a debug copied all that below if helps.

Sure it is something obvious I have missed. 

I am running a mame 202 non cloned set up, with correct bioses

Everything else I have tried so far working well !Wondered if anyone had a handy hint ! Thanks in advance.

Obvious question but have you told MAME your rompath? I just tested here launching from Launchbox and it worked just fine.

[Venom]

I thought that originally as sods law was first game I ran !

But yes rom path is all good as rtype , rtype 2 and prehistoric isle 2 works fine 

 

Its a mystery. Launching mam64  manually prehistoric isle  1930 works with no problem.

 

Thanks for checking though

 

 

[spycat]

Your debug log shows Launchbox using the clone prehisleu.zip
You could repoint LaunchBox to the parent prehisle.zip and see what happens.
 

[Venom]

Great news ,  you are correct when I right click edit I can see that in launchbox.

It must of just been throwing mame up and then exiting after not finding rom.

I have a version of mame with no clones so is actually got the world rom not the US one.

I have just changed the default to the world version of the rom  and is now launching just fine.

That's really helpful, and I will know what to look for if happens on any other roms.

I'd  wrongly assumed on the import it just used the version of the rom it found in the directory.

I don't have the one ending U at all.

I've kept mame down to a 10GB no clone version.

 

Thank's for helping appreciate it.

If you do not have a full MAME romset then you shouldnt of used the MAME fullset importer. That importer does not scan your files at all, it assumes you have a fullset and imports all working roms via a metadata file. If you have a handpicked set you should use the standard rom importer, otherwise you are going to have tons of games that dont work as you dont actually have the rom files for them, but they will show in Launchbox.

[Venom]

I did not realise  that as I have only just set this up , and just followed a youtube video and let the wizard go crazy !

As I have only just set this all up I don't mind doing  a fresh install and look at how I do a standard rom import instead, will see if there is a guide or where I click later this evening !

I'll uninstall launchbox and retry it from scratch, if its easier.

Thanks for info.

 

[Venom]

That's perfect. I delete the arcade xml and redid it as you said.

Prehistoric isle worked first time. I also notice when I edit it , it now only sees the one rom I have for it.

 

Thanks for helping, will play some games now !
