Are you importing a Mame full romset into LB or only a select number of games? If importing the full mame romset then use the Full Mame imported option and it will importing only working roms (the wizard excludes all the support files and all that junk like fruit games, mahjong, etc.). The importer has check box items so you can include as much or as little as you want. If you are importing only a set number of game you will have to manually select those rom files to import.

A full mame rom set depending on if you download split, merged or unmerged set will range from about 67GB (merged set) to 124GB (non-merged set). The only way for the LB UI to skip the bios and other support files is importing a full rom set. Otherwise, if you import only a selection of games you have to manually select those game rom files to import which mean you have to manually exclude the bios files. If you try to import the whole folder it will add all the files in the folder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enderfect Posted September 20, 2020 Author Share Posted September 20, 2020 Ah damn was hoping there was a quicker / faster way as i have no need for that many arcades lol Wish there was a skip bios button Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil9000 Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 Also if you hand picked roms from a merged set its likely a load of them wont work as they rely on other files in the romset you now dont have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
