RawrImReptar Posted January 26, 2021 Posted January 26, 2021 My MameUI64 can load all my mame games perfectly. But when I use launch box and use MameUI64 emulator not all my games work....Some games run just fine and the ones that doesnt give me a "unknown system" Quote
DeadVoivod Posted January 26, 2021 Posted January 26, 2021 Is your MAME version the same than the ROM set you use? Quote
RawrImReptar Posted January 26, 2021 Author Posted January 26, 2021 No my mame is the latest .227 but my rom set is .220 split Quote

"unknown sofware" I even tried taking the mame.ini to the root of the folder and still no luck Quote
DeadVoivod Posted January 26, 2021 Posted January 26, 2021 I'm always using merged sets, do you have one? If so, you should try that one. Quote

neil9000 Posted January 26, 2021 Posted January 26, 2021 copy the mame.ini from the ini folder to the root mameui folder. Quote
neil9000 Posted January 26, 2021 Posted January 26, 2021 Also uncheck the "dont use quotes" and the "use file name only" checkboxes in your third image, those should not be there for MAME. Quote

When I use mameui64 on its own i can play all the games. its only when i tried using launchbox some games work and some games give me unknown system. Quote

There is no such rom called 1943-2.zip, thats why, you are trying to load a non MAME rom there, where did you get your rom pack from? If you right click that game in Launchbox and go to edit/launching what is the path and file there? 1 Quote

But I believe there are duplicate files because of different regions. On mameui64 i could load the game in Japanese and etc. from watching the tutorial video, ETA Prime imported the roms and change region from North America to World. Quote

After literally days of me trying to figure it out that was the issue. Thank you so much. But now how do i remove all the duplicates easily? When I look in the roms folder theres so many roms with duplicate with - and #. I had to right click and edit the launching to the rom with no - and # Edited January 27, 2021 by RawrImReptar Quote
