Retro808 Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 1: Do the games run directly in Retroarch without using LB? If yes, see # 2. If No, then the issue is either your roms or you do not have the right core downloaded in RA. Could be some other things as well. 2: If yes to #1. In your emulator setup for Retroarch within LB (>Tools>Manage Emulators) do you have to correct core selected for the platform name you added you Mame games to and does the platform name that is listed in the Associated Platforms tab matching exactly as you have the platform named within LaunchBox? Example: If you imported the mame roms into a platform called "Arcade" then the Associated Platform name in Retroarch should be called "Arcade". the names must match.

JoeViking245 Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 17 hours ago, Hads said: what esle is needed MAME stand alone (i.e. mame64.exe) and MAME being ran through RetroArch, though essentially the same, are 2 different animals when it comes to troubleshooting. You indicated you have RetroArch and MAME installed and mentioned you tried 'in just MAME' (leading me to think you tried in MAME stand alone). Please clarify. A lot of times, "missing files" can be caused by using mismatched roms and the executable (or in the case of RetroArch, core). But probably more-so are caused by acquiring incomplete rom sets. Does your rom set version match the version of your MAME executable and/or the core you're using in RetroArch? What game are you trying and what files does it say it missing? (a screenshot of the error message would work best for this). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
