mame rompaths

Hi, so after adding a new set of mame roms into launchbox I found nothing was launching, after randomly digging around I discovered the rom path in the mame.ini was not correct so fixed this up and everything launches ok, but I was surprised I needed to do this, I was assuming launchbox feeds the rom path to the exe when launching, my sample command for mame is;

mame64.exe -keyboardprovider dinput "FULL\PATH\TO\ROM\FILE"

Can I have this work dynamically without having to manually correct the path in the mame.ini if I want to add / change folders?

Launchbox does not physically pass the file, it simply tells mame the shortname to load and MAME locates the files and loads them.
