Final Burn Neo stand alone emulator wont play CPS1,2,3 games via Launchbox

[Noobist45]

I have Final Burn Neo installed on Win 10. I have three folders set up CPS1, CPS2 & CPS3. Scanned all the folders and can run everything.  When setting up via Launchbox I import roms, platform as CPS1, emulator as Final Burn Neo and when I try to play it says 

"the folder path /this game is not supported by by final burn neo"

I used the same three folders located in the same location (CPS1, CPS2, CPS3) when using Final Burn Neo on it's own and via Launchbox. The games run in the stand alone emulator but not through Launchbox.

Any suggestions ?

Also tried Final Burn Alpha, once again all CPS rom run fine in the stand alone emulator but not via Launchbox. Have also tried changing the emulator to MAME, when launching a game the screen goes black, the word 'initialising' flashes for a minute and then crashes.

I don't completely understand why but after at least 3 or 4 hours of searching this forum with titles that dont match my issue I found something and just tried it.  "Remove file extension and folder path"

Not sure why but now everything works.
