ninochar Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 Hello New to Launchbox finally got Mame to work after endless downloads. I have new version with new .237 with corresponding .237 Romset. Merged files. Now I can launch in name with no issue. However when I launch from big box or Launchbox it stays on the the mame menu and I would need to press enter on the keyboard then it would launch the game in the mame menu itself does this make sense it's the only emulator thats doing this thanks for any help provided Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faeran Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 Hi @ninochar. Are you seeing the MAME menu or the MAME disclaimer? A screenshot could clarify this. If it's the disclaimer then that is built into MAME. My understanding is that the only way to remove it is to use an unofficial version where it was removed, or remove it yourself and compile your own version. We do have @MadK9 who graciously posts the no-nag version of MAME in the downloads section. Most recent one can be found here: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninochar Posted October 27, 2021 Author Share Posted October 27, 2021 Not the disclaimer Its actually the mame menu screen where it shows the options and games now from there I can launch the game however its not like the other emulators like retroarch where the game loads on its own Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should look something like this for arcade games: Sounds like MAME is getting launched but the ROM/game isn't getting passed. Did you use Tools, Import, MAME Full Arcade Set to import your roms into LB? Edited October 29, 2021 by sundogak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninochar Posted October 29, 2021 Author Share Posted October 29, 2021 OMG Thank you that new version of mame worked like a charm. i went into the settings and took out all the disclamers and used the setting you have on the screen shot i had the unzip roms checked so i think that could have been why it wasnt loading appreciate the help on this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the unzipping is what was tripping MAME up. MAME expects things to be in archive format at least for arcade ROM sets.
