Fireydemon Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 Green as f*&k when it comes to this sort of thing. Set up latest launchbox and used the "import full rom set" function to import the mame .240 roms that I had downloaded. Every thing looks fine, all games have their boxes on the screen, but when i click on them to play it starts loading then flicks back to the selection screen. Please be gentle lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retro808 Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 Can you run the game directly in Mame without LB? If not that needs to be fixed. One thing to check is if you told Mame where your roms are stored. If you did not put them inside the rom folder within the Mame folder you need to update the Mame rom directory. If they do run directly in Mame you might have a setting issue in LB. One of the more common errors is the Associated Platform name. Edit your Mame emulator in LB and make sure in the Associated Platforms tab the EXACT name of the platform you imported to roms to is showing there. The name has to match.

Hi Retro Games wont run directly in Mame without LB Have found that some games run in LB, like altered beast and shinobi, but most capcom games dont work. Its really random as to what games will work. Thought it might of been developer based but that doesnt appear to be the issue. Could it be the Romset I downloaded?

Retro808 Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 Yeah. You may be missing support files. Capcom games require a qsound zip file and there are other games that need specific bios/support files. So if the romset you downloaded did not come with those then that rom set is junk. Not sure where you got that set but I would get a rom set from a more reputable site. Google Pleasuredome Github io Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fireydemon Posted February 11, 2022 Author Share Posted February 11, 2022 Thats where I got the Rom files from. Did I need to download the Datfiles along with the merged full set? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cause that is all you need and contains everything, and will work with version 0.240 of the MAME emulator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fireydemon Posted February 11, 2022 Author Share Posted February 11, 2022 Yes, Thats the version I downloaded. Then I used the launchbox wizard to set up. 8 minutes ago, neil9000 said: What "version" did you download, MAME 0.240 ROMs (merged)?

How exactly did you import? The wizard can import the files/rom set in several ways. DId you use the Full Set import option or just a selection of games? Also if the roms do not run directly in Mame without using LB that's the bigger issue. It is always best to set up the emulator first, test the games there, configure your controls, then do a LB import. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fireydemon Posted February 12, 2022 Author Share Posted February 12, 2022 I used the full set option. I guess I gave the install wizard more credit than it was due lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also have that set and used the fullset importer and everything works fine, so something is definitely funky with yours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fireydemon Posted February 12, 2022 Author Share Posted February 12, 2022 found games that are working in Mame. could it just be my rom set got corrupted somehow during the download? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fireydemon Posted February 12, 2022 Author Share Posted February 12, 2022 Thanks all. Deleted Launchbox, mame and roms and started all over again. Downloaded Roms in Vzue instead of the Bittorrent web default from the link. Done everything again and it all seems to be working. I guess it was corrupted files?
