Lordmonkus Posted November 27, 2023 Author Share Posted November 27, 2023 You don't have to re-import, you can just re-scrape the platform and get the media you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reaper978 Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 Ok. Can you please tell me how to re-scrape? I tried using “update metadata and media for all games” and now unfortunately every game on each platform now is blank (like the screenshots I posted). Hopefully I didn’t screw anything up.

pofo14 Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 Anyone have a tip for adding these magnet links? I have never used them before, and nothing is there to re-check or download when I add them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tangodown Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 Does anybody please know where I can get a full rom set for 0.259. I have looked everywhere. internet achive, mega ect.

They do have older ones, but those are mostly for the lower end units, such low power pc, or raspberry pi style boards. I wouldn't worry about trying to update your roms. Just download the newest and match it with the new mame build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DocHoliday Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 (edited) Can someone help me with the CHD software lists im confused. I am trying to set up my first LB build and I have N64 and NES roms running fine but I also downloaded MAME 0.261 Software List CHDs (merged) and Im not sure what to do with it LOL Sorry for the super noob question Edited January 29 by DocHoliday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted January 29 Author Share Posted January 29 My opinion but to me software lists are a waste of time and space. Better off getting No-Intro sets for cart based systems and Redump sets for CD/DVD based systems. They are far more versatile, they work in any emulator and using Mame for most systems outside of arcade is very much hit or miss on the quality of emulation.\ This is just my opinion, people are free to do what they like and prefer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gothicplsur Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Hey guys! I recently installed Launchbox, imported my full set of Mame .261, media and everything works perfectly. I have a couple questions... Every month a new version of Mame drops, how do I update LB to the new version of Mame, For example, when I installed LB it was Mame .261, now .262 released and I want to update LB to the latest version and roms. Do I have to import a full set again or is there an easy way? Second: In Mame itself I use MameUI and in the default system options I enable Bi-Linerar filter, HLSL, GLSL, for smoother textures and sometimes for scanlines on certain games. How do I enable that for LB, or is it simply thru the Mame.ini in the LB folder? Third and lastly, I went to run Killer Instinct a .CHD game and it attempted to load but then went back to LB, I have in my Mame directory: Roms/CHDs/kinst does the kinst folder need to be out of the main CHD folder in order for LB to find it? Thanks for your time in reading. Thank you again in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for your time in reading. Thank you again in advance! You re-import the full set. Note you will lose any customization as re-import uses the MAME data for things like genre and player type as they will revert to MAME way of things. If only interested in a specific game in the update you can drag and drop the ROM into LB Arcade window and install that way and that way doesn't mess with any customization. LB isn't an emulator, so there is nothing to enable. LB will launch the emulator with whatever settings you have setup. For regular MAME those settings are determined via MAME.INI (or command line). There is really no reason (in my view) to use MAMEUI if using LB as front-end. Don't move the CHD folders as that is way needs to be setup with folder name and CHD inside that folder. In LB it should point to the the kinst.zip file. Your CHD should then be here using what you described: ROMS\CHDS\kinst\kinst.chd More than likely if not launching you have a path/setting issue. Does it work with MAME directly? If you try launching from command window (outside LB) what error does it give you?) Make sure your path to CHDs is specified in the MAME.ini for rompath (in your case would be called "CHDs"). For regular MAME you set the settings such as bi-linear filter, HSL and GSL here: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothicplsur Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 I've always used UI as a base program for mame. Here is the path to my CHDs, So it would seem correct, and the CHD files are in their corresponding folders. But still goes back to LB main screen when I start, say Killer Instinct. I'll try and move the CHD folders of the games into where the ROMs are located and see if that makes a difference. And great the HLSL works as intended once I enabled. - Thanks for that!

And great the HLSL works as intended once I enabled. - Thanks for that! rompath defaults to where the executable is launched as base path. So when you have just "Roms" in the ROMPath then assumption is MAMEUI.exe\ROMs is where things are located. Similar with CHDs. If you are executing via MAMEUI.EXE then the paths and roms should be like this: MAMEUI.EXE\ROMS MAMEUI.EXE\ROMS\CHDS You MAME.ini would then be rompath roms;roms\CHDS You shouldn't need to put in the full path and in many cases causes issues later. You also shouldn't have to move anything as that is whole point of the rompath variable to point to correct pathing. Just make sure your logic and names are correct for both.
