How to add additional games to MAME after a fullset import?

[leolobato]

I've ran the fullset import and it worked great, emumovies, playlists and all. I did that without having any CHD files.

Now I want to add two games that I downloaded the CHD files for, and have them automatically added to the playlists.

Is there a simple way to do that? Or do I need to run the full set importer again? I'd hate to mess up my setup now that's working nicely.

Launchbox doesnt care about the CHD only the emulator itself does. As long as mame knows where the CHD is, then those games will now load from Launchbox.

I had searched for those two games (killer instinct 1 & 2) and couldn't find them, although their rom zip files were on the mame roms folder that I imported (I think there is a flag on the fullset importer to not include chd games?).

I copied the chd folders to the mame roms folder, used the "Import -> Rom Files..." option, picked the roms zip files (kinst.zip and kinst2.zip) and they now show up correctly, even on the playlists.

Thanks!

Ah, yeah that is a new filter in the mame importer, and i havent imported a set since that was added so it slipped my mind.

Yup, that would of been what i would of suggested, however you can also just drag and drop to Launchbox, so i would of done it that way. Glad you figured out how to get them added though.
