A possible bug with Mame 2003-plus

I noticed that some games don’t work when launching from within LB. What happens is that you just see a black screen. 

This happens for example with the Mortal Kombat games, but for example Killer Instinct launches perfect. 
 

I did test another launcher to see if it’s an issue within LB and I guess it is as when I used a different launcher it just works. 
 

Edit: It does launches RA but looks likes to be not responding. Can only force quit it as any other button combination doesn’t work.

Are you 100% sure you have the correct mame203plus rom set? (Sometimes other launchers are point to a different rom location)

Mortal Kombat  I, II, and III all launching fine here from LB using mame2003plus Retroarch core.

Yes, got it from archive dot org. When I tried reset collection frontend and add same Rom set with same RA core it’s working fine.  I saw one the Odin group on FB another person having the same issue.

Mame 2003 plus is a "full set" it's just not complete like the latest official Mame sets. The 2003 plus core and set is a forked version of a very old version of Mame made specifically for lower end hardware while adding in games that were not emulated back in 2003 by Mame.

It's now its own thing but is not official or supported by the Mame devs, in fact the Mame devs actively hate its very existence.

Probably not, the Mame 2003 plus set or Final Burn Neo are probably your best bets. The full modern up to date Mame is not meant for lower powered hardware.

There is nothing wrong with the Mame 2003 plus set, it fits its niche case use very well.

Final Burn Neo is also an arcade rom set like the Mame 2003 plus?
