I should also add that FB is not a "Full Romset" it is a subset of MAME roms designed to work on very low power devices, there are a ton of great games in a MAME romset that are missing in that romset. If you want to keep that romset then you need to use Final Burn Neo as the emulator to make sure that games work, and preferably a version of the emulator that is the exact same version as what the romset is, and you would need to delete that platform and import again using the standard rom importer. Also as another wrinkle did you use Launchbox's Mame fullset importer? cause that will cause issues too, its obviously designed for MAME and not FB, and it doesnt scan your rom folder at all, it gets the working game list from the emulator itself and adds those games, so if you used that you will have a ton of games "imported" that are not even in your romset (NARC may be one of those but i dont know, i would assume it is in a FB romset but i cant say for 100% off hand).

Then just run the standard rom importer and point it at a FBneo emulator and not a MAME one if you want to continue to use that romset. Personally id just go and download the current MAME romset and use our fullset importer which is far easier, but entirely up to you.

neil9000 Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 Thats a torrent magnet link, you need a torrent client installed first, then when that pops up your torrent client should pop up and say hey this is a torrent do you want to download it.
