VegasMiggiani Posted August 25, 2022 Posted August 25, 2022 Hi there team! I just purchased a full version of Launchbox for Android - which I love - but I'm having a REALLY difficult time getting any of the Retroarch Cores to work with the MAME ROMs I have. At least, I think that's the problem. I have loaded ALL of the MAME Cores and I still can't get a game to load. I just get the black screen that hangs. I CAN get the other systems to work with Retroarch (SNES, NES, Genesis, etc.). And if I use MAME4Droid, I can get the ROMS to load, but they take a REALLY long time to load - that's another topic. I'm using .139u1. Is there an optimal MAME Core to use? And what ROMSET should I use with it? Thanks!! Quote
jonathanmarcoux Posted September 3, 2023 Posted September 3, 2023 Im having the same issue..... working great when retroarch load NES or SNES but freeze black screen on any of my mame roms.....I can play it directly with no issue directly with retro arch but having this thrue LB....crash... please help Quote
Retro808 Posted September 3, 2023 Posted September 3, 2023 Best answer is to not use RA for Mame. Their core is crap. Use standalone mame. Most likely issue as to why you cannot get LB to launch mame games through RA is you have the option to extract rom ticked Edit Retroarch in LB (>Tools >Manage >Emulators) and see if you have the box checked to "Extract Rom archive before running" checked. If so, uncheck it. Quote

If so, uncheck it. This worked for me. Just a question: Of course, it is better to use Mame instead of RA, but for me it seems that making the bezels possible with RA is very easy and I struggled trying with just standalone Mame. I could not find a good guide on how to achieve this, so I kept using RA just for that. Any tips on how to get the RA bezels to work on standalone Mame? Quote
dragon57 Posted September 4, 2023 Posted September 4, 2023 If you use the Bezel Project's Windows app, it allows you to install those bezel packs into a native MAME install. Quote
