MAME not working

[Arcade.Dad]

Hi,

i am having trouble starting games with mame from Launchbox.

If i rightclick and choose "Open MAME" from inside Launchbox, and run the games from Mame this way, then it works.

But when launching directly from Lauchbox, it does not work.

 

i have placed mame.ini in mame root folder

games are placed in

C:\Launchbox\games\arcade\gamename\romfiles.xxxx

C:\Launchbox\games\arcade\ is added to mame.ini

mame can start the games from C:\Launchbox\games\arcade\ when running mame directly

 

any clues?

What version is your MAME emulator?  (example “0.249”)

Can you provide Screenshots of the following sections:

Go to Tools, Manage, Emulators, select the emulator you setup for MAME and provide a screenshot of 

• Details
• Associated Platforms

mame is version 0.248

ok, problem solved.

turned out that all games needs to be in separate zip files.

i had the games in folders instead
