Nostalgia Empire Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 I'm new to Launchbox, but have been using MAME for years. I'm using an older version (.103) and because of that, at first Launchbox wouldn't load the games. I saw some other posts with similar issues that had said to delete the Default Command Line Parameters line where it had the keyboard commands when setting up the emulator I did that and now the games load, but now all the names of the games are as they are in the Roms themselves, for example, double dribble is "ddribble" etc I'd rather not change all the names of 2000+ games. Is there something I should have done differently? I know this is a really old version of MAME, but it's the one that always worked best for me with my roms and it has all the games I want. Let me know what you think and thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeadVoivod Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 Did you use the full MAME set importer to import your games? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice thought, but I believe that romset is far too old for that tool to work. 20 hours ago, Nostalgia Empire said: Is there something I should have done differently? In the ROM import there is a "Force MAME Metadata" checkbox. I'd make sure that's checked. You may run into some issues just because of how old your MAME install is though. I'd strongly recommend you upgrade your set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nostalgia Empire Posted December 28, 2022 Author Share Posted December 28, 2022 Cool, I never used the full MAME set importer for the above mentioned reasons. I tried the "Force MAME metadata checkbox" fix and everything works now. Issue solved, Thanks! And Launchbox is sooooo cool. It's really great to have everything in one spot and Big box takes it to the next level! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nostalgia Empire Posted December 31, 2022 Author Share Posted December 31, 2022 Just updated to MAME .250 with a full RomSet, what a difference! I was able to do the full romset import with the wizard and it worked like a charm, thanks again for your help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeadVoivod Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 It's so great that it's still very easy to get all the MAME sets nowadays. And Kudos to the whole MAME team making this happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
