MAME issue

[Zman]

Hey all. LB for Android is great so far. Getting all my console games to work went pretty smooth but I cannot seem to get LB to launch MAME. I've tried every setting and core I think. I can start Retroarch and play all my roms flawlessly but when I try and get LB to open it I just get a blank black screen in Retroarch and then have to crash it. Been messing with this for a couple days now and I think I've exhausted every option. I'd appreciate it if someone can point me in the right direction. Thanks be well.

Hi @Zman, make sure you're using the sideloaded RetroArch APK, and not the version from the Play Store. Google has unfortunately crippled that version. So download the APK directly from the RetroArch website. Then download the official MAME core from inside of RetroArch (the one without dates on it). Select that core in LaunchBox, and make sure you're using a recent MAME ROM set, and you should be up and running.

Thanks Jason. Going to uninstall everything and report back with my success (hopefully lol). Have a good day.

That worked like a charm. I really appreciate your help. Game on!
