Retro808 Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 Cn you clarify what you mean by it will not do anything? Can you not click on the "Next" button on the bottom to move to the next screen in the import wizard? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatso Posted March 20, 2023 Author Share Posted March 20, 2023 (edited) the next button doesn't cause anything to happen. I reinstalled launchbox on a different drive and its the same problem. Edited March 21, 2023 by fatso Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retro808 Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 Not entirely sure. Do not believe I have seen a report of this before. Perhaps something went corrupt in your LB. Try reinstalling the version you are using. It will not affect anything you already imported or settings you have. You can simply install it over top of the existing build. In your \Launchbox\Updates folder will be the installers for the versions you have downloaded. Look for the most recent one and simply run it. Be sure to look at the path it is installing as it may try to install to a \Launchbox\Launchbox folder. Make sure it is only \Launchbox.

C-Beats Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 After selecting the folder click on the text box and erase one character then put it back. Does it work then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisandthetopher Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 Hi, I am having the exact same issue where the next button is greyed out after picking the location for my MAME roms, I have tried re-installing and changing the rom folder location, but it doesn't seem to fix it.

dale1ofmany Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 Any solution to this? Having the same problem: it looks like Launchbox doesn't recognize there are roms in the file - it shows as no items after the folder is selected and the 'next' button is greyed out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bpmcl Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 (edited) Sorry, but having this exact same issue. The "Next" box can't be clicked, and the "Select romset version" dropdown doesn't appear. Editing the path or browsing to another directory doesn't make a difference. EDIT: Including screenshot. Also tried to add a trailing "\", but that didn't help. Edited August 31, 2023 by bpmcl Adding screenshot and context Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bpmcl Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 Found the problem (at least in my case). I was using a VPN (specifically NordVPN), and that is somehow blocking access to the Launchbox URL, which is, I assume, making an API call to pull the list of supported MAME versions and silently failing. It worked once I realized this and paused my VPN. Hopefully this is helpful for someone. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
