drewjbx Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 I recently updated MAME roms to .254... (only gun games for a gun cabinet) My previous folder location was MAME 0.232 I updated the folder name to MAME. I simply find and replace MAME 0.232 to MAME in Arcade.xml. Upon restarting LB the file locations revert back to MAME 0.232. I disabled backups and even deleted all backup data and it still reverts back. Where is LB getting this info to revert back to my previous Rom location? I even deleted the whole system and imported with the new rom location... upon reboot LB restored the MAME 0.232 rom location! Also I will get double entries for additional apps... something strange is going on. <ApplicationPath>..\Roms\MAME\jpark.zip</ApplicationPath> <ApplicationPath>..\Roms\MAME 0.232\jpark.zip</ApplicationPath> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeViking245 Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 Try having LaunchBox change the paths for you. Select all games in your Arcade Platform (click on one, then press Ctrl+A). Then click Tools, File Management, Change ROMs Folder Path for Selected Games and follow the prompts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I just tried that, then I close out LB and re-open and it comes back. But some titles do remain with the correct change. Also if you notice the additional apps was Zero now some titles are doubled up and some with 4. I normally have all games have SInden Open and Sinden Close. I removed all using the bulk remove. There is some cache file somewhere maybe with this data... or maybe it has something to do the bulk additional apps plugin Edited May 14, 2023 by drewjbx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drewjbx Posted May 14, 2023 Author Share Posted May 14, 2023 (edited) Here is audit results after removing all additional apps, then using bulk run app for only 1 process. Then I selected all roms and use file management - change roms folder path. Everything looks correct.... as shown in this image After LB is closed and re-open... here is an audit of the same system. WTH is going on? Edited May 14, 2023 by drewjbx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixelfetish Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 (edited) Missing the feature for multiple rompaths here in Launchbox...at least for MAME. The problem with multiple rompaths in mame.ini is, Launchbox won't look for new roms there. I have to do everything manually. If we were at least able to populate the variable %romlocation%.

You shouldnt be scanning for additional roms for mame, you upgrade your romset, not add random games to it, thats a bad idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
