Starwind Amada Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 The games all have BIN files, which sometimes is what you need but there are multiple BIN files. One of my ROMs is X-Men 92. Which file do I select for Launchbox to launch the game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can only run zipped Mame roms that are recognized by Mame. Not sure what X-men 92 is. Do you mean the Konami X-men game released in 1992? What emulator are you trying to use?

I want Launchbox to see the games and open MAME when I click on the icons in my Launchbox library. And yes I mean the Konami X-Men. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I try to import it says "The folder does not contain a full MAME ROM set." There are 4 zip files in that folder. I put the ROMs in a Games folder in my LB directory like the video says. If I import the ZIP files individually it just bring up my ZIP file software Edited July 25, 2023 by Starwind Amada Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I import the ZIP files individually it just bring up my ZIP file software That because you are trying to use the "Full Rom Set" importer and you do not have the actual full rom set. If you are trying to import just a few roms just open your rom folder and select all 4 roms and drag and drop them into LB then follow the import wizard it opens. Keep in mind doing Mame this way, as in using only a few roms, it is best to open Mame directly and make sure you can actually run the rom files you download first then import. If you can't run them then you have a different issue to deal with. We have no idea what rom set those files came from and you may be missing needed files to run games such as bios file or other support files.
