I have some roms that don't work it starts up and goes back to the main screen I'm running emulator 0.252 how do I fix 

Need a bit more info. I assume you are talking about arcade roms and Mame by the 0.252 version. 

Do the games run directly in Mame without using LB?

If not that is the issue. 

Lots of possibilities on what could be wrong but we could use more details.

This sounds like you are trying to launch the game through LB. I was asking if it runs if you go to the Mame.exe and open that then select the game inside Mame's menu. Without using LB. Knowing if they run inside the emulator directly is the most important piece, because if it does not then nothing you do in LB will get it to work.

Still working with minimal info here. Its always easier for us to help if you can be more detailed in your posts. 

How did you install Mame? Manually or did you have LB do it?

How did you import the roms? Did you use the Full Set Importer or the standard Rom file importer? Do you have full Mame set or just a selection of games. A lot of variables that could cause your issue. 

Pics would help. Please provide exactly what is asked below:

 

In LB go to >Tools >Manage >Emulators and edit Mame

1. Pic of the Details tab

2. Pic of the Associated Platforms tab

Now select and Arcade game and right click on it and >Edit >Edit Metadata/Media

1. Pic of the Metadata tab

2. Pic of the Launching tab

3. Pic of the Emulation tab.

Those image do not help. I asked for specific images to be able to see how things are set up. I/We cannot help you if you are not willing to respond to what is being asked.

Please see my last post (quoted below).
