Branaghs Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 Hello everyone. I recently made a topic about Naomi and was able to fix that issue. Now, I am looking into my MAME .264 import and after the import nothing will open under Launchbox. Everything does load under MAME .264 by itself. I have changed the mame.ini to know where my roms are. I have changed the command lines to have and to have not options in there. My examples are -artwork_crop -skip_gameinfo -waitvsync -nofilter -keyboardprovider dinput -rompath %D:\titles.clones% and -keyboardprovider dinput In honesty, I am unsure where we tell launchbox where our MAME files are, but I don't think that is the problem. I have updated from Mame .260 to Mame .264 using the full import option and that did not work as well. I have updated my sets and whole nine yards, but nothing has worked. Any help would be great on this. Hey, here is my log. 2024-04-18 01:14:42 PM Unbroken.LaunchBox.Windows.Desktop.ViewModels.MainViewModel.window.Activated Before JoystickTimer Enabled Set 2024-04-18 01:14:42 PM

If you still want to use it for any reason the percent signs (%) would need to be double quotes ("). The percent sign is an invalid character for what you're trying to do and could potentially be the cause of your issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeViking245 Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 Are your ROMs actually located in a folder on the D drive called titles.clones? Seems an odd folder name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C-Beats Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 I'd try adding another slash to the end of your path in your ini. The path having the period in it could be throwing things off since that file path as is reads as "The file called 'title.clones' located in 'D:'" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I am having issues with cps1 2 and 3 not opening. I think my BIOS files are not being seen. Is there a place they need to be? This is a non-merged set with my bios files in bios folder under my the same games folder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would open stand-alone MAME, go to one of the CPS1 games and try to launch it. It'll tell you what the error is if it doesn't start.

Can you share some screenshots of a game's settings for one that isn't working through LaunchBox? Edit the game and show one of the Launching section and the Emulation section.

JoeViking245 Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 I was always told all required files are in the games zip file in a non-merged set. Checking one of the CPS1 games, they're not. I'd assume your titles.clones folder held a complete set, which should also have the file "qsound_hle.zip". Is that in Device file in there? Edit: I stand corrected. The file inside of qsound_hle.zip ("dl-1425.bin") is inside the CPS1 ROMs that require it [in a non-merged set]. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we can't find anything I will just bring in the full set. and see what happens from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your Game is pointing to "punisheru.zip" (the USA version) and you show the zip for "punisher.zip" (The World version). Do you have "punisheru.zip" in that folder? If not, you can try to point to the World version (in the Launching section [just remove the last "u"]) and see if that works when launching from LaunchBox.

I did not include clones when I did my filter list. I am going to re do it with clones and see if that helps. But good eye! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
