Trouble importing mame rom

[trueanimus]

SInce the new mame 0.266 came out, i went and grabbed Jumbo godzilla, aka jumbogod.zip and figured i would test it out. I tried several different ways to import the game, dragging it in, import rom file etc, and because its an arcade rom, launchbox always brings up the mame full set import filter thing from when i imported my full set.  (checkboxes etc for filtering out games not supported,  unplayable in mame etc).  I unchecked everything and even tried forcing duplicate import and every time i get 0 files imported. It just refuses to import the game at all.

 

Anyone else having this problem or know any solutions?

While in the Arcade platform, go to Tools - Import - Manually Add Game

This will bring up a 'blank' game. Add the Title, and in the Launching section, browse to your jumbogod,zip file.  You can try to Search for Metadata. But you won't find anything.  Click OK to save.

Thanks guys. That worked, after a little tinkering with the import settings and details.

 

Have to say, ive used Launchbox/BigBox for about a year now and never had this happen, which honestly is amazing.

 

Great Job on the frontend and thanks for the help 😃

That game had only become available in MAME a couple days ago.  Probably just need to let the dust settle a little.    

But as always, where there's a will, there's a way.  😎
