Times Played info remains even after fresh install?

How do I completely wipe all configs etc from Launchbox Mame? I tried deleting the arcade file in the Launchbox/Data folder - no cigar.

I would really like to kill all configs for every game i tinkered with in the Mame settings too - as the great looking Mr RetroLust bezels I downloaded are also messed up on the ones i tried to work on - Boothill I am looking at you.. 

Will even happily fully uninstall Mame if a method exists, so I can start afresh

Any help much appreciated

Spent another hour or so - vertical game bezels now seem fine - however any bezel for a 16:9 landscape aspect ratio game is zoomed in and cuts the bezel edges off - Surely this must be a setting I can change, to display the screen to the bezel size and not the gameplay screen size, any help much apreciated

Edit your MAME emulator in LaunchBox.  If the Default Command-line Parameters has -artwork_crop in it, remove that part.

Thanks for the reply. I had previously seen this in Mame.ini and changed the trigger to both 0 and 1 - neither made any difference. I went back in and completely deleted the line suggested.

My ini file now looks like this:

#
# CORE ARTWORK OPTIONS
#
fallback_artwork          
override_artwork          

#

However when I launch Mame through Launchbox it still is resizing to the play area and not the bezel. I am still getting cut off bezels which are especially noticeable in the landscape orientated games.

I have attached the mame.ini file from my Launchbox/emulators/Mame 0.265 file location - is there anything else that I need to amend as it sure is still butchering the lovely Lights Out bezels (one thing not made clear when I added the artwork and ini files was the location where the "Lights Out Bezels Revisited" config file should be located. I extracted the file from the "folder" folder and pasted into the Mame Root folder, was this correct or should it stay in a folder called "folder". and if so where?

I am still stumped, any other ideas I can try?

I was referring to your MAME emulator settings in LaunchBox itself.  (Tools - Manage - Emulators - [select MAME] - Edit) 

No matter how you have things set in mame.ini, if you pass a parameter(s) via the command-line, it will take precedence over what's in any of the MAME configuration files.

Glad that solved it.  Just passing along what I've learned on the forums.  That one I learned from @C-Beats.  Credit to where credit is due.
