an0thernumber Posted August 11 Share Posted August 11 Hi everyone! I am a romset for mame and for the most part it works fine. I noticed that Cadillacs and Dinosaurs wouldn't launch. I also noticed that Dungeons & Dragons Tower of Doom won't either. I opened MAME and both those games run fine there. I did notice that the Cadillacs and Dinosaurs ROM file in Lunchbox is "dinou.zip" but that doesn't exist in my room folder. This is also a merged set so I am thinking maybe there is some mapping going on in Launchbox to point it to the right location. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is also a merged set so I am thinking maybe there is some mapping going on in Launchbox to point it to the right location. The point of a merged set is just that, that the files for different versions of the same game are "merged" into the one file (likely just called "dino" if the USA rom is "dinou"). Sounds like you dont have a correct romset if a version is missing, or you are using the wrong version romset with the wrong version of the emulator maybe? The way Launchbox works is it doesnt pass the physical rom to mame, it tells mame the file name and mame finds the rom itself. Where are your roms actually stored, and what does your commandline for mame look like in Launchbox? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
an0thernumber Posted August 11 Author Share Posted August 11 My roms are stored on a different drive than where Launchbox installed Mame. I went into Mame and configured the folders to point there. I haven't touched the command line so that is default. It confuses me that it will launch when running Mame but when I select the same game in Launchbox it just loads a black screen and exits Mame.
