LB does not run MAME,newb question

[Joppnl]

Hello,

new in MAME country but now I'm stuck.

When I click on Play I see a waiting round Windows circle for a moment but nothing happens next.

I.e.Frogger.    Now....It DOES work when being runned directly within MAME itself {out of LB so to say}

I checked my Emulator settings but that looks ok.

Also, when I right click on the game and say: Run with -> MAME64, same result.

Any thoughts?

Thanks

I'm fairly certain your "mame64.exe" is from an older version of MAME.  Being older is not the issue (and nothing to be concerned with). 

However, having the command-line parameter -keyboardprovider dinput would be an issue with older versions.

Edit your MAME64 emulator ('Edit/Bewerken' from screenshot above) and try removing that and see if it [now] works.

Fan-Tas-Tic,

thank you!

I would never ever have found that solution.

Yes, it's an old version of MAME (0.139) as I was told that I need that version for the roms I have.

But it's running now, thank you.

(next step: see why a lot of the games don't have artwork although I did say LB to look for it).
