BigBox and Merged ROM Sets

[hhcasey]

My preference is merged sets.

When starting Berzerk in Launchbox, I have the option of choosing which version to use. The most current ROM version RC31A doesn't work with my MAME 0.271 but version RC31A runs fine.

Is there a way to set a default for a particular ROM version in Bigbox when using merged sets?

In LaunchBox you can edit the game and in the Additional Apps section, select the version you want as default and [at the bottom right] click Make Default.  This will make it default for BigBox as well.

As an aside, in BigBox when you select a game and go into the Game Details screen, you can select the option Additional Apps/Version and from there select the version you want to play.  (This assumes you don't have Skip Game Details Screen turned off)

I don't want to change the version of MAME, I want to be able to right click on the ROM, choose Play Version and make one of those ROMs the default.

In that case, in LaunchBox, Edit the game you want to change the default version to be played when you click Play.  When editing that game, go to the Additional Apps section [for that game].  There you'll see the different versions of that game.  [Single-]click on the games' version you want to set as default.  On that same screen, click Make Default [located on the bottom right of that screen].  Click OK to save and close the edit window.  Now when you click Play, that version you selected previously and had clicked Make Default for is the version that will be launched.
