Help needed playing console games with standalone Finalburn Neo

[chavatar]

Hello, I'm trying to get Sega MD games from the FBNeo 1.0.0.2 romset using the standalone emulator to work. The romset is correct and checked. I can get all games to play from the emulator, but from Launchbox I can only get the arcade games to work (by removing file extension and folder path) . For any of the other supported systems I get the message the game is not supported (same message as launching arcade games without removing file extension and folder path)

I can get games working under Retroarch with the fb neo core, but not a huge fan and there are some roms which don't work, which work under the standalone

Any ideas? 

Cheers

Run fbneo.exe.  Click Game - Most Recent Games.  Look at one of your MD games that you played.  Look at the filename to the right of the Title.

On my test, I ran A Bug's Life using a MAME softlist ROM bugslife.zip.  What FBN shows as the filename is md_bugslife.

In LaunchBox, I edited my FinalBurn Neo emulator.  In the Associated Platforms section, I added to the Default Command-Line Parameters for my MD platform, md_%romfile%.  And [for me] it worked.

In the Details section, Remove Quotes and Remove File Extension are both [still] checked.

 

This assumes you have your ROM paths set in the emulator itself.  Which I imagine you do, because you indicated the games work directly from the emulator.
