Unable to add roms in Launchbox!

[RetroExecutioner]

I Im trying to add some single ROMs for Arcade, but none of the games show up, so they can't be added. I downloaded the ROM game Gunforce II, but it doesn't add.

What do I have to do? The ROM I downloaded from here xxxx

Im just looking for some hidden gems that I don't have. The platform I have is MAME 0.253, if that matters.

PLEASE HELP!!!

Removed link to ROM

It should be able to show up and import without issue.  Which method are you using to import the ROM?  If you're hoping it will auto import when adding it to you /Games/Arcade/ folder, auto-import is disabled for Arcade (as well as a few other platforms).

 

Worst case scenario, you can press Crtl+N to manually add the game.  When in you Arcade platform, press Ctrl+N and type in the Title and hit enter to get the metadata. Then in the Launching section, click Browse and navigate to and select the ROM.

I tried via Tools - Import - Roms - Single Platform, I chose the rom file, then I selected platform Arcade, then emulator MAME 0.253, then chose copy file to my launchbox games folder, then next, next, and when arrive at ready to import window there is no game, 0 games, bassicaly is not see it at all to import.

CTRL-N does not even find the game, only the first Gunforce and another Gunforce for SNES, no Gunforce 2.

Run...   Tools < Download < Force Update Games Database Metadata...   Then try again.

What version of LaunchBox are you on?

I am using Launchbox 13.24. I managed to add the game with CTRL+N, but it is not starting, just a 1 sec black screen and that's it.

Is it safe to assume the other games in Arcade launch and the added ROM(s?) is in the same folder as the others?

If so, the ROM might not be compatible with your 0.253.  That is, it might be for a newer release.

You could try this plugin and see if it sheds any light.
