I suggest making a new version of this video and include where to put chd files (or recommended/best practice for that) and maybe even cover the differences between split, merged, non-merged romsets etc. and why someone might want to use each. Then also include going into Mame itself and telling it where the chd files are (assuming that is a needed step to get CHD games working in Mame through Launchbox (I'm not sure if it is as I'm just about to get mine setup and haven't done it yet).

A handful of arcade games in MAME such as Metal Slug have a lot of slowdowns unless you use the option within MAME once the game is running to "overclock" the CPU. The problem is MAME does not allow you to save this setting so you have to do it every single time you start a game. My question - is there a script or some other method that once a game is loaded it would automatically set the CPU to 200% or maybe a script that you could do an easy button combination on a controller or keyboard which would trigger the system to set the CPU to 200% ?

For 3 years now I try to get my arcade to run, and finally after switching from HyperSpin/RochetLauncher to Launchbox it's so much easier. Got myslf BigBox and EmuMovies and its absolutely amazing! Thanks to your videos I got so much further than with the old setup. One big question remains. I try to get as many systems as possible to run with RetroArch since you can have amazing shaders with it. I am using the MegaBezel pack. I see, that the LaunchBox import for MAME is very well made and it just works so I want to do it this way. Is it possible to also get the amazing shaders from RetroArch for MAME? That would make the immersion perfect for MAME as well.

Just got back to setting up my gaming computer with Launchbox. Which shaders do you like from RetroArch? HyperSpin was hell compared to this.

some games such as Killer Instinct require the corresponding CHD to work. If you were only using MAME to launch games you could keep them in separate folders and set the paths within MAME settings, but for some reason that method does not work if you use LaunchBox. So for LaunchBox you need to move the CHDs over to the same folder that your ROMs are in. So for example - for the game Killer Instinct to load you would need: inside your mame rom folder - a ROM file called kinst.zip and then a folder called kinst with kinst.chd inside that folder.
2 жыл бұрын
@@SturmB As @alex mentioned. You should place the CHD-s like this: roms\kinst\kinst.chd roms\kinst.zip (my previous reply was for some reason removed) You also have to ensure, that you are using the right CHD with the right rom. For example using the .237 CHD with the .240 rom might not work on a per game basis.

While RetroArch is not recommended for Arcade games, and will break things like high score leaderboards, you can always switch the emulator for all your games after import by highlighting all your games, and using the Bulk Edit window to change which Emulator you'd like LaunchBox to use. Just make sure the RetroArch entry in LaunchBox is set up to specifically play Arcade games (by default it is not). You would probably want to set up a second RetroArch entry just for Arcade game configuration.

LaunchBox tries hard not to import the same games twice, to keep your library nice and tidy. However, you can bypass this. Import one of the sets (maybe the older one), using the ROM Import wizard, and using a different paltform name (remembering to set a scrap as value). Then choose the option to "Force importing duplicate games" and "Force using MAME metadata".

How do I add CHD roms?
@UnbrokenSoftwareLLC2 жыл бұрын
CHD files are extensions of your ROMs and should be placed inside of your ROM folder.

@@UnbrokenSoftwareLLC I have the chd files in a different folder. I set up mame with multiple rompaths, which works just fine. (standalone) I am pretty sure Launchbox had no issues before, but with the latest version it seems not possible anymore with multi rompaths. I tried your solution, I just added "Killer Instinct" chd file in the "main" ROM folder and it worked. So yes I could move my whole chd collection in my main ROM folder. 🥲

If you used the newer MAME fullset importer that was added back in January, then you will need to either add multiple paths to your MAME emulator entry inside of LaunchBox, or delete the path that's already in there. You'll notice inside of your Default Command-line Parameters for MAME, that we add '-rompath %romlocation%', this uses the path you set in LaunchBox. You could either remove this (which will then fallback to what you have set in MAME), or add to it, something like '-rompath %romlocation%;C:\Path\To\CHD\'

@@UnbrokenSoftwareLLC I see, its working if I remove '-rompath %romlocation%' line. But how do I add more rom paths %romlocation%? 😀

just add more by putting a semi-colon between your ROM paths

I import Mame romset 0.246, and it didn't show the games like KOF XI even if they are in the folder of the roms, what I have to do for launchbox can show those games?

Do you know if MAME can run that game? MAME includes more non-working games than working, so you may want to check. By default, LaunchBox filters out non-working games, and while you can change it to accept them, not sure why you would want to, as then you'd end up with a bunch of games that don't work through MAME. This is a good resource to check: adb.arcadeitalia.net/
