Dont forget to tell everyone to delete the keyboard command line i had lots of trouble before finding out that was the problem getting games to start after being added to launchbox. Not sure if everyone has this problem but it seemed to be the only thing to fix it. you need to edit the emulator after adding it goto TOOLS/Manage emulators then delete the keyboard command line for the Mame emulator and your games should start to work inside of Launchbox PS. Thanks for the great tutorials Keep up the great work RESPECT!

Anyone else find that with these settings, Launchbox does not import The Grid? The Grid is playable within MAME and is a major Midway release of a great arcade game that doesn't seem to fit any of the "skip" criteria. Makes me wonder which value being checked flagged it for skipping and what other games might be wrongly skipped.

I know this is really old but the latest LaunchBox is broken AF when trying to setup MAME. When I try to import my full MAME ROMs I point to the directory, select the Full Set Version and it tells me "The specified folder does not contain a full MAME ROM set" except it does. It's the merged version, not the split one, but that shouldn't matter right?

Mmm.... One question. I think It would be better if the cathegories were like "sub-cathegories" inside arcade, instead being showed between all the platforms. Also another idea is filtering games by genre or number of players, with the data on the DB. It would be work for all the platforms and not only Arcade (and not only the new imports...) Is it possible? Another question is if it would be possible adding bezels without rocketlauncher in a future launchbox update. Thank you very much!!
@UnbrokenSoftwareLLC6 жыл бұрын
They do show up under the Arcade platform category. Platform-specific genres and such are something that we have in mind for future releases, though getting good metadata for it might be a challenge in some situations. Bezels for emulators that don't support them is something that would be quite a nightmare to tackle, so it may happen, but probably not for a very long time.

The full set importer will still work great, but it will act like you have a 0.201 set. That's honestly not a big deal because it just means that there's a few extra games that work in 0.201 that won't work with your current set. The nice thing about the new importer is that you can use it and get the latest games, and just update your set later.

Great video. I have two questions though: Do you need to delete and repeat this operation anytime a new full set is out or can you just put the new roms of the newer set in order to LaunchBox to detect it and download the artwork and other extras? Does the Chds are automatically detected as games when they are in the roms folder like in MAME or do you need to do something else?
@azuravian6 жыл бұрын
I can answer the second question. Since this is still using MAME to actually run the game, the CHDs will be detected by MAME as long as they are in the correctly named folder. I also am wondering about the first question, though. I updated my Split MAME Romset every month and would hate to have to scrape art all over again each time.
@UnbrokenSoftwareLLC6 жыл бұрын
It's recommended to do a full re-import if possible now that we have the new full set importer. However, we'll be updating the MAME data that is included (it comes from the games database metadata that is downloaded) shortly after each MAME release. Then you can re-run the full set importer to pick up any new games without have to remove your old stuff. The only thing that the full-set importer won't do is remove any games that were removed from MAME.
@GuiltyFighterX6 жыл бұрын
Gregory Booth Thanks, but does DropBox download (and displays) the artwork for the CHDs though? Have you tried it yet? And for the other part I am in the same page as you. I can download monthly either only the new version’s roms or the entire non merged (my favorite way) romset. So it is very important to know if you need to repeat the process every time.
@azuravian6 жыл бұрын
In my experience, every CHD has a .zip rom file associated with it. Launchbox should recognize the .zip rom file and should download whatever artwork it has in the database for that game. The CHD is just a larger chunk of data that the game uses. I just tested with Area51 which has a .zip file called "area51.zip". It also has a folder called "area51" in the ROMS folder with a CHD inside called "area51.chd". Although launchbox is only aware of the .zip file, it still downloads the art and the game loads in MAME with no issues.

Awesome vid! Question please: if I delete arcade and reimport a fresh mame set as in this vid, will the play count, ratings, favorites etc be retained? And will it recycle the artwork already there or re-DL all of it? Thank you. Been rocking 0.182 for almost 2 yrs, might be time to update with this great new tool. Excited about playlists by genre etc.! LB just keeps improving!

If you remove your games, you will unfortunately lose the metadata attached to them. However, you won't lose any existing media (images and videos). If you're concerned with keeping your metadata, you can still run the full-set importer and it will pick up anything that it finds missing. It's not the cleanest option, but it does work if you need to keep your existing games.

@@UnbrokenSoftwareLLC thanks taking the time to answer, great info. I could always take screenshots of LB before deleting, use them to piece the metadata back together on the new set if I felt like it. It's really only ratings, favorites & play counts... Thanks again!

Can you have your emulator (platform) and your roms folder in different locations and not inside the main MAME folder?
@FermentedGrumpyGrapeSqueezit3 жыл бұрын
Yes you have to point mame and launchbox to the roms location and edit the mame.ini file to the proper rom location

This looks very promising, lets say I want to import two different versions of mame? And would it keep my HLSL settings intact?
@UnbrokenSoftwareLLC6 жыл бұрын
The full set importer just imports a full set of the latest version of MAME; that's it. If you're looking to do previous versions and such you might want to stick with the regular ROM importer. HLSL settings would be in MAME itself, so that is outside the realm of LaunchBox.

Is it safe to say that archive.org is the place to get the MAME 201 full set? Or just search google? Also, is there any downside to using an older full romset and corresponding older version of MAME? Thanks for the tutorial ETA!

I agree. Couldn't find it either. Not even in a Google search. "MAME 0.201ROMs (split)". I already have about 20% of the roms he has and most of them are very old. Not going to download one rom at a time. There are well over 24k roms available now.

I'm using 0.199 Mame today... I want to upgrade to use the new features/playlists. I have some customizations to mame.ini, etc.. Is there a different process? Do I upgrade mame first - then follow your steps? I hate breaking everything.. Great videos
@UnbrokenSoftwareLLC6 жыл бұрын
The new importer will work just fine with MAME 0.199, but there might be some games added that don't actually work with 0.199. So you can chose to keep 0.199 if you want. Otherwise, you can grab the newest MAME and copy over the configuration; however, you may lose some things like save states and such. I'm not aware of a way to keep those with a MAME upgrade.

I'm in the process of doing the full metadata refresh in my cabinet now. It appears that is the first step if you have pre-existing mame. I'm letting it do everything.. so its taking hours.. I'll rebuild playlists next and see how it all goes.. To be clear - do I leave my roms in place? or MUST I upgrade to 0.201 ROMS for the new importer to work? In which case - I'll just update Mame too.. thanks
@UnbrokenSoftwareLLC6 жыл бұрын
If you run the full-set importer and keep your old version of MAME, then there will be a small handful of games that were added to the latest version of MAME that will appear in your collection but won't work. That's the only issue with not updating MAME. But you can update MAME at any time and you won't have to re-import.

Hey there, this is a great feature and i followed the video installing my Mame .209 full set. The problem is that i only have Pacman in the combo cabinet with Ms. Pacman and Galaga. I want the original Midway version, which is a clone of Puckman. I have Puckman, but not any of the Pacmans were loaded. I know there'a a ton of clones but i do want the Hearts version, the hard midway version, etc. I can play them when i load Mame separate outside of LB. How do I get these loaded into Launchbox with out redoing everything? Is there a quick way? Which options should i change if i rerun Mame full set importer? Thanks in advance
