The MAME importer in Launchbox is using the current data (0.201) to get rom names, it is likely that the naming convention gor MAME has changed since 2003. This is possibly down top the romset you have, 0.78 is very old, as it says in the name 2003, so its a 15 year old set. Mine took 23 hrs and yes I had that same issue and had to re-import. I wonder if any of you knowledgable folks can help? I'm clearly doing something completely wrong. In fact, no matter what I hide/unhide, they are nowhere to be found. Having finally completed - and with no errors - Launchbox shows no games in the arcade tab.
I went through the various options, using the same process as ETA Prime, also adding my EmuMovies account for SnapsĪ very long time indeed (I think it took around 12 hours to grab all the videos and metadata and such). I used the new option: Import MAME arcade full set in Launchbox. I downloaded the: MAME 2003 Reference Set: MAME 0.78 ROMs, CHDs, and Samples from I have managed to set up SNES, Genesis and a few other consoles so far, but have come unstuck on MAME. I'm loving Launchbox so far, and have paid for a licence.
