I'm a little confused by what you're asking in terms of importing. The database isn't perfect, but if you select a mame rom or Group of mame roms that didn't import, and then drag them into launchbox, tell it to add them to mame and don't sync them to the database, then they should import just fine. You can then right click it and select "edit" and try and download any media from there.
If its too many roms to go through individually, you can delete all your mame games and reimport them all without syncing to the database. This should get them all in, then just use the tools option above to download metadata etc. I'm pretty sure you don't lose your media by doing this.

I hope it works out. Let me know how it goes. I know for a fact the above methods would work for pretty much any other system, but I can't be totally sure with mame. I'm one of those people that imported a set years ago, told launchbox to ignore like MOST of the roms and had no idea any were missing haha. I'm only slightly concerned because launchbox doesn't ignore stuff that isn't in the database for other systems, so I'm wondering just how special mame actually is.
There is one more thing you can try, Typhon. You can try importing all of your mame roms as a system NOT named either MAME or ARCADE. I'm guessing that those two system names trigger launchbox to look at some mame database that doesn't have those games in it.
I installed Mame with full set roms .201 with .chd, everything works great and artwork is all good, I know there is probably a ton of roms that were not included in lunchbox because I left all check marks for not having gambling games etc.
The question I have is there anyway to delete the roms and chd folders that are not being used with lunchbox? I have 2817 Arcade games that came out of that option, and there is probably a huge amount that did not get added. The reason I asked is my External Drive is getting close to full and I would like to get rid of the roms and chd folders that are most likely taking up a considerable amount of space, any input would be much appreciated.
I just thought of something, what about the indexing of having those roms that I don't want known to me by the lunchbox program itself, I mean it had to filter what games to install and what games not to, where can I find that indexing file? deleting things I have no clue about is VERY risky, since game roms have shortened names and such.
I bet there would be a way to figure out which bios' were associated with which roms, and launchbox could tell you that if you delete that bios the following roms will no longer work. I know it took me hours with like 3 different utilities in order to finally delete the mame stuff I would never use. That's part of the reason I haven't updated since then lol. I really never want to have to do all that crap again. But if launchbox could use it's already filtered list of games to prompt you to delete whatever isn't in your library then it could make quick work of it I would think.
Depending on the romset type you have i would warn against deleting anything, if you have a split or merged set then games that were imported may rely on files in the MAME set that were not imported as many games share files. The file used to import is the mame.xml which is in the Launchbox/Metadata folder, any game marked as working is imported.
There are three romset types for every version, Non-Merged, Merged and Split. Non-merged is the only set you can safely delete files from as every zip contains all the files needed for that game to run, including any bios files. The Merged and the Split set share files across zips to save space, hence a Non-Merged is around 115GB and the Split and Merged are around 60GB. So deleting files from a Merged or Split is risky. For example (and this is only a example) say the game 1941 was non working so you decided to delete it from a Merged or Split set, that would likely also break 1942 and 1943 as well as they are very similar games as they are the same series, and they share files so as to not bloat the size by including all needed files in each game and increasing the romset size.
I want to chime in here. A lot of people using the full Mame are also owners of an arcade machine or bartop. We need the least hardware in it because heat is an issue. I currently use a 1tb SSD and that's about what I can afford as an hard drive for my arcade. So yes definitely it's great if I could delete useless CHDs that doesn't work in Mame and other emulators. Unfortunately that makes an automated process near impossible because within each Mame release (each month) some of those games gets updated and now works. I think it's more like a live with it situation.
Also there's no chance of deleting bios files if you respect the directory structure of Launchbox which is:
Games/Mame/%roms
Emulators/Mame/roms/%bios
The RetroArch content database supports arcade romsets in Full Non-Merged and Split formats. In order to be recognized by the scanner, Full Non-Merged and Split romsets must also be processed by TorrentZip to standardize their CRC.
I thought that I could just rename it to pacman.zip and place it in the MAME roms folder and that MAME would warn me that the checksums didn't match but would then give me an option to run it anyway. It does tell me the checksums are wrong but I can't find any way to get it to ignore that and run the game anyway.
You have to run the game without the MAMEUI, in order to do that, launch your game in cmd windows, with (example) mame64 pacmanThis will give you an error if you don't have the correct cksum for the roms, but the game will start !Enjoy !Gerald (COY)
The default path for user roms changed in MAME v0.147 to ~/mame/roms, while settings are still at ~/.mame, so before changing any ini files, please first try putting a known-to-work ROM zip there and test it.
Hello, recently I started a project of a mame emulator,
downloaded a full romset, and change the name of a lot of roms (all of them zip)
and now they dont work, the emulator doesnt open it, why? how can i repair them?
If mame is running everything else should work. But here is a good place to find roms =)

I think you need to put your roms in a proper directory. Look for mame.ini file in your home directory (as far as I can remember it should be ~/.mame/mame.ini). In the file there should be a variable called rompath. Put your zip file where the rompath points to or add the location, where you have your roms.
I can see the entries for those ROM files once I started MAME (without a GUI frontend as I started MAME in xterm), but when I select any one of the ROMs, I got the same error message. The neogeo.zip file (Neo Geo ROM for MAME) is in my roms folder.
I'm a quite recent user of the Raspberry Pi and I'd like to turn it into a retro arcade machine just like I've seen on internet. I've downloaded MAME4ALL from the PiStore as well as a package of roms. I've already used an old version of M.A.M.E. on Windows and had not any problem. It was all simple just needed to change to directory of the rom file. Whereas for the Raspberry Pi, I really don't know where to put the roms. I just want to set the directory of roms to a USB stick just like I've done with Windows. How can I do that?
MAME has a configuration file that you need to edit (mame.cfg?) and tell it where you are putting things, like roms, if you don't put it in the default directories (which I have no idea what would be on Linux).
We can then install this single game into MAME by just dropping the ROM file into the roms folder inside your MAME installation location. We then run the MAME program file and we should see our game listed in the available games section. Double click it and we should get the original code version of Donkey Kong running on our PC.
The ideal situation would be where every game ROM contains all the files needed to run the game. These do exist and are generally called non merged or fully non merged romsets. As every emulator file that is needed is simply duplicated for every game that needs it these romsets can get very large. But if you want to easily get hold of a single game search around for these.
Merged sets place all the files needed for the parent game in the same romset along with all the files for each clone game. So a single file may contain a number of games, but all the files needed for each game is present in the single ROM file. Generally the whole set of games will be listed as the parent game with some front ends able to pick out individual clones through further menu settings.
Knights of Valour Plus (Bootleg) - The original Knights of Valour (kov.zip) is in English and set for 4 players, but it runs the 2 player version only, at least in my MAME .201 ...As for the bootleg, it's the same as the original with, as far as I could tell, additional new selectable characters. Knights of Valour is worth your time. It has graphics and gameplay similar to Capcom's D&D series, plus attacking enemies on the ground, a ton of special moves when you press certain buttons together and move the joystick in a certain way (not sure if it has Street fighter style moves or not, still discovering stuff), as well as a leveling system and multiple paths to take based upon how you interact with the environment. It's amazing! If someone would translate this game to English, then it would be perfect.
Knights of Valour Super Heroes - This seems to be nearly identical to the former game with different characters, again Chinese only, at least with all the roms that I tried.
Knights of Valour 2 - The sequel is more of the same eye-popping awesomeness, also with the regional flaw (i.e. not a flaw if you understand Chinese) of only being available in Chinese. 0852c4b9a8
