Thanks a bunch, man. Always wanted to install MAME but it looked a bit daunting. It took me almost a week to download the full rom set (and I could only find version 0.232) but eventually it all worked out. Now I have around thirty thousand games in my PC. What's a bummer is that not all games could find images for their big boxes, but I'll get around to that sometime. Again, thank you very much, you were very kind with your time in order to teach us the steps.

I have tried almost all console emulation but i haven't tried mame because i felt intimidated by how hard it is to set it up. Thanks for this guide, I will try it.

[bluekraken]

This is my go to channel for emulation.

[MattAkiyama]

This is just the video I needed! I didn't know what to do about running arcade games on PC or what frontend to use. I'll def be giving this a try

[dot-matrix]

This is a fantastic guide. Worked perfectly. Thank you so much! I have struggled with this for many many years. Finally an easy solution that actually works!

If you're using MAME in Retroarch you'll need Finalburn Neo, MAME 2016, and MAME 2003. Not all the roms set will work with just one, you need to see which one doesn't launch and switch them accordingly. You can also setup Launchbox for these 3 category, only roms that works with 2003, 2016 and Finalburn.

There's a launchbox YouTube channel and the narrator sounds just like ETA Prime. Worth checking out

[Wolvie]

Good grief Launchbox just earned a forever license, this is amazing!

[yoonvsaechao]

Would really love to see you make a video on retrobat one of these days!

[mouritzkruger]

This is amazing, changed my old laptop into an arcade machine now. Just want to see a video on setting up a controller for LaunchBox

[clintoncox]

ETA Prime is such a BADASS💪🏻! THANK YOU SO MUCH for all of your help!

[RobSanders]

Been forever since I launched the program. Purchased license way back when and used it for a bit. Newer versions seem to have ton of new features. Will be setting up a fresh install this week after seeing this video!

[Hansch]

Great tutorial! 👍 Launchbox is amazing. I bought the premium version a couple of weeks ago.

[Redant]

Thank you, just ordered a Beelink SER3  and getting it on Saturday will be doing this this weekend.

Looks nice, thank you. Some sincere questions though. Even though this is by far the easiest rom import setup I have seen,
1) How do I prevent automatic full screen? I almost always play in a window to pause and go back and to other apps
2) Controller setup! This is something where Launchbox just doesn't have a patch on openemu for mac (nothing does really as far as ease of use goes). How do I set up my controller, including analog for driving games?
3) How do I access game rom settings, for example with neogeo i should be able to have control over difficulty level, lives, etc. This is really easy in RA with FBN.
Thanks very much in advance!

I've been addicted to your channel for weeks now. I'm a huge retro gamer fan and my era was the Atari 5200-7800, but my true passion are arcade games. This is perfect! Thank you! However, I can't get SNK Neo Geo games to work. I'm a programmer and I have no problem cracking open files and folders and modifying as needed, but there are no tutorials or helps files on Neo Geo in Launchbox. Any ideas where I should look?

[vaanvanadiel]

MAME is the most confused emulator I have ever used.
The UI doesn't look friendly for users at all.
Instead, I use FB Alpha which is more easier to play Arcade games on PC.

[noface]

Anyone know if the issue with downloading media for similarly named roms is still present? Like the confusion between Double Dragon the original arcade game and Double Dragon for the Neo Geo? It seems like Launchbox has a hard time distinguishing the two games so I always get their media mixed up.

[Hugocraft]

Part 2 would be the basic setup for big box and how to get in and out of games without a mouse and keyboard :)
