Game launcher question

[creatine28]

I've been trying to get Game Launcher to work, but I haven't had any luck.  When I try to run mame scan to get the .rom .map files, nothing generates in the files?  Can someone help?


Thanks!

Make sure you have the \glaunch\mame.cfg file configured properly with the proper directories.  I had the same problem twice, and this ended up being the problem both times

Had this problem for a LONG time (was tearing my heair out).  two things come to mind:

1) Make sure that the roms (.zip format) are in the directory that you say they are in.  Doesnt hurt to double and triple-check this.  I simple stupid typo and the whole thing is kaput.  Also, make sure of the CaSe of the directories.  Upper or lowercase DOES make a difference to mamescan.

2) My problem was:  My .zip files were all uppercase, and mamescan doesnt like that.  I changed them all to lowercase, and now it works like a dream.  Found a little shareware proggy called "ChangeCase" or something and it made this quite simple.

Let me know if this helps ya,

Mamescan rarely works.  This thread will answer your questions:
