[SOLVED] launching MAME games (via launchbox --> rocketlauncher --> MAME)

[craiganderson]

Hello. I am setting up launchbox and launching all of my games/platforms via rocketlauncher (i.e. LAUNCHBOX --> ROCKETLAUNCHER --> EMULATOR). So far so good. But I have hit a roadblock with trying to launch MAME games.

For all other systems this command line works perfectly:
E:\RocketLauncher\RocketLauncher.exe -s "Atari 2600" -r
E:\RocketLauncher\RocketLauncher.exe -s "Nintendo Entertainment System" -r

but this does not work for MAME
If I add the romname at the end...all works well: (see example below)
E:\RocketLauncher\RocketLauncher.exe -s "MAME" -r "scramble" <-----works!
(but i do not feel like doing that for thousands of games )

QUESTION: Is there anyway to add the VARIABLE of the romname to the end of the command line??? For example, with EmulationStation you can do the following:
E:\RocketLauncher\RocketLauncher.exe -s "Acorn Archimedes" -r "%ROM_RAW%"
Anybody know of anything Similar for Launchbox?
(i also posted in the launchbox forum)

thanks either way

here is the answer.....from the creator of launchbox

LaunchBox is really awesome! The clean interface is a nice change of pace from HyperSpin. Where exactly do you input the command line entries to get LaunchBox to load games through rocketlauncher?

Thanks!

I have had mine setup with the standard command line like in your first pay and works fine. Not sure why it didn't on yours
