Double check that in the Associated Platforms section, for that platform, that it's un-checked there as well.

EmuMovies has them. In which they could be uploaded there. You can put in a feature request to add Box - Full to the list of available upload image types for the LaunchBox Games Database. Example of a Box -Full image:

In LaunchBox, just Right-Click a Game in your Arcade platform and select Open MAME.

Game specific settings such as those mentioned are saved in the /cfg/ folder.

From the Windows Command Prompt mame.exe -createconfig

Do you have the corresponding .chd file for the game? Is the folder holding the CHD file in the same location as the ROM? /Games/Arcade/sf2049.zip /Games/Arcade/sf2049/sf2049.chd

Then you have several options. A few are... Change the Image Group to something else. Suggestion: Boxes View < Image Group < Boxes Add the Image Type(s) those games do have to 3D Box Priorities as I suggested above Go to Tools < Options < Media < 3D Box Priorities Create your own 3D Box images This option involves a bit of work on your part. But is an option, none-the-less.

Via the menu.. double check this is checked: View < Hide Games < Marked Hidden If it's not, the cat walked across the keyboard or you may have accidentally pressed Ctrl+Alt+H.

I suggest using the MAME troubleshooter plugin to help resolve MAME launching issues. But only do so after figuring out your [potential] MAME versioning issue.

They moved to Media Packs. LaunchBox Media Pack Feature – Version 13.21 - LaunchBox

The only one needing to be on your system is .NET Core 3.1 Runtime. No other .NET-this, .NET-that or .NET-the-other-thing is required by LaunchBox to be installed. LaunchBox does use .NET 9, but ALL required dependencies for it are included within LaunchBox itself.

In your 2nd screenshot, that's for the 3D Box Model (not to be confused with a 3D box image). The Model is what will show in the Game Details panel (which you have hidden). You can enable/disable that panel via View < Show / Hide < Game Details (Ctrl+T) Your 3rd screenshot is showing a Box-Front image but is marked as Box-3D. That shouldn't be marked that way unless you manually changed it. However, being marked as Box-3D (and you clicked OK to save it that way), it should show. (if it was recently changed to that type, you may need to Refresh the Images [again].) It looks like at least some of the other games don't have 3D boxes available to download. e.g. Looking up EA Sports FC 25 in the database, it doesn't have a Box-3D available. Neither does Deepest Chamber: Resurrection. In fact, neither does Encased: A Sci-Fi Post-Apocalyptic RPG. If you want, you can set it show the Box-Front if a Box-3D image is not available. Go to Tools < Options < Media < 3D Box Priorities. In there, check the box for Box - Front. Click OK to save and close.

It sounds like then you don't have 3D box images downloaded for those games. If you edit a game that's not showing an image and go to the Images section, is one of the images you have for it Box - 3D?

It looks like it's probably too late now, but if you run into this again in the future, you could try this: Bulk Add/Remove Additional Applications - Third-party Apps and Plugins - LaunchBox Community Forums

If all your games do have 3D boxes for them, try clicking View - Media - Refresh All Images.

Glad to hear you got it work. But am curious as to why it stopped working for you. I can't say for sure if zipped ROMs worked directly with that core before or not. But in the RA Associated Platforms sections, checking Extract ROMs has always worked for me. Maybe somehow in an update that got unchecked? The only other thing I can think of that it could be (based on your example command parameters) is that the .sfc file is not in that location [anymore?]. Note: I put the sgb2 ROM in RA's system folder (similar to your fix) because it looks nicer in the command-line parameters that way. Also note, contrary to the video, you don't need to setup another emulator in LB. Can just add NGB again and un-check Default Emulator. But yes, it does look nicer when right-clicking a game to see the Name rather than selecting RA then choosing it by core name. The above setting produces this full command line: "D:\LaunchBox\Emulators\Retroarch\retroarch.exe" -L "cores\bsnes_libretro.dll" -f "system/Super Game Boy 2 (Japan).sfc" --subsystem sgb "D:\LaunchBox\ThirdParty\7-Zip\Temp\dmg-afge-0.u1" (where "dmg-afge-0.u1" is the ROM inside "frogger.zip" which I got from MAME's software lists.)

No worries. It's just a hobby. You didn't get an email because I didn't quote you and also you're not following this post. No biggie. If you're talking from within LaunchBox, you'd either put them into their own Platform or Playlist. You could then put those into whatever Category you want. (semantics matter) ONE WAY you could attain what you're after is, with the games all already imported, go through them and add accordingly to a playlist. Creating and populate them as you so desire. (right-click a game and in that menu somewhere is Add to Playlist.) Once you have a playlist to your liking, select all the games in the playlist and press Ctrl+E to start the Bulk Edit Wizard. In there, change the Platform for those games. Now they're all in one platform and you can delete the Playlist.

Looks like that issue report has not been made "public" [yet].

You're welcome! You update those in LaunchBox via Tools < Manage < Plugins...

There is a known issue with the audio output in MAME's 0.278 release. More discussion about this can be found here: To clarify, you have 2 copies of stand-alone MAME on your PC? One you downloaded (let's say it's in D:\Temp\MAME\mame.exe), and [guessing] one LaunchBox installed for you (let's say it's in D:\LaunchBox\Emulators\MAME 0.278\mame.exe). And both are MAME release 0.278? Be sure the one in "Temp" is also 0.278. And when using the on in "Temp" directly, there are no issues? But when using the one in "Emulators" via LaunchBox, there are sound issues? Is this all correct (except for, of course, possible the actual folder locations)?

It can be. But mostly (aside from programming knowledge) time. You can always Request A Feature (above under Help & Support). Be specific. See here and remember to upvote it as deemed necessary. Feedback - LaunchBox

In short, you can't tell the version by looking at it. You might be able to compare the files' data stamps and "get close". But it's still not a for-sure thing. Though if you downloaded them in conjunction with the MAME emulator, you can open MAME and it will tell you what version "it" is (but not the ROMs specifically).

Looks like MAME doesn't break out the ZN1 and ZN2 etc. series separately. They look to all be in the source sony/zn.cpp Which if you have everything imported in Arcade, you can filter those out by doing a search for source:sony/zn.cpp But to break those out further, personally I think you're nuts. I mean.... I don't think there's an easy way, outside from doing it manually. If you can get them all broken down into a MAME formatted xml file(s), there is a MAME Custom XML Importer plugin floating around somewhere. But they have to be MAME formatted and you need to figure out how to break them out first.

Since you already have your Zinc platform imported, and those games are pointing to MAME-named-ROMs (e.g. sfex.zip) (aka: ROMs all have the exact same name. It's just that these are currently in the \...v1.9.5\roms\ folder. And the ones you want to use are in /MAME/roms/ folder), you can just change the path for the games in the Zinc platform. Click one of the games in your Zinc platforms, then press Crtl+A. That will select all (86) games. Now go to Tools < File Management < Change ROMs Folder Path for Selected Games... and point to the path to your where your MAME ROMs are located. Now... e.g. Street Fighter EX, was pointing to Emulators\ZiNCGUl Fix+Hacks v1.9.5\roms\sfex.zip and is now pointing to Emulators\MAME\roms\sfex.zip
