Just tested those 2 games and it seems like it worked fine. On your input selections for the game, is it showing [for right joystick] "Joy 1 RSY -" (etc..) like this?:

Gmail should be fine. They're probably talking about something like mail.com

Glad to hear you got it going! Now if only I can get Kung Fu Panda to 100% on mine... ?

Just tried both versions and only needed to (change) Enable HW Hacks and check Align Sprite for the vertical lines. ...and with PAL... So I think it has to some little setting or checkbox. Or maybe there is that much difference between a 3.0 and 3.5 GHz i5.

Now you'all got me curious. I'm going to try it on my i5 3.4/6Mb/GTX960-4Gb

Your computer specs are fine (especially with the holycrap 6Gb video ) to run PS2. I'd say stick with using PCSX2. I have an i5 3.4/6Mb/GTX960-4Gb and most my PS2's run fine. Note: most What version of PCSX2 are you running? I assume (at least) 1.4.0. You can find more recent builds but they're listed as "unstable" as a disclaimer for being unofficial. I looked at Zombeavers' setups and it turns out none of what I have is on the list. (mostly my taste in games) I ended up searching the pcsx2 wiki and forums for suggested configurations. https://wiki.pcsx2.net/Main_Page https://forums.pcsx2.net/ You'll find that a lot of games are listed as "playable" which can mean 'ya, you can play 'em but they emulate poorly'. Are you experimenting across the board with just one game, or have you tried several?

In an AHK script it's: send, !{Enter} Problem is I don't know to incorporate 'after the program starts, press enter'. I think you to do something like: Run, "D:\MyFolder\MyProgram.exe" then add in something to the effect of 'if the program is running, press the Enter key then exit the script'. May try searching this site or Google.

The easiest one to get going would probably be Pinball FX. https://www.pinballfx.com/ The best free (IMO) would be Visual Pinball. https://www.vpforums.org/ Though it'll take a little setting up to do (outside of LB/BB). Another good free pinball 'emulator' (player?) is Future Pinball. https://futurepinball.com/ Like VP, there's some extracurricular setup to go through.

I have an XBox 360 controller and the official Microsoft wireless adapter and it works without a hitch. (If it helps any...) under Settings/Input/Input User 1 Blinds it looks like this: I don't think I had to do any other configuring.

Joe's rendition take-away from https://docs.mamedev.org/usingmame/aboutromsets.html using ROMS for the game 1941. A merged set will have 1 zip file containing the parent game data and all clone games data. For example "1941.zip" will contain 19 files & 3 folders. (MAME 0.201) A split sets and non-merged sets will have the parent and clone game data in separate zip files. i.e. 1941.zip, 1941j.zip, 1941r1.zip, 1941u.zip. In this case "1941.zip" contains 19 files and no folders. Look inside "1942u.zip". If it contains 19 files it part of a non-merged set . If it only contains 4 (or 5?) files, it with a split set.

Ya, I set it up quite a while ago and forgot about the FP.exe launcher (thought the name looked funny). I still get the editor window as well.

Open your 1942.zip file in explorer. How many Files are inside the zip file? Any folders? If I'm correct on this, you should have 27 files. If you do, 1942 should work. (At this point, not to confused with 1942a, 1942w, 1942p...etc).

Unless I'm behind on FP updates (which is very likely), the setup is very basic. If it doesn't seem to work, try different tables.

I just checked mine, and got the same 'missing box front' for my Wii collection as well. Remembering from an earlier post... looked at the LB folder and sure enough mine are all "-02". Renamed them to -01 and now shows accordingly.

I hadn't ran across this post before and wanted something very similar to your LMM so (just 2 days ago) I started creating an Access database that will do this. Guess I don't have to now. ? Actually the 'geek' in me still wants to just because I (think) I can.

You won't need to convert the batch file to exe just for LaunchBox. Either will work. Based on your exe file (...Launcher.exe), I assume it's a game through Steam which makes this actually an issue with Steam and not LB. However a quick search indicates there have been issues (and resolutions) for 'forcing' DOA-5 to read the ini file. I don't have the game so I don't know, but since you're getting the option to Start the game OR run Settings Configuration, it might not be reading your ini file (via its' actual location). I presume the startup screen (after the short video clip) should look like: ...in which case, passing the "Enter" key is easier than passing a mouse click. May want to look at the SteamCommunity for more.

I can see the screenshot. I see there's 2 options and the one you want want that's circled. My hanzi? or hanja? or kanja? calligraphy is pretty rusty. I'm not sure if it will help, but can you translate what the two options showing say?

1) If you launch the game straight from Windows, not through LaunchBox, do you get the annoying window anyway? 2) When the annoying window pops up, if you press the "Enter" key (instead of having to use the mouse and click that option) does it then proceed to the game?

1.7.5 is the latest stable release. But you can use this Great app by @wyzrd to update to the latest Nightly builds. Simple and easy to use. At the risk of having to completely re-setup RA, it would eliminate a potential culprit. As for your ssd (vs an hdd?), if it's older (with 'old' ssd technology) or has had a lot of use (a lot of writes) or is near capacity... it could definitely be the problem.

So now got your Mame 0.201 Non-Merged full Set safely tucked away on your backup drive. Your LaunchBox Arcade platform is all dialed in just the way you like it with only the games you want and only those files are in your "../../Games/Arcade" directory (or wherever). Maybe added some. Removed some. Perfect! That's what I thought until I found the 0.202 thru 0.205 update packs. I know ClrMamePro is (more than likely) able to apply the updates to both my backup (full) set and my LB (partial) set. And now (literally just now) that I think about it, can probably do them both at the same time (vs doing the procedure once on the LB set, then again on the full set). Oof. Anyway... My resolve was use ClrMamePro to update the backup full-set and a single command-line batch file to copy/overwrite only the files that are in the LB set and only if their dates or sizes are different. The command is "robocopy" which is built into Windows 7 and above and, of course, a variant of "copy" and "xcopy". "xcopy" has a parameter "/u" that will copy (update) only files that exist in the destination folder as well. But in my searching to see if it matters if the date stamp is older/newer, I found "robocopy". (Which for sure, the actual date/size difference is insignificant). The command line to put in your batch file is (all one line): robocopy "source_directory" "destination_directory" /LOG:"filename" /XL /R:10 /W:10 source_directory = location of your full set destination_directory = location of your LB set /XL - Copies a file from the source directory only if a file of the same name already exists in the destination (regardless if the destination file is newer or older OR different size. But does NOTHING if they are the same in both respects) (optional) /LOG:file - Writes a log file of what all it did, overwriting the file if it already exists. The file will be created in the same directory the batch file was ran. /TEE - Shows "what all it did" in the DOS window AND in the specified file in /LOG /R:n Specifies the number of retries on failed copies. (The default is 1 million.) /W:n Specifies the wait time between retries. (The default is 30 seconds.) - The last 2 are good if your copying over a network and something weird happens. - Add a "pause" on a 2nd line if you want to see the summary in the DOS (sorry. Old school. "Command Prompt") Window before it closes. - The quotes may not be required, but may save some headaches. - No trailer \ (slash) at the end of the directories. Example: robocopy "F:\Backups\MAME_0.205_Full_Set" "D:\LaunchBox\Games\Arcade" /LOG:"MameLog.txt" /TEE /XL /R:10 /W:10 pause Now that we've gotten this far, we probably could keep the Bios and Device files in the same Games directory. And the chd directories for that matter. ?

Looks almost like you have a blank right-side-only bezel setup.

Just some thoughts.. a) Look at the different platforms and see if there's a new one like "PS2" or "Sony Playstation 2" or "Playstation 2". b) Under platforms click All. Then above that search for a name of one of your new games and see if it sows up.

I don't see a 'tips section'. I just figure people would search the forums and come across this. As an update to the "..manual things that need to be done"..., I remembered reading somewhere in the LB forums about Mame Rom file placement. You can put the non-playable files/directories in a separate folder than the game files (i.e. qsound_hle.zip file and simpbowl chd folder). By default, these MUST be placed in your roms folder. But you can put them anywhere provided you tell Mame their locations. Example: Game (rom) files are here: ../Games/Arcade CHD folders are here: ../Games/Arcade/CHD Others (like qsound_hle.zip and namco54.zip) here: ../Games/Arcade/others (I'm sure there's a proper name for these "others" files. Like maybe 'support' files. But like I said... "just enough to be dangerous". ) With said items in these new sub-directories, if you update your rom set, revamp your import-filters... or whatever and do the "Take 2" procedure, you'll be a little better off. A new caveat presented is potential updates to the 'support' files and chd's. (I guess it's not new as Take-2 doesn't cover them to begin with.) "...tell Mame their locations." Since they are rom files, you'll add to your ROMs Directories. Open Mame “Configure Options” “Configure Directories” “ROMs” “Add Folder” Add the new “CHD” and “others” folders respectively. Be sure to “Save Configuration” when you’re done.

You're welcome. It's not the end-all cure-all though. There are some manual things that need to be done to make all the games work. For example CPS2 games need qsound_hle.zip (and maybe qsound.zip) copied to the roms folder in order to work. Some namco* files too for others. I'm guessing these are some of the files I mentioned in the disclaimer.
