I have the settings like so in the mame.ini
rompath "roms;e:\Romvault MAME\RomRoot\MAME CHDs (merged);e:\Romvault MAME\RomRoot\MAME ROMs (split)"
and when I try to start a chd game like Killer Instinct it gies black and then back to the launchbox menu. Normal roms are running fine. What do I do wrong here?
Did you remove -rompath %romlocation% from the command-line parameters? (Tools-Manage Emulators-Edit [MAME])

is there a way to have the roms and chds in different folder and not everything in one?
Assuming you're referring to MAME, yes. (be sure to read the entire post)

but the trigger and buttons on the gun don't seem map. When its in Lightgun, I don't seem to see the controller options to map Trigger etc like I do when its set to Joystick
The lightgun I believe should be being seen as a mouse. When mapping the trigger and buttons (aka left/middle/right clicks) try pointing the gun at the screen when pressing them. Specific lightgun & emulator software pending, if you're not aiming the screen, the gun thinks you are shooting offscreen and uses different modes. Depending on what you selected in the lightguns' software settings.

So far the only systems that show achievements now are:
Would it have been easier to list the ones that don't show achievements?

tldr: But here's a how-to guide that Faeran wrote about 2 months ago.
Big Box Navigation Sounds - LaunchBox
QuoteThis guide explains what Big Box navigation sounds are, how to use and customize them, how themes interact with them, and the deeper rules Big Box follows when deciding which sound to play.

Speaking of votes...
There're several posts on the Feedback page specific to the Games Database that, it not already, everyone may want to look at and upvote accordingly. -

Think it was a caching issue that all 3 had to be removed to clear?
No. There was a "glitch in the Matrix" that the developers were able to quickly resolve (thanks for bringing it up, BTW).
But the final part of the fix (in this case) required us to remove those folders as mentioned [so LB could rebuild them].

Good to know it is not local to just me. I can deal with manual updating emulators. I just needed to know.
Fixed(ish).
- Close LaunchBox
- Navigate to you /LaunchBox/Plugins/ folder
-
Delete the following folders:
- Dolphin LaunchBox Integration
- PCSX2 LaunchBox Integration
- RetroArch LaunchBox Integration
- (Re)start LaunchBox

Can anyone think of anything else to try? This feels like 3 broken plugins to me.
I'm seeing the same issue with those 3 updates.
For now, I suggest leaving the 3 emulators alone. If you know of and feel you have to update one of them, do it manually. You know, the old-fashioned way.

"None" is for a list of games that do not have an associate platform.
"Exists" is for a list of games that do have an associate platform.
"All" is for a list of all games, regardless of platform association.

Correct. Currently it's scan all platforms, or one-by-one.

Thanks Christian, for not only all you've done for the LaunchBox apps and the Community, but for your never relenting help to me and my exhaustive plugin programming questions. You have always been and continue to be greatly appreciated!
I wish you all the best! Be well and talk soon.

The RefreshData method words for game badges, but it steals focus away from the game list. I'm guessing there's no proper way to use the API to return focus to it?
RefreshData is essentially upating the whole UI contents and I don't believe there's a way to set focus via the API.

I am not using custom display settings, or errant parameters, and I only have one copy of FBNeo on my PC.
Good. Process of elimination, step #1 complete.
Typically, the box Remove Quotes would get unchecked as well (just like MAME). Though with fbneo64.exe, it does work either way (not sure if it does for MAME).
Try: Change your Blitter to DirectX9.

We need to add this request to the Launchbox game database so we can start adding all the images and media.
To make an "official" request, at the top of this page click Help & support and select Request a Feature.
That way it'll get 'logged' to-be-looked-into. vs. "Hey! That's a great request! I'll have to remember to look into that. [time passes...] What was I supposed to look into? Maybe if I look through the myriad of posts I'll remember. Now... was that on the forums? Discord? Facebook? X?..." etc. etc.
After the post becomes public, be sure to post a link to it here so others that come across this can go and upvote it.

Just a thought, though ffmpeg is super lightweight, instead of downloading it if it's not existing, make direct use of the one located in \LaunchBox\ThirdParty\FFMPEG\.

Tools < Import < Manually Add Game...
Ctrl+N
Right-click anywhere in the main (middle) section and select Add
Tools < Import < ROM Files < Single Platform, then select Add Files and navigate to the file.

Are you setting a custom display setting? vs. say using 1280x920? Do you have any default command-line parameters set that are forcing the display mode setting? Or possibly an errant parameter? In the emulators settings (in LaunchBox) or in the Associated Platforms section? Can you share a screenshot of the command-line parameters you've set in LB (in the main Details section and the Associated Platforms section).
When testing outside of LaunchBox, any chance you're testing on a different FBNeo build? e.g. you have it installed in 2 locations and you're testing stand-alone on one and LB is pointing to the exe on "the other" install.

However, if I boot up Ape Escape: On The Loose from that screenshot you can see this is the correct hash and is detected by Retroarch and RetroAchievements appropriately
I forgot to add one more link to look into.

Unfortunately, no feedback. The only way to see it marked is to select a different game and then come back. Any ideas on that?

Is this a known limitation of LaunchBox that is mentioned anywhere for users to know
I don't do achievements myself so can't speak to any specifics. But these articles may lend to some insight.

If I install Autohotkey 2.0 does that screw up the autohotkey 1.0 code I have in launchbox?
I personally recommend sticking with v1. For what it's used for in LaunchBox, you don't gain any functionality with v2. Also, sticking with v1, you can make use of the exe located in the ThirdParty folder, keeping LaunchBox truly portable. Along with easily making 'your' scripts usable by all users (e.g. negating the need to have AHK installed on your system).
My opinion™.

Maybe an issue with loading .bat files I cant tell. Works perfectly from command line fails from launchbox and hangs at the loading screen.
Unless this was working for you in a previous LaunchBox version, this is not a beta issue.

Since you're executing a batch file, may need set hide console window to true. (guessing)
RetroArch and RS3 Reaper Lightgun Controls
in Emulation
Posted
It's more of an emulator setup issue than a frontend issue.
The emulators I use with my Gun4IR are Demul, Flycast, Model2 (emulator.exe) and [standalone] MAME. I don't use TeknoParrot, but do have a couple games using JConfig. Then alongside these, I use DemulShooter (where applicable), LUA scripts for MAME and QMamehook.
