That most likely means you don't have the correct command-line parameters for the Associated Platform or one (or more) of the required checkboxes in the details section is checked/un-checked. When you have the Edit Emulator window open to the main details section, press Alt+PrintScreen. Reply to this message, put the cursor where you want the picture and press Ctrl+V. Do the same for the Associated Platforms section.

Oh, OK. So they're not "broken", removed or deleted. The image source files are still there (can click to see them. And then can click the displayed left/right chevron [arrow] to go through them). They're just not showing the physical image on the page. That's a good thing (the not deleted part). Hopefully the web development team can do something to make them physically visible, so you don't have to click each one to view them.

I suggest working on just one or the other. Or at least [please] separate your thoughts and paragraphs. Demul: I think you're saying... when you launch a game directly from the Demul UI (File - Run Naomi/Naomi2 -- select a game and press OK) it does work. But in LaunchBox, if you select a game and press Play, it does not. Is that correct? Does Demul open at all? Or do you get a black screen, then it does back to LaunchBox? If it runs in Demul but not in LaunchBox, edit your Demul emulator (in LaunchBox) and share 2 screenshots. One of the main details section. And one of the Associated Platforms section. RetroArch: "It just tells me the bios files are incorrect with every game". Are you saying it's now showing a red dot next to the required files? Can you share a screenshot of that message?

Can you share the link to the page with the [missing] images (not the videos one)? Relatively recently they did a forums server swap?/update?/reconfigure?/something-or-another-to-do-with-the-forums. Probably related to that.

Check that (when you think it). And also, is there still the same 3 options. I've never tried it otherwise, and only have the cab monitor and TV (so just 2). But when I'm going to play on the TV, I make sure it's on and ready to go before starting Big Box. I imagine you do also. The question then is, when you go to start BB, are both monitors already on ( plus the TV)? That is, do you ever have one or the other of the monitors not on when starting BB? (just thinking out loud troubleshooting thoughts)

It doesn't say it's "needed". It says it's "required". (semantics matter) And the green dot says, "File found". But you indicate it still doesn't launch, despite the apparent requirements are met. Does it work when launched directly from Demul? If so, do you have the proper command-line parameters in the Associated Platforms section for that platform? To insert a screen shot, take the screenshot with your favorite capture program. (copy the relevant area) Then here, put the cursor where you want to place it, and press Ctrl+V.

Isn't the red exclamation mark simply saying, "One of the following items are required"? And then, as you stated, all of the boxes below it have a green dot next to them. Also, if you mouse over the red exclamation mark, it'll tell you "The emulator has indicated this group is required," Mouse over the green dot next to the BIOS and it'll tell you "File found!". Red exclamation mark aside, if you go to launch one of the games, does it launch? Regarding Demul, there aren't any command-line parameters available to change the set BIOS. That's needs to be done from within the Demul UI.

Are you saying if you set the Primary Screen in Big Box to #3, it shows correctly on the TV... sometimes. And sometimes (maybe next time you turn on the computer?) it's on a different monitor (still being set to "3")? Or "for some reason" you have to set the screen to (for e.g.) #2 in Big Box to show on the TV. And it always stays on the TV?

System Menu < Options < General < Primary Screen: Screen 3 Note: what Windows sees as monitor #3 may not be what BigBox sees as #3. So try the others if 3 is "the wrong monitor".

In my 7 years on the forums, I think you are the 1st person I've ever heard say you actually looked, or better yet, were encouraged to look through the menus. Thank you! Keep it up and you'll soon find you can answer most all you're own questions. Case-in-point..... Tools < Options < General - Allow deleting ROMs If your MAME set is Merged or Split, it's strongly suggested you don't allow that. With a non-merged set (strongly suggested to use [for many reasons]), there won't be any issues. Conversely, if "you know MAME", knock yourself out. Tools < Options < Media < Box Front Priorities There you can set what fallbacks you want and in what order to look.

Follow up: Using my [LaunchBox] process, I noticed Frogger didn't get a bezel. It appears... I imported the MAME file (frogger.zip). The game imported into LB just fine (images etc.). But even Tools - Download - Metadata and Media wouldn't grab a bezel for it. I renamed [just] the file to Frogger.zip. It then downloaded the bezel file. So, it seems there's something to be said about "proper" file naming conventions. (uppercase filename vs lowercase)

The only thing I can help with is sharing my process. My test: Installed a fresh copy of LaunchBox 13.22 Closed the initial Add Games popup I don't think Download Bezels options popup via this wizard (could be wrong) Though they can always be added later via Download - Metadata and Media Tools - Manage - Emulators - Add RetroArch - Download OK - Close Tools - Import - ROM Files - Single Platform selected my Atari 2600 folder, followed default prompts Checked Download Bezels (selected default Theme Bezels) finished the process to import Selected Adventures of Tron and clicked Play. The only thing in RetroArch I did go in and manually change was Settings - Input - and set Confirm Quit to Off. Otherwise, nothing in RA was changed/setup/modified/etc. The bezels are found in \LaunchBox\Emulators\RetroArch\overlays\GameBezels\Atari2600\[.png and .cfg files]

Not necessarily true. If you have LaunchBox install RetroArch for you and then have it (LaunchBox) download and install the bezels for the particular console, you should be good-to-go, without issue.

Hmmm... I'm just going to grasp at straws here because I honestly have no idea. Don't ever play lightgun games. So, the mouse is only inactive when over the active emulators window. In the emulator settings (in LaunchBox) under Startup Screen, can you check the box Hide Mouse Cursor During Game and have that do anything? Or does that also hide the crosshairs? The plugin doesn't touch anything mouse related. Seems odd that nomousy is not keeping it hidden.

Select a game, then press Ctrl+A (to select all games in that platform). Then Tools < Download < Update Metadata and Media for Selected Games... Sticking with MAME (Arcade), I suggest selecting Advertisement Flyer - Front in leu of Box-Front as arcade cabinets weren't shipped in 'boxes'. Crates, yeah. Videos and Manuals only come from EmuMovies. The LaunchBox Database doesn't have those. When you purchase you LB license, I believe they also provide a discount code for an EmuMovies subscription (which is required for downloading from within LB). Again, sticking with MAME, yes. It's easiest to manage if your emulator(s) are installed in /LaunchBox/Emulators/. Then it's just a matter of moving the /LaunchBox/ folder. Some emulators, by default are not portable. They'll store some of their data in your C:\Users\JoeViking\AppData\emu_name\ folder. (there, or in \Documents\, or somewhere else). But most can be made "portable" so their data is stored within the emulators folder. Varies by emulator. Regarding bezels for other consoles that should have them, that will be console specific. (aka need more info) But that's all outside of my wheelhouse. So the "more info" would be for someone else. 😁

The log doesn't indicate you launched klax. Or any other Arcade game for that matter. It does however indicate you don't have Cloud Sync enabled (or setup?). From: Tools < Options < Integrations < MAME (On my test PC, I don't upload scores. But the "Upload your MAME high scores..." checkbox should [also] be checked.)

As in, you pressed Win+R and then entered D:\All-in-One\Emulators\DemulShooter\DemulShooter.exe and it did NOT launch? If so, good. Then it's not the script. Assuming that's absolutely the correct path, if it doesn't work from there, it won't work anywhere. What happens when you run D:\All-in-One\Emulators\DemulShooter\DemulShooter.exe from the Window command prompt? Or better yet, the whole command you're trying to get working. Doing this (or these) will at least (or 'should') output something in the window. Good, bad or indifferent.

After setting the theme to NESICA 2020, you may need to refresh the image cache in Big Box. System Menu < Options < Image Cache < Refresh All Images

Check your full DemulShooter path. First post it was in "D:\All-in-One\Emulators\". The 2nd post shows just in the root D drive. Then go ahead and put the executable filename in with the variable (a little cleaner to see and work with). (see below) Oh.... and check your -rom= argument. "vgs" vs. the games .xbe rom, "vsg". demulshooterPath := "D:\All-in-One\Emulators\DemulShooter\DemulShooter.exe" cxbxPath := "D:\All-in-One\Emulators\Sega Chihiro\cxbx.exe" xbeFile := "D:\All-in-One\LaunchBox\Games\Sega Chihiro\GS\vsg.xbe" Run, %demulshooterPath% -target=chihiro -rom=vgs,,Hide Sleep, 2000 Run, "%cxbxPath%" "%xbeFile%",,Hide $Esc:: Process, Close, DemulShooter.exe WinClose, ahk_exe cxbx.exe ExitApp return (I don't run either of these, so forgive my ignorance), you said the game launches, but you have the ,,Hide parameter on that particular Run line. Seems odd, but if it works, it works. I added quotes around the %cxbxPath% variable because of the space between "Sega Chihiro". I'm kind of surprised it launched that way. For the Escape sequence, if you ever have issues with it, add a $ in front of it (as shown above). Which is not a bad thing to do anyway. Lastly, Process, Close is a pretty drastic way to close down an app. It's sort of like unplugging the computer to "shut it down". NOT recommended. DemulShooter may require this more forceful approach. But [at least] for cxbx, I suggest using WinClose, ahk_exe cxbx.exe instead. (reflected above)
