The error you neglected to tell us even what it was is possibly telling you that you can't set the same hotkey more than once. Try combing those actions under one hotkey assignment.

Success!!! (well, 90%. ) Testing mine, without -f, it does not go fullscreen. With -f, it does go fullscreen. (same 16:9) Check the emulator is up to date. Tools - Manage - Emulators. Wait and look for a check mark. If it's an icon of a cloud and a down arrow, there's an update available. (edit it and click the Update button). Looks great! You can remove that script now. (otherwise, each time you launch RA [from any platform], it will add to that file.) There's probably a way to set (force) fullscreen in the emulator itself. Google should be able to help with that. TBH, I'm not really even an RA guy. I set mine up several (5+?) years ago and have only done the occasional updates. So, working "inside of it" is beyond my expertise.

np And you did check one (or more) of the game's ROM path (application path to the games actual ROM)? From the secret vault: Let's see what LaunchBox is attempting to execute to get it to launch (or not launch in your case) the game(s). (In LaunchBox) Edit your RetroArch emulator In the Running Script section, copy and paste the AHK code below, into it Click OK to save and close Launch an N64 game (FAIL) All methods follow the same path. Click Play. Double-click. Right-click.... In Windows Explorer, go to your /LaunchBox/Plugins/ folder Look for and open CommandLine_RA.txt Share what's in there queryEnum := ComObjGet("winmgmts:").ExecQuery("" . "Select * from Win32_Process where caption='retroarch.exe'")._NewEnum() While queryEnum[proc] { t .= proc.CommandLine "`n`n" FileAppend, % t, .\Plugins\CommandLine_RA.txt }

Other than the Extract ROMs under Associated Platforms being un-checked, the only thing I see different from yours and mine is, I also have Extract ROMs in the main Details section un-checked. But that shouldn't matter because whatever's in the Associated platforms section should override that. As for the underscore missing in the right-click menu, mine shows the same. Oh, and the games do launch for me. Beyond unchecking the 2nd mentioned checkbox, the only other thing I think it could be is your games' Application Paths. Edit one of the N64 games and look in the Launching section at the ROM File and confirm the path and file are correct. I suppose while there, look in the Emulation section and confirm Use an emulator is checked, RetroArch is the chosen emulator and Use Custom Command-line Parameters is un-checked. That, coupled with you having RA set as the default emulator for the platform, you should be able to just click Play in the game details panel (vs having to right-click).

Good. Try un-checking Extract ROMs in the Associated Platforms section.

Correct. Literally as it's shown in green text.

The error indicates something is up with your license file. Email `support@unbrokensoftware.com` and they can sort it out for you.

You're quite welcome. It's a wonder that any (if any) of your previous requests made it through. jk They say that learning and doing something new each day is good for you. 😎

Like @C-Beats, I don't recall how the MAME installer was actually set up (compared to other less 'odd' or unique emulators). But with other emulators, when you see a message similar to that, it will also ask if you want "us" to install it. That aside.... Since you have your 30-40 classic Arcade games added to your LaunchBox collection already, at this point I'd suggest: Go to Tools - Manage - Emulators and click Add Type in "MAME" for the Emulator Name and it will auto-populate most of the settings At the right-end of the Name field will be an icon that is a link to the MAME download site. Click it. If your MAME ROMs are from the current 0.281 release, download the mame0281b_x64.exe file If your ROMs are from an earlier release, at the top of that page, click Downloads and select Previous Releases Scroll down to where you see the release number that matches your ROMs Click the file under Binary (Windows) for that release Once downloaded, run the executable from Windows Explorer If you get a Windows protected your PC popup, click More Info and then click Run anyway I recommend extracting it to your /LaunchBox/Emulators/ folder e.g. Choose: D:\LaunchBox\Emulators\MAME\ Be sure to add MAME on the end of the path Once finished extracting, back in your Edit Emulator window To the right of Application Path, click Browse and navigate to the folder you extracted MAME to and select "mame.exe" Right below Default Command-line Parameters, add to the end of what's there (if it's not there already), -rompath %romlocation% e.g. -keyboardprovider dinput -rompath %romlocation% Click on the Associated Platforms label and make sure Default Emulator is checked on the Arcade line. Click OK to save and close the Edit window.

👍 That's the "official" place for all requests. It gets electronically documented and logged. Forum and [especially] Discord posts tend to get "lost in the shuffle". Admin doesn't have to rewrite or copy/paste from here and "add it to the books".

Top of this page, under Help & Support, select Request a Feature. Once on that page, on the right side under Boards, click LaunchBox Games Database. Then click Create A New Post. Enter in your request.

To clarify, the N64 ROMs do work directly in RetroArch? If so, can you edit you RetroArch emulator (in LaunchBox) and share a screenshot of the main Details section and of the Associated Platforms section (with the Nintendo 64 platform showing).

Most, if not all imported Steam games should have a direct link to the game's web page in with its metadata. When it is there, it will show in the game's details panel. Mouse-over the Steam icon to see "Steam Store". Click it to open your web browser to that associated page. The page it opens will show the system requirements. At least it did on this game. Note the other possible cool links available that are directly related to the specific game. (LaunchBox Games Database, Wiki, YouTube) Also note you can add your own custom links. Shown in this example screenshot, I've added a link to IGN's Walkthrough page for the game. "recommended" is going to be subjective. But you can see community users' ratings for the game at the top of the game details panel. Though I don't think it's what you meant, there is also a section for recommended games based on the selected game.

To clarify, for Wii U, is there no startup screen then? It you switch startup screens, does one then appear for Wii U? If not, check that startup screens are not disabled for the emulator. If it's only certain games in the Wii U platform that don't show it, they may have an override set, disabling them.

Under Tools < Manage < Plugins... Select the MAME Integration plugin and click Update. This will download the updated plugin and restart LaunchBox after clicking Close. Doing that will fix the error. @DMas @Madman_DE @AnAngryWabbit

Can you break down "some occasions" a little? Does the Default Startup Theme show on games in a certain platform? Do you have any other .xaml files in with your \Stagebox\ folder (ither than Defaul.xaml and Default Shutdown.xaml)?

Sorry, I do not. Just seems odd they're showing in Big Box (though lagging in updating) and showing "No Achievements" in LaunchBox. At this point, you can wait and see if one of the LB Team is able to respond here sometime this week, and/or submit a bug report (top of this page under Help & Support) and wait to hear something back form there.

The issue has been internally resolved. On your end, you will 1st need to force update your local database. Go to Tools < Download and select Force Update Games Database Metadata... Once done, you can undo any temporary fixes put in place and get back to enjoying your collection. 😎 @torgojones @Spydey @kb72 @Gaming.Zone

The login should be the same credentials as here.

lol Sounds almost like a quote from "Airplane". Nah, minor thing and a quick and easy [temp] fix.

Make the request official by submitting a Feature Request on the Feature Request page. (top of this page under Help & Support) When you do and it's made public, be sure to post a link here for other to go to and upvote it. Not sure what theme you're using on your pincab as there's nary a handful of vertical Big Box themes available.

Please see this post for details and a temporary fix:

Update: LaunchBox staff have narrowed this down to a possible ill-entered entry in the database. A "Date" more specifically in one (or more) of the games. (If you so desire) you can (re)enable the Possible Ports, Recommended Games and Similar Games under Tools < Options < Visuals < Game Details. The [temporary] updated fix is to un-check Include games not in my library under Tools < Options < Related Games for each of the 3 subsets. Similar Games, Recommended Games and Possible Ports. Thanks for your patience and understanding.

Try.... under Tools < Options < Visuals < Game Details, un-check: Possible Ports Recommended Games Similar Games
