Amoo

From the outside looking in I thought emulators for older systems would be fairly complete and static. Good to know, thanks for the info.

Thanks for the info. I hoped that there were definitive emulators for compatibility that wouldn't change that often. Heck maybe the ones that come up in Launchbox are fine still. I will look the info you linked and use it as my guide. Thank you.

Sorry to revive a dead thread, but I have a similar question. I was wondering if there is a way to find out which Retroarch cores are best for compatibility. I was installing the cores listed in Launchbox and realized one of the recommended cores was software emulation vs another version which used hardware emulation (which is what I would want). I am running it on an i7 7700 with a 1050Ti so hardware isn't an issue for the games I want to play (No PS3/XBox 360 or Wii U games). Any idea if there is a list of cores recommended for compatibility? Thanks.

Are there good CHD collections for the most popular arcade MAME games? I would like to get NFL Blitz and a few other games working. Is there a good way to do this or does it have to be done individually per game and do the CHD files just go in the LaunchBox CHD file? Thanks for the help.

I rebuilt LaunchBox from another hard drive (from which I had originally created this from, for an arcade machine) and I didn't use any files from the old version that didn't have anything in the Playlist View in BigBox AND I now have Daphne and Naomi again multiple times, but no other playlists that are in LaunchBox. I am updating metadata and will take a closer look at it to see if it is just the clear logos/videos populating incorrectly or if BigBox is only populating these two Playlists/videos. EDIT: Played with it a bit. I unchecked auto-populate on Daphne and it no longer shows up in playlist view. Went back in and Checked it again and it still does not show in Playlist View. Weird. I also added a different playlist to Platforms and it showed up in platforms in BigBox, but not in Playlists. I am just going to have to add the playlists I want to Platforms to access them that way.

Any ideas what might be happening here. I did replace the Bigbox data file to try to resolve another issue, but quickly replaced it with the old file. I did a reinstall of the 9.5 update (was working on a different problem with shortcuts) and I also deleted all my playlists in LaunchBox and recreated them to try to resolve this issue. Before I did this I at least had 2 playlist Daphne and one other, but since I deleted and recreated all of my playlists in launchbox I get nothing but a grey bar on the right that fades away after a few seconds. I tried reinstalling 9.5 again to resolve, but nothing. Any ideas what can be done to resolve this issue?

That was what I was doing wrong, thanks!

I Installed the RetroFresh Theme and some Clear Logos for platforms, but I can not get them to show up in the "Platform" wheel. They will show up in other areas if I check the option, but the Platform Wheel is just boring text and I want to make it look better if possible. Sorry if this is a dumb question and I am missing something obvious.
