Hello, I don’t think I have made a post here since I created a login. For a stand up cabinet pc build. Do you guys know if save states are possible for the games? Also can they be configured to a button press? Like adding a button to the control setup on the cabinet? New to this but have seen a lot on building and stuff. Just have not found anything specific to my question. thank you for tour time.

That is correct, ALL mame crash but 0.78 without loading at rom. The CPS rom set works with WinKawaks 1.65 Emulator. But only 63 of them. Sorry for such late response. I just got off working nights and went to bed.

My 0.78 roms work. It is the CPS1,2,3 roms that dont with what I have right now. I may uninstall the whole thing and start over.

I have no doubt that is correct. This Mame and roms work fine on my raspberrypie. Messing with GameCube right now and finally got Retroarch to show the dolphin_libtretro.dll is in there. And it still doesn't run

That is correct, I already know the rom set has to go with the version of Mame. However, If none of the newer versions of Mame will not even run at all. There is no point in me wasting time getting the correct rom set for them. Im running windows 10, DirexcX12

Well, I figured out my double imports. Best to let LB do it like you said. If you do it how I was doing it. It imports them twice. None of the Mame applications I have will run the CPS roms. Also retroarch will not run them either and I have swapped through every one of the cores through it. All they do it flash open and close right back. I know it is not the roms. I have the same ones on my raspberry working with 0.78. Next issue is, I'm trying to use retroarch to run GameCube. I can run them with Dolphin. But even after installing the core of it to retroarch. It still shows the plugin missing for gamecube. Going to have to look into that more if I want to use retroarch for these instead of Dolphin. A still fighting psx as well. Have not tried very hard on it yet. Just figured I would say something on it to see what you guys are using. I did work up a prototype for adjustable rapid fire mod. If I decide to use it. I guess im going to use this single thread as a noobs progress thread lol. Seems to make sense instead of spreading all the noob slime all over the forums. Here is a image of the diagram if anyone is interested in trying it. Parts list: SPDT Switch, Led, 1K ohm resistor, 1 ohm resistor, 50 ohm resistor, Potentiometer, 4uF capacitor, 555 Timer. Note: You can change some of the parts up a bit and get similar results. Such as the capacitor, resistors & the pot.

Yes im telling LB to leave them in the folder. But I moved them to that folder myself. It is just a theory of whats going on. However, im just getting a feel for it on my machine. The dedicated box is going to be the clean one. Yes you did say Mame would run CPS 123. Thats what im meaning by going to try it and see. The Mame im running is 0.78. I cannot get any other version of it to run. My current machine is win 10 and way over qualified in the hardware. Not sure if it needs some dependancy files for the newer versions of mame or not. I would rather use mame as the emulator since im farmiliar with the interface of it. Just placed my order, went for 18 buttons.

Hey thanks for the info. No im not using a Mac. My version of Mame is 0.78 That is the only one that runs for some reason. The others all flash and close. Plus you need the roms for the version of mame also. Unless something has changed. My raspberrypie box is fully working. So im all good there. Arcade,Nes,Snes,Sega Gen. The launchbox setup right now is on my pc. Im working through and getting stuff running. Then i will build a cabinet and a second pc for a cleaner setup. I have those double imports of games in it right now. Im suspect of if you copy the rom over manually. Then import it with launchbox from and to the same folder it is already in. Somehow it creates a double import. I will test this out in the next day or 2 and confirm my theory or not. I just dont trust software to move files around for me. Dolphin, project64,snes,nes,sega and mame are all working on the pc. Using other emulators outside of retroarch. You set them up to run full screen and they do like retroarch when a game is ran. CpS123 going to try mame and see if those work. Dont know what emu is needed for those. So whats left is PSX and Those Capcom ones And i will be done. Yes there will be some fighter games. I understand the analog game stuff wont play corretIy. Because movement will be full speed or complete stop. Nothing in between. Which may be a small problem. I may have the buttons needed worked out. I think 16 or 20 buttons will be good. I will start with 16. And be sure to have enough room for the other 4 if needed. If im feeling frisky. I will attemp a turbo button for each player. Once I got the rest acting right. Fixing to order these today. Thanks for all the input guys. Any is welcome.

Agh ok, roger all that.

Hey thanks for a reply man. What are the extra buttons needed for? Are they used to access config menus from emulators or something? Need to know this before making a order for the kit. There has to be something behind why they have 20 buttons. I know they are not used during game play because i see them either across the top or on the sides of machines. Well the ones on sides could be for a pinball setup. But other than that. I think they are used to access configs or something to quickly setup controlls or what have you. What is FBA? And is CPS1,2,3 mame core?

Hello everyone, Im a noob to the launchbox scene. Hope you guys can answer my questions since I dont know the vernacular to use in order to explain what im needing answers to lol. WOW i almost choked on that word lmao. My question, 1. Why does launchbox import doubles of my roms? I dont have doubles in the folder they are imported from. *Could it be that i copied them to a folder I created in launchbox then imported them from the same folder to that very same folder? 2. Im gearing to build a full size arcade 2 player cabinet. My question about the number of buttons. I see images of them with 20 buttons. Looks like 8 player button and 2 buttons up top. Also seen some with 6 player buttons and 4 up top. i think i know 4 of them are 1 and 2 player coins and 1 and 2 player start. Thats the 4. But what are the spares for? My cabinet I want to run Arcade, CPS1,2,3, Nes, Snes, N64 Sega Gen, Game Cube. Possibly PSX. That should be about it really. Whats that 9k of games im guessing if you get them all. Which im not, I will be doing the old pain staking weeding through and getting ones im familiar with to put on it. So its not going to be a massive collection. Just a nice one. So far with the free version of launchbox I have a few of these systems running. i will be buying the lifetime launchbox after i have a decent working system. And a membership to emumovies as well. 3. So can retroarch be used as the emulator for all of the platforms? And just configure one app? 4. Got some issues with PSX games not wanting to run. First it was saying a bin file was missing. Once i got that in I get retroarch to run but only black screen. Also use 190 and 201 psx emulator and those fail to run also. Using "Windows 10" and im sure I have something not setup right. But from what I been reading is people do use retroarch as the emulator. 5. What emu do I need to run CPS1,2,3? Retroarch or something else? I am lost on these roms. I think I may of ran 1 with Mame. If thats the case then Im good. (Need to slow down and do one thing at a time I guess) Now for some crazyness. I need all this help on launchbox/retroarch setup. But I have a raspberrypi 3 B fully setup by me running Mame, Nes, Snes, Sega Gen, 9001 Games total. i can use this in a cabinet and be done. However, It isnt good enough to run N64, Gamecube, PSX. The last 3 systems I care about getting up and going. I could be ok doing it with the pie. But the front end isnt that great. Nothing like hyperspin or launchbox. So im going to build a PC to run this launchbox system. I have a system now im testing on thats overkill for something like this. And could use it. But then im out of desktop PC kind of lol. Sorry for such a long winded post guys. Im excited to be here. I have been out of the pc programming/gaming scene for a few years just playing on xbox. I would not be surprised if someone here knows of me from the past lol.
