  1. I have just discovered that if I disable the "Upload MAME Community Leaderboards..." and "Upload you MAME High Scores...", the quick.sta will be stored in the right folder. But for no reason... the snapname are now ignored, but it's OK, I can live like this. At least I can save wherever I want.
  2. I’ve had my LaunchBox installation for years on a 4TB mechanical hard drive with the letter Z:. We’re talking about a PC / Windows 11. I’ll call this drive OLD. It was slow processing all the files, so I bought a 4TB SSD (I'll refer to this one as NEW) and installed it in my PC. I copied everything from OLD to NEW. I assigned Z: to NEW, and OLD became R: storing other types of data. My idea in assigning the letter Z: to NEW (which was OLD’s letter) was that LaunchBox, RetroArch, and all the others wouldn’t notice the hard drive change. I added a new romset (Arcade / MAME) and I had the MAME emulator installed (MAME 0.270) via LB. Everything seemed fine. The problem arises when I play any game, for example Hunchback, and press the Quick Save key. I’ve spent hours looking for the quick.sta file on NEW Z: without success. By pure chance, I discovered that LaunchBox is somehow forcing MAME to store quick saves… on OLD R:!! It creates folders like this: If I run MAME without LaunchBox, load Hunchback, and do a quick save, it saves correctly in the MAME folder on NEW Z:. If I close MAME and go back to LB, and load the game again, LB and MAME will create a new folder with another random number with the new quick.sta. My suspicion is that LaunchBox somehow remembers the ID, or some kind of identifier pointing to OLD, but I haven’t been able to find that reference anywhere. I would like to fix this without reinstalling LaunchBox and everything else from scratch, as I’ve spent years configuring it bit by bit. 😞 Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.
  3. I had the same exact problem. In my case, it doesn't allowed me to update because Launchbox was installed without any folder, on the root of one of my hard disks. It seems that it needs to be contained in a folder. When I moved from X: to X:\Launchbox, it autoupdated with no issues.
  4. Successful!! I tried those drivers and they worked like a charm. Thank you for that. ? I have another question related to the previous one. I select a button for "Start game". I'm in plain mode in Launchbox, no BigBox. For some reason, I can only start a game with the "click" button on the controller. Actually, double "click". The "Start game" button does nothing... Is this intended? Maybe I'm doing something wrong... Again, thanks a lot for your time and suggestions.
  5. Cool. Thanks a lot for the info guys. I'll give it a try. I'm not sure about trying the unofficial drivers since I had so much trouble to get this thing working (bluetooth drivers issues...) but it definitely should be the solution.
  6. Hi all, I have a problem with my 8bitdo SF30 Pro controller. Is connected via Bluetooth to the PC (win 7 64bits). It's recognized as Xbox Bluetooth Gamepad. It's working inside Retroarch, no problem with that. The thing is that I can't have it working in Launchbox interface. I open the tab with the Controllers option, click refresh but nothing appears there. I don't know what can I do to solve that... any ideas? Maybe there is no bluetooth support or something... I don't know. Sorry about the language in the screenshot... but I think you get the idea. ? Thank you
