[Acorn Electron auto run games help]

Hey all. Trying to use ElectrEm for this... but when launched through LB it doens't load the game. The emulator comes up with a Basic prompt. Is there a setting or something in the emulator to get it to launch directly into the game?

Thanks!

I did not add anything in LB setup.

Ok, nevermind: I'm an idiot.
(Associated platform in RA had a slightly different name than the platform in LB).

Read this old thread. It works for me:

You still have to manually open "disk 0" with the mouse, but it auto-loads the *adf file selected in LB into it. Pretty neat.

Joystick is a hit-and-miss with old home computers. You can try something like JoyToKey if you really (really) want. No luck with Archimedes. I use Arculator - - http://b-em.bbcmicro.com/arculator/ - but I have to manually launch single disks. You can try others too (https://www.emutopia.com/index.php/emulators/category-items/3-emulators/305-acorn-archimedes). Do you use MESS? Does it work, automation apart? What's your folder structure?

I use an emulator called ElectrEm - http://electrem.emuunlim.com/ - (I never fully understood MESS folder structure), and it works fine with Launchbox with no need of command lines. My roms are in *ssd and *uef format.

Does anyone know the command line to start TO roms in Launchbox with Retroarch (Theodore core)? Everything works fine in Retroarch, but I can't find a way to launch games in LB. With "-r" it opens RA but it does not load any core and it does not launch anything. Sorry for the noobness, but I searched everywhere

[Altirra help?]

Ok based on the mention in this weeks tutorial I've discovered Altirra and to tell you the truth I'm pretty impressed by it except for one issue you have to enter a command line for each game giving it a cartmapper value. 4 is the value for 32K games 6 is the value for 16k two chip games and 16 is the value for 16k one chip games and these aren't the only values just the most popular ones.

I think this thread can be useful:
