@Tsik Okay, I figured out my problem. I did as you suggested above. I setup a new instance of Launchbox. Did a fresh install and downloaded a few Saturn roms from the Archive. Without any setup modifications at all the games simply launched and played just fine without issue. I then went back to my current build of Launchbox. Deleted the Saturn Platform and imported the new rom files I just downloaded and without issue the games launched as they should. I guess I just needed to dump my Saturn roms and start fresh! Thanks for the help.

Just found this folder with older versions of LB, maybe I can try rolling it back to a previous version.

@Tsik In response to your questions My problem is the game won't boot, it goes directly to the bios every time. Yes, the problem occurs no matter which Saturn game I try to launch. Yes, my bios files match your screenshot exactly... See below I removed the Beetle Saturn config file .opt and restarted and launched a game through Retroarch. Here is the version I am running Everything seems to be correct. I am running the latest version of both Retroarch and Launchbox. I never used to have a problem launching Saturn games via Launchbox until I updated to 13.19. I even updated to and am currently running 13.20. I'd sure hate to uninstall and reinstall Launchbox. I've never had to do that before. Is there a way to do that without loosing all my media files? My current Launchbox file size is 130 GB 😭

Hi @Tsik I tried taking the Astal rom file out of its folder and placed it directly into the rom folder to eliminate the extra folder as the issue. I then re-browsed its file location. Still no dice! Might you share with me which Libretro Core you are using for both the standalone Retroarch and the Launchbox Associated Platform? The only Libretro core that works for my Retroarch standalone is Beatle Saturn, all the other cores freeze when I try using them i.e. Yabause and Yabasanshiro. Because Beatle Saturn works in the Standalone I choose mednafen_saturn_libretro in the Launchbox Associated Platforms because the internet says mednafen is the same as Beatle Saturn. I was hoping you could share with me which cores you use on Retroarch and which core you associate with on Launchbox. FYI - I have tried every Saturn Libretro available within the Associated Platform of Launchbox. I get the same result every time no matter which one I pick. Theoretically - If I can use Beatle Saturn Core in Retroarch standalone then I should be able to use it as the Associated Platform for Launchbox. Thank you for your continued help and patience 😅

Hi @Tsik, I am able to load games through Retroarch standalone. I tried adding the ..\ to the emulator path. But that created this error. I believe the .. is a visual indication when you have a long file path. the dots don't really do anything. However I did go through and verify that my file paths were correct by using the "Browse" technique. Same issue. I appreciate the help. Thanks

Hi @faeran, Here are some screenshots of the above mentioned areas to look into for my Saturn emulation setup. Everything looks good to me, have a look. Thanks

Thanks Introga, much appreciated!🙂

Same thing is happening when I try to launch Sega Saturn through Retroarch. Can you test that platform and let me know if you’re having the same problem as me? I’ve opened up a thread and contacted support but I’m not getting any help. Much appreciated thanks!

The game file formats I'm using are .CHD and .CUE. Neither of them will launch through Launchbox or Bigbox. However I can play them in Retroarch if I don't use Launchbox.

Hello - After the 13.19 update my Launchbox cannot run Sega Saturn when using Retroarch as the emulator. It just loads into the Saturn bios as if there were no disk in the console. I had no problem loading and playing Saturn games before the update. please help Thank you.

I’m running launchbox like a console, playing games from the couch via an 8BitDo Sn30 Pro controller. Anybody know how to exit Dolphin and CEMU with an xinput controller? I know “esc” is the best working solution but I’d prefer to use the controller. Please help… thanks ***UPDATE*** Figured it out, I downloaded a different version and now I can exit via pause menu.
