I guess when I say upscale my terminology isn't entirely accurate. It's more like using shaders/filters to give it that hd smooth look

What confused me last time is which core for which system to use. Anywhere I can go to find out what the highest resolution/compatibility of each system is?

Hmmm well I have an i7 8700 so I'm not too worried about that. Maybe I could give it a shot. How compatible is beetle in comparison to mednafen?

I haven't had as much luck compatibility wise with retroarch as I have with stand alone emulators. Good example is mednafen for Saturn or project 64 for N64 (especially since p64 let's you do specific settings game specific). I'm also a huge fan of upscaling the games. I haven't experimented much with retroarch there but the ease of it with the stand alone is pretty nice. It's not that I'm not fluent in r launcher. I migrated here from hyperspin. I just prefer launchbox over everything that I would hate to have to set everything up on there as well with the amount of games and time that would take after just getting everything on launch box perfect.

I'm just full of questions as of late... So I've done as much googling as I can. From what I can see, I would have to use retroarch (which I hate) or use rocket launcher in conjunction with launch box (which I bet would be a big waste of time to reset all that just for bezels) in order to use this for more than just mame games on stand alone emulators? Any way around this or to just use the bezel feature on rocket launcher without having to go through all that setup? Any stand alone bezel implement programs out there?

Anyone notice that if you save in super Gameboy mode you can't load in Gameboy mode? Trying to transfer some Pokemon back and forth and realized I was playing in super Gameboy and that's why it wouldn't connect to the other Gameboy. Tried to load my save file in Gameboy mode and it's missing. Anyone have a fix for this?

Didn't know where to post this so thought here would be safe. Was wondering in concern to games that require you to log in, is there a feature or a way that you can set up launch box to log you in so no keyboard or third party tool is needed? For instance I play FF14. Before you get in the game you have to type in your screen name and password. Wondering if that can be scripted in some how so it's all done when I click on it.

Ok so I figured out just too many images trying to render. You don't realize how many it sets at default until you go into it. Turned off fan art for now and will keep messing with it from there I suppose. Ton of images on default wow

I seem to be having this same issue and am trying to find where I can change the cache setting on lb in the most recent version (not under options like I saw in previous posts of older versions). Everything else on pc is super cool in the sense of usage, just the disc when selecting all games is crazy high.

So a buddy of mine reassured me everything is kosher. I apologize for all the questions and appreciate everyone's patience with me ?. Hopefully as time goes on I'll be able to add some wisdom to these forums as well.

Hmmm ok so just don't block or delete the torrent. The only other question I would have is does a VPN still protect you?

Hmm I'm sorry I'm new to this concept. If I have a VPN running after I sign up but not during wouldn't the VPN address get the credit for downloading/uploading? I'm sorry to be a bother about all this.

So I checked out pleasure dome and they ask if you are new to not use a VPN or they will ban you? Does that seem kinda shady?

No worries I appreciate your help. I'm going to get set up with a VPN and maybe give it a shot.

Oh man Saturn games I'm good on. I got everything working well. It's just Dreamcast games. I would hit them up but I feel I wouldn't be able to meet there requirements. I'm kinda looking to make this a stand alone deal. Kinda once I got what I needed I'll help those that ask but not on a mass scale. I don't trust torrents too much and the idea of keeping one open scares me real good. It's not that I don't want to help the community, just worried about safety.

Ok so I just did some digging. My files are CDI files which some are apparently self boot and some are not. This is what I was thinking since there was clearly data the emulator could see but couldn't play. Also it does seem to point to the need of a boot disc with a set up of using dameon tools and swapping discs virtually but still having to physically do so. My goal is to make everything like a console where you never have to see windows by using big box so this method is going to be unexceptable for my expectations and is leaving me to hope and pray there is another way to do this. Converting the files to CHD did not work as it seems to still require a boot disc. I don't know where to find working CHDs of my collection (and I'm not asking as I don't want to break any rules) or how to make them from my physical copies (which ultimately some of these games are no longer in my possession and I would have to reaquire them) or if that would even be the answer (because they may just rip the same way no matter what). Anyone have any advice regarding this? This is the last system I need to get set up and there are so few games I got working.

So I've seen a few posts on here and tried some of the fixes but I'm still having issues. Launch box finds my 8bitdo controller just fine but none of the buttons are registering to set up my automation. I have not tried in big box as of yet as I am not quite finished with my project to move on to big box but I would imagine it would be similar? Controller working in all emulators flawlessly but I did some of the work around stuff like update firmware for both my dongle and controller, restart launch box after, tried with both use all attached option on and off and all that fun stuff. Working flawlessly and everywhere with the exception of launchbox. Again the dongle shows up but does not let me input buttons on automation. Edit: the second I post I figure things out. It's a curse and mskes me look like a jerk sorry guys. You have to select the option, hit ok, re enter options then select buttons.... Just a heads up for anyone as silly as me ?

Now I have an issue where my launch box won't even load and reinstalling it greets me with a new screen that says free version and all my work missing. Also there icon where I reinstalled it still does not bring up launch box. Edit: fixed launch box was making a folder in a folder when reinstalling. Ugh sorry to flood you guys. I just got super angry for a moment.

I'm coming to the conclusion these are bad rips. Even after conversion I'm getting nothing. Made sure to switch plug in for CHD prior. Don't know what else it could be.

So I have chdman but it does not want to run or I am just clueless on how to do this. Looking online they said to drop it in a folder with just that bin/cue or just that CDI file, double click on batch and it should do the rest but I am having no such luck. Edit: gdi files were named CDI so changing that and the program seems to be running atm. Going to double check my cue files here and see what goes on with those.

I think I have the latest version but I'll see if I can find this utility and I'll give that a shot. Thank you so much!

Thanks. I can't imagine what that. Only thing is it seems to be allot of them ? that's why I was hoping it was some stupid thing I overlooked. Just couldn't imagine what it would be if both emulators were having the same issue. Also held out for hope since most were still being recognized as having some kind of data showing up as 74 minutes or so of music that wouldn't play on the music part of the BIOS. Almost like there is a boot disc needed? Was thinking maybe I missed some setting or extra file that needs to be placed with the game files that acts as an auto boot disc or something but not seeing anything through Google and not having much experience here I'm kinda lost beyond my current diagnosis.

Tried to do as much looking with Google as I can and this seems to be the one thing I can't figure out. To start with the things I have ruled out: - DeMul it's self seems to work fine (Dynamite Cop). Very game specific. - Games that are bin/cue files, all cue files checked to see that they match bin files - cdi files having same issues as well - some bin/cue or cdi games work, where as others only bring up the bios screen or CD player screen and does not play the game upon request. Seems to be needing a boot disc of some sort to read properly. Region does not seem to be an issue as most all games I have are USA. Some games bring up nothing but a pitch black screen that never moves from it. Each bios setting in demul tried. Only one functioning. - Launches from launch box fine (Thank God) so it is definitely not that. - Games that do not work do not show up in ReDream library either so my hunch is that these are bad rips (if I violate a rule by saying that I apologize) but not sure how to troubleshoot such a thing. So in a nutshell I believe this to be specific to the game it is trying to play, however I have no idea why others with that file type would work why others wouldn't if all the naming situations match up fine. I try not to resort to such things like asking online (I spent three hours today messing around with mednafen to get as close to HD looking as possible by using google ? ) but I don't see much info about this that usually points to not having a bios or it being something that happens to there whole set.
