Hey jhardluck, Give the solution that worked for me a try. I had quite a headache with this since the apps worked independently but not together. I have it below for your convenience. "For anyone else that may have this issue, I resolved it by clearing the data and caches of RetroArch from within the Android Apps menu. I thought uninstalling the app would clear everything but I was mistaken as the issue would still be present after the reinstall. Once I cleared the data and caches of RetroArch my games booted right up. Android Settings > Apps > RetroArch > Clear Data"

Hi Jason, Thanks for the reply and verifying on your end. There definitely was something up with my setup. I was getting so frustrated trying to figure out the cause I was just about to factory reset my Shield. I did finally resolve it though. For anyone else that may have this issue, I resolved it by clearing the data and caches of RetroArch from within the Android Apps menu. I thought uninstalling the app would clear everything but I was mistaken as the issue would still be present after the reinstall.

Hey LaunchBox, I'm hoping you can help me with a weird issue I'm having. I have RetroArch 64-bit side loaded onto my Nvidia Shield TV and with the latest versions of LaunchBox for Android (0.41 & 0.42) I can't seem to launch any systems through RetroArch. I keep getting a black screen. I can see that RetroArch launches but I have to force close it cause it doesn't go passed the black screen. I'm pretty fluent in tinkering with RetorArch so I'm positive the core configs are correct. I have LaunchBox pointing to the sideloaded 64-bit RetroArch and then also pointed it to the appropriate core (I've also tried with multiple cores). I've tried this with a side loaded 32-bit RetroArch as well as both versions on the Play Store but just ain't having any luck with it. This doesn't seem to be an issue with my standalone emulators (Dolphin, DraStic, Mupen64 FZ, PPSSPP, ReDream, Yaba Sanshiro) as those all launch as intended. I can also confirm that I can run RetroArch and load all those systems/games through there just fine as well. Seems to be a an issue with the script or something communicating between LaunchBox and RetroArch. Thanks in advance and let me know if you need me to provide anything else!

I have not had a good experience with the built in importer as it has tenancies to freeze and crash the app (on both my phone and Shield TV). Considering it won't be updated anymore, I can't expect that to get any better. I also have custom artwork loaded into my setup which can't be added via the built in importer. Forgive my ignorance, but I don't understand why it had to be removed from the desktop app. Can that be added back in a future update? Or can I at least download the last version it was in?

I can understand them having their reasons for stopping development, but I don't understand why they'd have to remove the export option. I still use the app on my phone and Nvidia Shield TV and would like to keep my games up-to-date. I really hope they at least give you a toggle in the settings for it. Otherwise I just feel cheated out of $5...
