Maybe file permissions?   Authenticated Users has write permissions to the configs created by LaunchBox for overlays....but Users does not.

["Failed to save retroarch config file" whenrver trying to update settings when launching retroarch from LB]

I just started seeing this exact issue too...configs save when launching retroarch directly and they do not when launching from launchbox.

...and I'm thinking it might be related to the overlay configs.  I removed the Beetle PSX file created when I added overlays via Launchbox...now that core's presets properly save and load.

[Philips CD-i ... how do i emulate this in 2019?]

Can confirm it works! Just got CD-i games up-and-running in Mame 215 and Launchbox using the above tutorial and whatever else I could scrounge up around the net. They definitely need to make an updated video for this, took me hours to figure it out with bits and pieces of outdated info from several different sources. The key take-aways for CD-i emulation in Mame are;

1: Import your Phillips CD-i roms into Launchbox (CHD format is preferred for your roms, bin/cue files don't seem to work well. If you already have bin/cue files you can convert them to CHD).

2: Make sure you have correct CD-i bios file (cdimono1) in your Mame > roms folder.

3: Set Mame as your emulator. Make sure to uncheck the three boxes in the 'Emulator edit' tab. 

4: Under 'Associated Platforms' tab add the platform name (Phillips CD-i) and check 'Default Emulator' box.

5: Under 'Default Command-Line Parameters' type 'cdimono1 -cdrm'

Hopefully that's helpful to somebody

 

Followed these steps almost exactly.  I created a new emulator called MAME-CDi so I could save the different settings and default command line....worked like a charm!  Now I just need to figure out mapping controls.

Used this to convert bin and cue files to CHDs

[New MAME High Score feature!]

Resolved!  Clearing the /hi folder did the trick...but I was hasty trying to fix it earlier, and had renamed the highscore.dat file in plugins.  All good now!

Same happened to me. Open your Mame folder and then the “hi” folder. Delete the files for the games you would like to reset in there.

Tried that...also deleted the nvram folder for the games.  It seems no high scores are reporting for me anymore...even for games I hadn't previously played.

I've also updated to the latest version of launchbox, restarted...same issue.

[New MAME High Score feature!]

After the recent high scores reset, I can't seem to get any high scores to save to the community.  I think its because I'm not beating the existing saved high scores on my local MAME....any idea how to reset those?

Found it...delete the contents of mame's /hi and /nvram contents for the game you need to reset.

 

Nothing seems to work.  I'm not seeing any high scores post for me anymore (at least for games I already had scores for).
