I personally use joytokey just find it easier, you can map any keyboard key to any button on your joypad or combination of buttons. I even have a steering wheel where I have a button that i can exit games when I'm done with a racing game for example, and of course regular controllers too.

I use my own images that I get from Google. So would I just need data + images folder?

I am aware of tools > create data backup but I also keep a full backup on an external hard drive in case my computer ever crashed because it's crashed before and those data backups didn't do any good. I'm just curious when I want to update my full backup is there a set of certain files I can just copy over to it or do I have to copy over everything?

Naomi does not equal Atomiswave. You need awbios.zip bios for Atomiswave. You should always verify bios are working. You load the core and then below that in the main menu click on information then core information. It will tell you if your bios are set or missing. Another thing you need to make a folder called dc inside system and put the bios inside of there for Retroarch to read them. It will say present if the bios are correct and working

I am attempting to use this but still having a problem that I don't see covered. I have a Steering Wheel that I changed from Device #2 to Device #1 so when I launch a Wii game through launchbox to race it says [disconnected] Xinput/1/Wheel. I want it to default to the correct device which is Xinput/0/Wheel, but don't know how. Even in the link I I don't see where you can choose devices for Wii.

It's ok thanks anyway I figured out there's a certain button that no matter what you map it to if you hit it it will freeze the game it was kinda weird never seen anything like that. As long as I avoid that button, the game works without a save state.

Is this possible? I just got Mario Kart Arcade GP 2 to work with my steering wheel, but it takes some trickery to get it to work and I have to load a save state every time I load it or it freezes. Is there some script I could make to add to launchbox or elsewhere that it will load the save state when I launch the game?

I fixed it my computer doesn't seem to like it when I launch fullscreen and I had forgotten I made my Retroarch cfgs read only because Retroarch likes to change things like controls on you so when I changed it to windowed it wasn't saving the changes. I wish I knew how to stop emulators crashing fullscreen but that's some computer/Windows 10 problem.

Well I removed that command line it still crashes the same. I have multiples of the same emulator sometimes due to different controls (i.e. Lightgun or Steering Wheel), and also it may be the same platform but need different emulators example most of my Saturn games are just Saturn games and not in Retroarch but some that use Lightgun require Retroarch so they're in Retroarch. But as you can see in the pic I have Sega Genesis default platform checked and also tried unchecked either way same crash. I get that it may sound confusing but I never had a problem with Retroarch crashing until today.

I have been making changes but AFAIK I am using the correct settings. When using Retroarch on it's own games are working fine. I meant to put the last pic first but still same thing.

I am using a Steering Wheel for Dreamcast games for Flycast in Retroarch and all the controls and buttons worked by default without me changing anything, but the wheel is too sensitive when I barely move it the car flies in that direction. I went into settings > input and tried to increase and decrease sensitivity and it makes no difference what so ever somehow. I have it set at -0.5 right now but it's still flying each direction. I thought that meant low sensitivity as in not sensitivity but it doesn't work. There doesn't seem to be any core settings to fix it either only about deadzone. Not really a Launchbox problem granted, but I wasn't sure where else to ask.

Nope it's not, I load it in Project 64 on it's own fine and it's Diddy Kong Racing. This is getting even weirder, I decided to revert to Project 64 1.6 for a few reasons I was using Project 64 2.3 before, and now it loads Vigilante 8 LMAO I swear to God I'm not joking or anything. I can make a video tomorrow it's a little late tonight. I'm afraid if I make a video you'll think I'm changing the name of the rom on purpose or something. That would be an incredibly lame waste of time wouldn't even qualify as a prank just dumb and that is not what's happening here I promise on everything. I just deleted the game from Launchbox, started over and it did it again with Vigilant 8 this is nuts. Now I think it's something with Project 64 and not Launchbox, I tried it in Project 64 and it opens Vigilante 8. This is the exact same rom that loaded Extreme G. They must have something screwed up in their database or something. This is so dumb. I have both Project 64 1.6 and 2.3 installed. When I launch it in Launchbox with Project 64 1.6 = Vigiliante 8, when I launch it in Launchbox with Project 64 2.3 = Extreme G, when I launch it with Project 64 1.6 directly = Vigilante 8, when i launch it with Project 64 2.3 directly = Diddy Kong Racing. IT'S THE EXACT SAME ROM. I just downloaded the Euro rom of Diddy Kong Racing, and it loads correctly in Launchbox. Case closed I guess.

Just to show I'm not crazy this is my screen attached below. The game is clear as day Diddy Kong Racing, but when I load it in Launchbox Extreme G plays. I have tried once again selecting the rom, but it still plays Extreme G. Headscratcher to me. I do also have Extreme G in the same folder, but I don't know how that would effect it loading the wrong rom. If I load it in Project 64 it loads the correct rom Diddy Kong Racing.

I always make a thread like this and then figure it out right after. It was analog up and down which I didn't suspect. Highly recommend getting a steering wheel for any racing fan.

Just got a Thrusmaster Steering Wheel today for PC and Xbox 360, having a blast with it. However in Demul specifically the arcade (Naomi, Atomiswave, Hikaru) I was able to map the steering wheel easily with left and right stick, but I've tried all the buttons and can't map the gas and brake. Is it not possible? There's a few cool racers like Faster Than Speed, Maximum Speed, Star Wars Racer, Sega Nascar that I'd like to use it on. The thing I find odd is it lets me map them with no problem in controls but when I launch the games no go vroom vroom. Since it doesn't say, I don't know which buttons would be gas/brake but I've mapped all the buttons on the wheel and none of them make it go.

The lowest I have locally is like $200 lol. Are they pretty easy to hack/add emulators to?

Ah that makes sense thanks.

I just tried that it says Please enter at least one applicable platform in the grid.

I have an emulator Flycast that I want to make a copy of and have two different folders of the same emulator. The reason is I have an arcade stick to use for the Naomi games that work on it and I want to use my wireless controller for Dreamcast games, but the emulator makes you choose a primary so I don't want to switch back and forth every time I play thus two copies of the same emulator. But I'm not sure how to do that in Launchbox when I add an emulator it appears you can only choose from a list in the dropbox or am I incorrect?

I thought flycast did not support naomi 2 are you saying you got it to work?

Everything's working now it was a resolution conflict with an app I use called WindowedBorderlessGaming. The only issue I have is cave games have no sound when fullscreen for some reason.

If I try them in newer demul 7a_221215 with DX 11 old I get error Failed Create Texture.

When I load Gaelco roms in Demul it doesn't do anything no errors just sits there until I close Demul. It's as if I didn't load a rom at all but the options are great out to choose another rom which is the behavior of a loaded rom. I read somewhere that may be outdated that I need the old version of Demul0582 but it does the same thing. Tried both DX plugins no help. I got them to load before but I had to do a PC reset and start from scratch and I don't know what I did to get them to work. If I load them through Launchbox it just shows Demul with a gray screen. Again I get no errors either way launching through Launchbox or Demul itself.

I don't know of an app but I just make a ahk script this works for most games. ; This section closes PC Game Whatever when pressing Escape $Esc:: { Send !{F4} } Compile it into an .exe, then load it in launchbox as an additional app and load it before the game. As far as pausing games I have no idea, but that works usually for exiting games with esc.

I'm not sure of the exact script but this might help If it doesn't, I use an app called WindowedBorderlessGaming that works pretty well. It's just an app that sits in the bottom right corner and you right click it and choose add window and click back on your game and hit F3. Then when working right it should save that setting in that game when you play it again. Even if you don't need it for this particular situation you might need it for something else. http://westechsolutions.net/sites/WindowedBorderlessGaming/
