Got it to work. I tried having Launchbox reinstall the emulator and it still didn’t work. I then deleted PCSX2 and reinstalled it and then added it to the emulator list and everything works now???

I have my all of my PlayStation 2 games in gz format and they are launching fine in pcsx 2 no problem. When I launch them in Launchbox I get audio but just a black screen? Pcsx2 is selected as the emulator in Launchbox also.

I just updated to the latest version. Previously for PC games I would drag and drop them into my windows pc games folder and it would launch with no problems. Now when I try to to launch a new pc game added it says there is no associated emulator even though its an .exe? Edit** Figured out emulator is now automatically checked so I have to go in and now manually uncheck emulator. Defiantly easier to just drag and drop like before??

For me it was operator error. I had another emulator using a different dolphin version. I deleted the other dolphin emulator and configured all emulators to use the same version of Dolphin and the error went away. Totally forgot I had a separate Dolphin in a different folder.

Mine does that sometimes but if I exit out and restart it works. Just recently now I stay on my desktop screen, ledblinky loads and the taskbar disappears but nothing happens. I have to go into task manager and end the task. Seems to be getting worse with every update.

I can’t say for sure what update caused this since I’ve been keeping up with the updates but haven’t played my cab a lot. Ever since I started using Bigbox I would occasionally get a black screen on start up but as soon as I hit any button it would go to the wheel, no big deal and I think it’s a known issue. However now when I get the black screen at start up I hit a button and Big Box crashes. I go back to my windows desktop but the taskbar isn’t there. I have to go into task manager and close BigBox then restart it and it’s fine.

I dont think this is beta related. I posted about this last week in the trouble shooting section. I am not running beta and still get the error when checking for updates. I am using the correct version of the emulator and plugin and also deleted and reinstalled the emulator.

@C-Beats I see there’s another thread just started about Dolphin using Retroarch. I’m using standalone but could my issue be related you think?

I know that's been changed. Not sure where I got that from lol

This error is occurring as soon as I start download manager for emulators. I use to have two versions of dolphin installed but not any longer. I tried again deleting dolphin and reinstalling and repairing the plug in but still every time I run download manager for the emulators I get both of these errors. It will do both errors twice in a row also? I'm confused on what its checking that it doesn't like?

So I tried updating the plugins and am still getting the same error. I even tried reinstalling dolphin again. I’m confused what the “long version” of Dolphin would be? Is there a file that is storing the wrong version in Launchbox I could delete to start over for Dolphin? Thanks again for the help.

Thanks Joe. I will try this when I get back home.

I keep getting an error in Launchbox for Dolphin when I go to manage emulators. I’ve tried deleting Dolphin and reinstalling and tried letting Launchbox download it but nothing helps. Any ideas?

Well I thought this was fixed but it’s happened a couple times now. LED blinky still loads faster which is nice but the black screen on start up is still happening.

Oh ok. Seems weird to post it then delete it lol. Thanks for letting me know.

Yesterday I saw there was a theme for this game uploaded but it looks like it was removed now because I cant find it. Did anyone happen to grab it and can share?

I just did this. I keep my roms and emulators in my Hyperspin folder but made a new folder called Launchbox and point that to my roms and emulators in Hyperspin. I can use either or this way and both work great. I was going to delete Hyperspin but heard there is some development going on now with Hyperspin so I will wait.

I like that Launchbox is being made easier for new users with the auto imports of games and emulators but would like to see an auto import of game themes. I know a lot already do but there is also a lot I have to go to the downloads section to find. Most are PC games but I have to wonder how many game themes I'm missing that are available even in my regular systems like Nintendo, Playstation, etc.. Just a thought.

I've had this happen when selecting a game quickly. I don't have an active marquee but I have noticed the sound keeps playing from the theme when the game starts so I have to close the game and relaunch it.

These files work. You have to point them each time to the correct file when extracting. If you just hit ok and don't point them to the file it will come up corrupted.

Check your refresh rate on your tv. It’s probably changing when you plug in your pc. I believe it should be at 60hz

Has anyone else noticed an improvement after the last update? I’ve only started my machine about 15 times but haven’t had the black screen issue so far and noticed Ledblinky starts a lot faster. I used to get almost a quarter of the way through my start up video without ledblinky lighting up but now it lights up controls almost right away. Big improvement for me so far but again with the black screen it might be too early to tell. Ledblinky launching earlier is noticeably faster!!!

I’ve had this happen using Hyperspin and found when I paused Hyperspin it muted Retroarch in windows and when I exited pause it never unmuted Retroarch in windows. I think it was under sound mixer maybe?

This is how I do it too. I even tried using the same hotkey for discovery center and playlist so I could just hit the same button to switch views but that doesn’t work.

Just curious is anything was done to address the start up video loading to a black screen? I’ve only started my machine about 5 times so it’s early to tell if I will have the problem of it not loading still but so far so good and I have noticed LEDblinky loads A LOT faster during the start up video. Thank you
