I run my demul for Naomi and other systems listed in this pic. Just put these in your edit emulator configurations and should be good. Pay attention to the spaces in default command line parameters by the associated platforms, and check the needed boxes in the emulator details. just match location to your demul emulator application path, and that should get you settled.

Here is a link to my mega folder. Just drop the files from the folder into the artwork folder in the root of mame. Pull the files from the folders and place them there, not the folder themselves. Also, be sure you have bezels turned on for mame, you may have to hit tab and go to the video menu and turn those on. Also may need to set the video mode per game for the bezel to come up, since mame may not automatically default to have them on. Hope this helps. mega.nz/fm/5bFjXBgR

shot in the dark here but worked on one of my themes so may help with yours. Try setting the image you want to background-fan artwork. I found easiest way to do that is to go into regular launchbox, go to your game or magazine in your case. Right click to edit-metadata, scroll down the left-hand column til you find media>images. Then you can just drag and drop the picture into the menu, and it will populate, there should be a pull-down bar somewhere, and it would say something like boxes or front cover. Click on it and pulldown to background, then you should see more options and pick the fanart one. No guarantees that will work, but if you haven't tried that yet, wouldn't hurt.

Easiest way to update to new mame while keeping your settings (controller input files, ect...) is just move over these folders 📂 Cfg Ctrlr Artwork (if your using bezels) Ini Nvram And your Mame.ini file All those will be in root of your mame folder, basically drag and drop those into your new mame and click replace files. Far as launchbox goes just goto edit emulator and in the mame, just point to the new mame.exe

Thanks anyways! Appreciate it

Same here, I get the message when I try to open Bigbox from Launchbox Ui. If I open Bigbox directly from the Bigbox.exe though I do not receive the error. It's weird.

I would just download an entire new set and delete your old set. It can get messy updating the roms. Unless there is specific reason you want to update to 0.267, I wouldn't do it. From the notes from Mame, it doesn't look like anything big has been changed from the last set.

I have a related issue maybe @JoeViking245 or someone else can provide a solution. When using Bigbox while running background music, is there a way to have the background music shuffle to a new song, when exiting a game, instead of having Bigbox just start the music from where the song was cutoff when starting a game? Thanks!

seems like those games were configured using X-input controls (xbox and xbox style controls). Most arcade config is read as D-Input. You may need to use a 3rd party app for your arcade. x360ce is a popular one to use in this case too. Not sure if it will work, since it's been awhile since i messed with it myself. try it. At worse it still won't work lol. good luck

No problem. Glad to help

No problem. I've recently done what your doing. So it threw me off at 1st as well

you can safely delete those if that is what you wanted to do. Non-Merge the only clean way to go about it. Reason you get the additional apps message, is because Launchbox views those other version as "addition apps". So you would only delete those roms you selected to delete. When you right-click on the game and "Edit Metadata", you will see the additional apps on the left column, which contains the other versions of those games. Hope that helps clarify why Launchbox put up the additional apps message.

Yeah, it's been up for awhile. Just search pleasuredome and github. I just checked it. Still there.

Pleasuredome only provides the latest romsets. They do have older ones, but those are mostly for the lower end units, such low power pc, or raspberry pi style boards. I wouldn't worry about trying to update your roms. Just download the newest and match it with the new mame build.

Sinden doesn't work well with plug n play setups unless it's from a Batocera build, which Batocera natively will be the closest to plug n play you will get. Not the most optimal but good for a beginner to play some games. (Just need to get your own roms to add on to it). Your drive is tied with however it came when you bought it. Those scripts are tied to each emulator and if it's goes into Teknoparrot or American Laser Games those scripts are tied to, you will break your setup. Rule of thumb, when buying a prebuilt hard drive, don't mess with it, use it as intended. To your actual question, i run 3 instances of Launchbox (One for Main use, LG Setup and testing/misc use) Just have to rename your root launchbox folder something different than your Regular Launchbox folder (e.g. Launchbox LG). Also if you proceed to do what you suggested, create a backup folder for all your files in your paid drive. If case you do mess something up and can't reverse the issues, you can delete and start again with the backup folder. Good luck.

Have you tried just running your roms on the actual Mame emulator without running it through Launchbox?

Late to the party here, but if you're using Retroarch to run your emulators, retroarch can auto set your refresh to 30hz inside retroarch. You would need to change that inside retroarch configs, because that is an issue with my TV, I've had multiple times running builds from a Batocera and Launchbox setup. If you're not Using retroarch to run your emulators then I dunno ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Set your additional app for Sega M2 this way (not in the picture, but what I'm going to tell you) application Name =DemulShooter (name means nothing just keeps things cleaner) Application Path = c:\DemulShooter\demulshooter.exe (Use the demulshooter .exe file, app path is just wherever you keep your Demulshooter not your bat. the reason for the add'l app here is to launch demulshooter along with your game) VERY IMPORTANT STEP!!!! Application command line parameter= -target=model2 -rom=ROMNAME (if it's House of the Dead the replace ROMNAME with hotd) check your box as seen in the picture. Do this for all your games (I think for shooting there is only 6 roms) Also, you need to edit your running script in your emulator settings so Demul will properly close, or it won't shutdown. You'll need to go to "Running script and add this between the existing brackets Process, Close, DemulShooter.exe If you don't do that then demul may close when you open the game. Hope that helps or get you on the right path at least.

yes this works Thanks. (Sometimes reading old threads pays off) I added that into my running script in launchbox for my segamodel2.

oh also, you have model2 in your bat file as target=mode12, just double check that make sure it does say target=model2 and not "mode 12"

Try these steps, Mess with just the Standalone emulator, don't launch with launchbox. check your Emulator.ini file and make sure your directory is set correctly. You're Dir1=c: line should be your rom location, just point it to wherever it's at. Also at least 2 games (lightgun wise) contain CHD files, HOTD & VCOP. if you have a seperate spot for CHD files you can create Dir2= (CHD LOCATION HERE) directly under Dir1. (note remove the ; in front of Dir1. ;Add your rom directories here (max 10) ;ROMS subdirectory in the same folder than the exe is always scanned when searching for roms ;(remove the ; form Dir1) [RomDirs] ;Dir1=c:\Model2\roms Run emulator_multicpu.exe - this will populate the remaining settings within EMULATOR.INI Close the Model 2 emulator Open EMULATOR.INI Search for the settings below within your EMULATOR.INI file and set as appropriate From there run your emulator using emulator_multicpu.exe also, set this in launchbox as your launching executable. if the game starts up then you solve the problem of game running via the Sega M2. If the doesn't work then scrap your M2 and redo setup. If it doesn't work when you launch it with Launchbox then it's narrowed down at least to a launchbox issue. Good luck!

Necroing a thread but I run different guns (Sinden) but regardless of the gun, the proper setup for Model2 requires raw input to 0. Setting it to 1 is bugging, especially when combining it with demulshooter since demulshooter will take care of your raw input. Just change it back to 0 and go from there. As for, adding Demulshooter as additional apps, you shouldn't need to do that if you are launching it from the batfile. I do run demulshooter as an additional app however in my build and that's cause i avoid using batfiles as much as possible for a cleaner setup. That setup however requires it's own type of setup which belongs in a different post. Good luck hope you all get it running properly.

Is your box an andriod box or pc? if you have a pc i run a channel that goes through thoroughly running games with Sinden from Mame up to Demul and Sega M2 (more coming in the future). about 1h long videos but I go through every step and just follow along you will be up and running. These are PC based though so if it's not pc then may not work out for you. good luck

Some things to try. Try a different rom, I always recommend Alien 3 the Gun since it's easiest to run and see if you have same problem there. If you do, try using a different border for T2. The Artwork could be too bright for the game to know art from the actual white border. Check your light around and behind the arcade. Do you have a lamp or a strip of LED running by or behind the arcade cab? that will affect and cause your mouse jumping around. Good way to double check that is go into your Sinden program look at your raw and process screen, if it's not fully blue that could be the cause. Your monitor is the refresh 60hz, a higher refresh rate, especially concerning Mame could be a factor. For some game (T2 is one of them) in-game calibration is needed. f2 or f4 into the games test menu and calibrate there. Also, it looks like that border cuts off part of your trigger so you may not have been able to accurately calibrate your gun. Solution, use the regular Sinden border and turn off the artwork border. after you calibrate it and are satisfied then you can use your artwork border again after that.

also one last thing to try if any above hasn't worked out are these ps-x specific settings. Under game specific notes try any of those fixes with your die-hard game. It may help your game work correctly. Hope something there helped out. Good luck PSX specific settings (core settings): Start a Playstation game Press F1 for quick menu Scroll down to "Options" Turn Gun input mode to "Lightgun" Turn the Gun crosshair to "off" Press the right mouse key to go back a menu Scroll down to and select "Controls" Go to Pad 1 For input type, press the right arrow key to change to Guncon **Note, some games will need a game-specific override for this to "Justifier" instead** Go up to "Save Core Remap" (this means all PSX games with this emulator will recognize you are using a lightgun) press the right mouse key to go back a menu Scroll down to "Overlays" Turn show overlay to "ON" Select "Overlay Preset" Navigate to one of the Sinden Borders, such as the medium white, and select Select Overlay opacity and make it 1.0 (this makes the border fully white instead of kind of grayed out) Turn off the option for showing the mouse cursor with an overlay Right mouse click until you are back at the general quick menu again Scroll down to Overrides Select save core override (this means all PSX games will use the options and overlays you set, so you won't have to do this again for PSX) Exit out of the quick menu by clicking resume or F1 and play your game PSX popular game-specific notes: Area51 and Lethal Enforcers collection need "Justifier" instead of "Guncon" in the Quick Menu controls option. Some others may need this too. For these games, start the game, enter the Quick Menu, go to Controls, change the input type to Justifier, then save GAME REMAP instead of CORE Remap This applies the settings to this game only. You need to do it individually for both games. For Time Crisis, Time Crisis Titan, and Jesse James, you can go into the actual games' in-game settings/options and change the reload method to "press" instead of "release" Changing the default means you will always be "out" of cover, and you pump the gun to go INTO cover. For various games, you will either use the pump action, or the back left side Sinden Lightgun button to reload, and test to see which one works for which game.
