Firstly, I'm new to Launchbox and Retroarch so I apologize for any stupid questions or using the wrong terminology. Hopefully I have provided
all of the relevant information but please let me know if I am missing anything. I appreciate the help and those working to make this a
great community!
I'm having the same issue as the previous poster and the suggestions provided didn't fix the issue..........
I'm using Launchbox (12.6) and Retroarch (1.9.14.0) on a Windows 10 PC.
I'm having problems launching Neo Geo (SNK Neo Geo AES) games directly from Launch box. I can however launch the Neo Geo games directly from RetroArch. My assumption is that I have a simple setting/association disconnect between LaunchBox and Retroarch.
When I launch the game from RetroArch, I am specifying the "Final Burn Neo" core (1.0.0.03). The game displays and operates correctly.
When I run the game from LaunchBox, I am running the game from the same location (C:\Users\Bills Office\LaunchBox\Games\SNK Neo Geo AES).
The games in this location are zipped. When I run the game from RetroArch, I get the notification in the screenshot indicating the Rom Set is unknown. The window (and errors) seem to indicate that I am in fact using Final Burn Neo ("FBNeo").
The Neo Geo games are listed under "Consoles" -> "SNK Neo Geo AES" in LaunchBox (not under Arcade).
If I click on one of the roms, I see that RetroArch is the associated emulator (no custom parameters).
If I view the Associated Platforms for my RetroArch emulator in LaunchBox then I see "fbneo_libretro" under the "SNK Neo Geo AES" platform.
There are no status indications (blank).
I have games running from LaunchBox for other consoles that use RetroArch without any issues (e.g., NES, SNES, N64).
To address the previous post with the same issue:
1) The LaunchBox > Tools > Manage > Emulators > RetroArch > "Extract ROM archives before running" setting is unticked.
2) "And that in the "Associated Platforms" tab you have the platform name exactly as you've named it while importing your games"
I did a reimport from a folder named "SNK Neo Geo AES", the platform identified as the same. It matches what is in my associated platforms
as
It seems like to me the issue is:
1) The emulator ROM association is not using Final Burn NEO despite retro arch being associated as described above
2) Launchbox is somehow using the wrong location for the file
3) LaunchBox is expecting the ROM to be different (e.g., unzipped) than RetroArch does.
4) Maybe the spaces in the path are causing issues? ("C:\Users\Bills Office\LaunchBox\Games\SNK Neo Geo AES")
I really would appreciate the help and thank you in advance!!!
