Did anyone end up helping you? I don't know how to get some of these games to work.. Its like the main screen of the c64.. I do shift lock run stop as I did when I owned the c64 but not sure how to get games to load beyond that?

Ok so it does seem to be a permissions issue. It says "Android is not granting read and write permissions to the folder you've specified, the selected folder cannot be used without read and write permissions" Is there some way I can grant permission? I had a look in settings and the app is not being denied and I have moved launchbox to the sd card root directory.

I can certainly appreciate that. For clarity I have an AYN ODIN PRO. I have moved the launchbox folder out of the Android/data folder as you mentioned. I just need some clarity on where to point the launchbox app to from options>data folder. So far any folder selection results in just showing the generic platforms (android/all games/recently played).. All my platforms must be somewhere. Thanks

Wow I was losing my mind trying to work out why this wouldn't launch and as with you both it was the same issue.

Are you saying the way outlined below is not the correct way/location to move launchbox from internal memory to the sd card? I used this method but can't see all my existing installed platforms.. I have tried pointing to the new location via options>data folder but it still doesnt show all my platforms. Thanks

So no Game & Watch platform yet?

I have resolved this issue; the black screen to nowhere after selecting a game in LB just needs a different core selection. The other issue where the selection would end up opening RA, trying to load (for a split second) and then bouncing back to RA was the RA app was still open and deep in its menu and needed to be quit before launching from LB. I even managed to drop all my bios files into the system folder and that appears to be looking good too. Thanks for your help on that. I do have another query; I have all my gameplay videos but don't know where to add them.. can someone point me to where I need to add these? Thanks again.

Btw since I only just purchased LB I have now installed it on my RP2+ the exact same way and there is no issue.. so that would suggest I'm doing the basics (right version of RA and basic options) correctly. Hope something can be ascertained from that? Thanks again.

I have tried both mame full set on and off during the adding platform process and unfortunately neither had any effect on the current issue. I downloaded every core possible in retroarch and pointed to many different cores in launchbox during my testing but to no avail. LB goes to retroarch in most cases but just doesn’t launch the game.. it seems to just stutter there is an issue but with all cores there and retroarch being able to launch games when not using LB as the front end. when I go to RA website there are many download options but I am downloading android version file: retroarch.aarch64.apk which installs fine, I give folder access and again runs roms fine but just not with LB as the front end. Thanks for your help, and again I’m keen to get this working as I really want a frontend for this Odin and LB looks great.

No.. in an attempt to get things working I toggled that option just in case and that didn’t change anything. Thx

That makes sense, I should have mentioned it was while loading mame/arcade roms.. hadn’t moved to any other platforms. It’s odd that everything works fine when launching from retroarch but while trying to launch from LB it’s not having it despite having all mame/alpha etc cores downloaded.. I have updated all parts of retroarch too. It will be good to sort this out as LB looks great. I could add video a bit later if permissible/possible.

Hello, Im having this same problem on my Odin Pro.. build my roms/platform etc properly but when I go to run a game it either hangs on a black screen or ends up in the sideloaded retroarch64 app but doesnt go further. Ive tried all the basic trial and error stuff and im just out of ideas. Any help would be appreciated. Thx
