Hi - I'm a n00b and this is my first post - sorry if this is something obvious (I hope so!) - THANK YOU for reading this and any suggestions!
PROBLEM: I can't seem to get Atari 2600 ROMs to launch via LaunchBox/BigBox.
MY SETUP:
LaunchBox 12.14 (Licensed) on Windows 10 (clean install on fresh machine)
RetroArch 1.10.3 - installed via LaunchBox import ROM wizard
2 Atari 2600 ROMS (PacMan and Kaboom) - both zipped
ISSUE DESCRIPTION:
Start LaunchBox
Select an Atari 2600 game and click 'play'
Observe a quick spinning cursor and then nothing happens
TROUBLESHOOTING:
Tested with multiple ROMs - same issue
Tested different RA cores in LB (Stella & Stella 2014) - Stella=>same issue; Stella 2014=> black screen
Tested other RetroArch cores/ROMs in LB (i.e. GameBoy/Tetris, NES/Super Mario) - games load and play OK
Tested ROMs with RetroArch directly - games load and play OK
Tested ROMs with differnent cores in RetroArch directly (Stella & Stella 2014) - games load and play OK in RA directly
Installed LaunchBox/RetroArch fresh on 3 computers - same exact behaviors on all 3
Tested launching from command line - games load and play OK
