Nevermind... I fixed it... I instead of using the names that are there I added their extended titles to resolve. Ar tonelico Melody of Elemia.chd Ar tonelico Melody of Metafalica.chd And that resolved the issue. I also noticed the "don't combine games with same title" option as well and that did work to put them both in separate games but it named them both the same game just made a duplicate.

Okay I have 2 separate games I am importing for PS2. "Ar Tonelico.chd" and "Ar Tonelico 2.chd". I have go into the editor and removed the "extra" application but all it does is reimport the first game as an application of the second game. They are a series but they are not the same game and their own self contained games. How do I force Launch Box to stop treating them as multi-disk for the same game?

Okay, this is good to know. Thank you!

I have having the same problem. I have found you can go into the Images configuration and assign the image you want to display as "Box - Front" but since there is no way to mass set this on multiple at the same time... this is not a feasible workaround. One would think that there would be a pecking order to which images get displayed if there is no "Box - Front" picture. I have considered writing a PowerShell script to move the missing ones into the folder... but I hate doinking with items under the hood when they are supposed to be managed by the Front End for us. Wonder if they need someone to just do TLC on the front end for Quality of Life issues. I can think of several improvements to add already.

DAGNABBIT! You are right! Doing it your way is better. I didn't even notice you could do this! Thanks again for the help. I changed the Core just as you said in the "Associated Platforms" page to the one that works and WABAM! It's working that way. I guess the "default" which is "fbalpha_libreto" is not so hot anymore. "fbneo_libreto" is the one that works for me. Thanks fer all the help fellas!

Thank you for the help! I figured out how to "fix" the issue. I created a New emulator configuration and applied it to my Neo Geo Library... for those interested the specific details follows. Emulator Name: "RetroArch Neo Geo" Default Command Line Parameters: "-fullscreen -L cores\fbneo_libretro.dll" Okay I see... it's not that emulation is "active" as in something is running, but that emulation is "active" context in which the game will run. Okay... thank you for taking the time to explain this to me. I am definitely thinking about buying a license now... this was very fast support! Once you started explaining a couples of this my old gears started turning and churning the cobwebs... the room is now full of smoke but I did get my original issue resolved! Cheers!!!

Thank you for the help. I definitely make sure the BIOS are sorted... like I said, if go into RetroArch directly and run the game it runs it just that LaunchBox is not Launching it correctly for some reason. I did get the PS2 games to run now... I just decided to reinstall LaunchBox from scratch. But still having the problem with Neo Geo Roms. I am assuming I am doing something wrong and just need to get a little more familiar. On a side note... I get a note during game editing that states "Some fields have been disabled because Emulation is active." But I don't have anything running other than the console. Shutting down LaunchBox and reopening without launching any games does not resolve. Restarting the computer also does not resolve this.

Okay, that explains it... you are correct I do not have a "Configuration Path" defined for the game. Since this is a console game I assume that is not required and not something I should be concerned with? I still am not able to get LaunchBox to start any Neo Geo or Playstation 2 games (edit) When I try to launch the games "nothing happens" is my exact problem it was not until I hit the "configuration" button that game me the error and I found my way here. It can launch NES/SNES and I am using the same options when importing my libraries. If I open RetroArch directly and select the core and content manually the games will play that way. I have went back and changed default emulators and I have specified the PCSX2 Libreto core during import as well... but the games will still not launch. I have been editing the Platforms but I am not seeing where I can select the core to use. I assume I should start looking at the command line argument documentation for RetroArch? While I am old school with emulators (pre-2000) and I would like to get away from managing all of them myself. I am definitely interested in getting LaunchBox to manage my library instead. So far the experience has been pretty good, but any little setting I can change to my my experience as fluid as possible would be great.

I am having the same problem. This is affecting every Neo Geo game and Playstation 2 game I try to play. My Entire NeoGeo/PS2 Library But it is working on Sega Games and NES/SNES Libraries. (Edit: Sorry I forgot to add that mine is occuring when I click the ... elipisis to configure the game) I am assuming this is some odd configuration error. I am new to this so it could be my error in some fashion I just don't know yet. The games will play if I manually configure another Emulator... so I assume this is something specific to retroarch integration I am on version 13.6 This is a new installation of Launch Box & I chose the "Allow LaunchBox to download and manage RetroArch" option.
