[Settings .xml file is corrupt but no way to get into windows.]

Fort what its worth... I do have Chrome remote access setup.  I opened the "download a file" option that gave me an file manager window that allowed me to access my backup and restore.  It may be time to find a better shutdown option than the red switch on the back...

[bigbox shell enable booting to black screen.]

I just had this exact thing happen.  Did you ever find a solution?

 

[Settings .xml file is corrupt but no way to get into windows.]

So I am running Windows, that bypasses windows log in to go right to big box. 

When I boot I am told  : "It appears that your Launchbox\Data\Settings .xml file is corrupt; Launchbox can't continue. Please try restoring a backup of the file from the Backups folder inside of your Launchbox folder"

Now that I've bypassed the windows shell and bigbox has crashed I cant actually do any debugging steps.   Do I have any good options?
 

[BigBox update and Daphne]

So let me start with saying Daphne worked great prior to the most recent update (That I got today)

Now it opens, and it appears it displays maybe the batch file that I am using to open it?  

This only happens in bigbox, launchbox it works seemlessly on.

Any help would be appreciated.

[6 button windows games]

Just curious what some good games are to play with a 6 button arcade.  Modern obviously, as I'm pretty maxed with emulators and the like.

[How many buttons do I have]

I assume this is covered here... Somewhere? Just no where I could find.

I am tossing buttons onto a 4 player arcade.  Controller, 6 buttons, and then 2 up top for "coin" and "player" select,

When I am importing my mame collection I am given the option to limit games to how many buttons.  Should I be limiting that to 6 since thats the whats intended to be used or 8 cause it is technically 8 buttons?

 

Thanks in advance!

2. Use standalone Mame. RA Mame is crap. 

This was the answer...

[Cannot get Mame games started in LaunchBox]

I may be having an ID10T problem here, but I can't get any Mame games to launch from launchbox using RetroArch to save my life.

I can get NES no problem.  I can open Retro from inside Launchbox and run it from inside there...  But when I try to run it from LB nothing happens.  At all.

Any help would be appreciated!

 

Just before anyone askes...  0.257 and mame current core.
