The different systems that have the filter applied do not have the same core. PSX, Nintendo, and Game Boy all have this problem.

So I started using a gameboy filter and palette for gameboy games and everything worked right for awhile. Now this filter applies by default to every game in several systems when using RetroArch. Thankfully I can go into the RetroArch menu and turn off the filter manually for every game that is loaded, but of course this is undesirable. I tried several fixes I could find in Google but this problem persists. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I noted that every time I start a game, it says “configuration override loaded“. Maybe this has something to do with it?

I’d like to upgrade RetroArch in LaunchBox but I don’t want anything to go wrong. I’ve only recently managed to grasp what RetroArch actually is. One other question. How does one set up filters and shaders in MAME? i’d like to use something that makes the screen look like a real arcade screen. Thanks 😊

Ok. What emulator would you recommend for multi-disc games for PS2? I tried 2048_libretro in RetroArch and it didn’t work properly. I also tried checking “use m3u playlists” when using PCSX2 and got an error message when launching a multi-disc PS2 game. Also, I set up the PSX and Saturn emulators as instructed in the previous post's video. Is there any way to verify that disc switching will actually work when it's time to switch discs in the game?

I found a number of sites by searching on google that had information about using games that have multiple discs. I also found this video and I noticed that he doesn’t make mention of anything like .PBP files or .m4a files. His method of accessing different discs seems straightforward enough, but how would it actually work? When I am prompted to switch discs, do I just save and then open the game in the next disc in LaunchBox?

Is there a way to mimic the Virtual Boy’s 3D stereoscopic graphics using 3D glasses? I’m using RetroArch and I remember there was a menu for creating a 3D effect. Thanks 😊 edit: sorry, I just saw that there was another forum for emulation questions. A moderator can move this thread. edit 2: So I found out that you can use a pair of anaglyph 3D glasses in the Virtual Boy emulator that RetroArch uses called beetle. I also saw that beetle supports other types of 3D glasses as well. Does anyone have experience with the other types?

Well, I favorited several games, but I don’t know where I can access the favorites. Any help would be appreciated.

I’m curious if you upgrade to a newer version of MAME and a newer version of the MAME complete ROM set Is there any way to keep your favorites and controller configurations? Thanks 😊

I got my Wiimote and Dolphinbar working for MAME light gun games but I can only configure the controls when running directly in MAME, not through LaunchBox. When I try to configure the controls in LaunchBox, it doesn’t let me. For instance, it doesn’t let me map the trigger button on the Wiimote. Admittedly, this isn’t the end of the world, I can just use MAME without LaunchBox. But still, I’d like the convenience of launching it in LaunchBox, plus doing so gives me the bezels and favorites. I hope somebody can help me with this 😊

Bezels don’t work for me in zombie raid but they do work in the other arcade games I’ve tried. What do you mean by “enable the screen overlay and save it in retroarch itself“?

Retro808, you nailed it! I scraped only the necessary graphics and set up Image Priorities. Every game that I’ve seen, and I’ve looked through quite a few, is now appearing correctly. Thank you everyone for your input and giving me the tools I need to get it all working correctly! 👍👍😎

Here's a better example JayK2K, what do you mean by adding the files manually? JoeViking245, I tried what you said with Akazukin, one of the blank games. It already had a LaunchBox DB ID #. I scraped some images under Media -> Images. Here's what I have: Unfortunately the game is still blank. I really like LaunchBox and Big Box so hopefully we can figure out something. EDIT: Ok, I downloaded images for another blank game, Alpha One, THIS time, the game is no longer blank. An odd thing about it though is that it only seems to want to download every check box under Media -> Images so I went ahead and deleted the images I didn't want. I hope this gives you some clues as to what to do

After migrating a large amount of content to a different drive (bad idea) certain games won't scrape. See "Addometer Calculator" below There's plenty of other games that are blank too. It's a MAME Arcade Full Set btw. I've tried deleting all the games and re-importing. I've tried scraping one of the blank ones with everything checked, still nothing. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling LaunchBox. I don't know if there's actually a solution to this problem. Maybe it's just a bug in LaunchBox? Thanks for reading.

Ok. Can you please tell me how to re-scrape? I tried using “update metadata and media for all games” and now unfortunately every game on each platform now is blank (like the screenshots I posted). Hopefully I didn’t screw anything up.

Ok. I just walked through the importer and saw that “advertisement flyer – back” and “advertisement flyer – front” were not checked. This was the default setting so that’s why I used it when I first imported the games. Should I delete and re-import all the games with “advertisement flyer – back” and “advertisement flyer – front” checked? If so, should I right-click “Arcade” hit delete and say yes to the warning that follows? Thank you for your help, I’m glad it’s such an easy fix.

To import the roms I used Tools -> Import -> MAME Arcade Full Set... As for where I was pulling images, I don't know. Doesn't it just download them all automatically? It was a fresh build, I didn't have a MAME rom set previously installed. I got the rom set from Pleasuredome (as per the instructions at the beginning of the thread). Everything seems to be working perfectly aside from this problem. Do I need an EmuMovies account for it to work properly? Thanks! T

I just imported the MAME ROM set version 0.260 Into LaunchBox but most of the games don’t have their cover art. What do you make of this? 🧐

Ok thanks

Hello! I don’t have very much space on the drive that launch box/big box is saved on. I have a couple other drives that are much bigger. Is there a way I can save themes and all downloadable content to a different drive? Thanks.
