[Sega Genesis\Mega Drive 3D Cartridges]

Hi I'm not sure if this is the right form to post this in

but I was curious if anyone knew any websites for 3D Sega genesis Carts

or how to make them myself,

I've been trying to make them using Insofta cover commander but they always look wrong. I have front and back images for my games but I actually don't have a side image.

the best I was able to do is I use VMware as a xp computer and most of my 3.x games work there. so in launch box theres a xp computer Icon

[Spine art]

Hi all 

I wasn't sure where to post this but hopefully this is ok, I've reccently been uploading old pc games from my childhood onto launchbox (reader rabbit, cluefinders, magic school bos) 

the problem I've run into is I can find back and front images if not on google, ebay and amazon usaully have someone selling it. but I can't find the spines I've been using Moby games to search but mostly I have to create it from scratch, and it's not the best.

does anyone know any sites that store spines?

The extra command line parameter would be -fullscreen.  Which would be the same as setting in the .conf file fullscreen=true.

What all settings did you change in your custom conf file to get your aspect ratio perfect?  Can you share you conf file?   Here's the one I use for The Lion King.  dosbox.conf

 

Probably should have asked before.. are you using the built in DOSBox feature of LaunchBox or did you setup a 'new emulator' in LaunchBox and have you DOS games use that emulator?

Not trying to "beat a dead horse" here, but you should be able to achieve the best of both worlds. Just needs the proper finese

I can give you the file if you want but i gotta warn you, i ran into some bugs. recently it seems the game will start and run fine. but if you you try to go to the 'options' (eg change difficulty or controls ) the selecter will go nuts up down right left and you won't be able to get to the game, so you have to quickly press start but on the bright side i got it into fullscreen thanks for the help there.

I'm gonna work on it some more but if you're still interested I'll send you a screenshot of the edited file, with the added bugs it is definitely not as easy to run as before 

 

To answer your question yes it is a DOSBox i experiment with so the conf file is there wouldn't touch the LaunchBox one it might mess with all the rest of my dos games

Yeah i made a custom conf file, i got the aspect ratio perfect but at the price of starting off windowed, but if i hit alt+ enter i get it full-screen 

 

I was hoping there were so extra cmds i could set to force it into full-screen 

 

I'm considering which i prefer but I'll probably go back to the default

Thx I'll try that i get it full but i have to alt + enter when it windows 

Oh well, guess I'll have to accept it lol

Hi so I've been trying to run this one game (lion king) in1080x1920 resolution. it's always a bit short and it bugs me as if I run it without launch box it opens fine. so I finally managed to make a custom dos conf file that would work only problem now is it starts in a small window mode first, I mean I was born in the 80s so I don't get bogged down by small inconvenieces. but I want it working for when my daughter eventually (well hopefully) starts gaming.

 

My question is with how to make a game run fullscreen in launch box using custom application command- line parameters

Hello everyone, I am soooo new to this.

I cannot manage to add/install/play old windows games in to LaunchBox.

I need help to find an emulator for old windows games like commandos behind enemy lines and so .. also it will be great to mention what else I need to know

I have those old games on CDs and when I run the installer on windows it says what is in the attached capture.

Thanks a lot

I think you're having a windows 10 problem, try opening the cd folder inside will be the .exe file.  Properties>compatibility, then use xp service pack, i do have this game running i can check my specs tomorrow 

[Gamecube controller]

Hi 

So this isn't really a launchbox problem, but you guys have been the most helpful in my quest for most streamlined gameplay.

I recently tried to set up a gamecube controller on my windows 10, but connect is all i get, in the devices and printers section, it's still under the unspecified driver I've tried updating it as well. I'm using a Nintendo adapter with 4 ports, I've looked online but everyone seems to use either a wiiu adapter or a 3rd party one, is a new adapter the fix or am i missing something?

[Pc games aspect ratio]

Hi everyone 

I had a 1024 x 768 monitor and was able to run in full screen for all my pc and console games 

I've recently upgraded to 1020 x 1920 size, and after some tinkering I've be able to fix my console and dos games. But i can't do anything with my older pc games, newer ones like civilization iv or age of wonders 2 have customization, but the older ones have no option at all.

 

My question is, is there an emulator or program that can have my older pc games go into 1080x1920 resolution?

Typically when we see reports like these it's because the user has a Hide setting on they forgot about and already have the games imported and LaunchBox refuses to import them twice. You can go to View > Hide Games and make sure none of those sub menu items are checked.

Thanks i deleted the old file which wasn't working and added another one of the same game.

Thanks for your help

Trying to figure out how to use the pcxsr as the playstation emulation as it does the full specs for a 1980 x1080 screen. But it only opens the app, not that it's bad it still easy enough but i thought i could have that smooth transition 

[Playstation 1 (bin/cue/chd)]

So this is a recent problem I've been having 

I can no longer import any ps1 bin/cue or chd files, (isos still work)

About many 3 months ago i was able to import them fine and they ran i checked if it was just retroarch but if i go through retroarch they run fine they just wont upload to launch box anymore, i tried using my backup but it only went back 2 months 

I'm not sure what to do now, any advice would be helpful
