Figured it out! Launchbox kept spitting out the old plugin renderer!!!!! What kept throwing me off was the ZiNc emulator launched games just fine on it's own. My old Zinc install worked but that's because it used the new renderer. I replaced the old install with the new one because it offered a full rom set! In so doing it eliminated the old renderer. I'm sorry I didn't see this sooner. Thanks for all your help. LB can be a picky s.o.b.

The sfex section is barebones because after it failed I reinstalled the rom. Once everything is working again I'll re-add the meta data. Here are the screen grabs!

Feels like I'm missing something, I removed the bat file and went with your method. When I boot the game I get a command line start as per usual however the game failed to start. Where did I go wrong?

Np! The syntax I used is as follows: @echo off cd /d "C:\Users\rando\Documents\Zinc" (Replace with your actual path) zinc.exe 2 As you may know Zinc launches roms based off the number, the number two signifies the Street Fighter EX rom. I put the rom name after the executable.

Greetings, I have developed affinity for my Zinc emulator. I am aware that MAME also supports Zinc roms with superior compatibility, through troubleshooting I hypoth that Zinc exclusively accepts controllers without dual-thumbsticks, so no Xbox or PlayStation. It gets picky if a 2nd analog thumbstick is introduced. Can anyone confirm this? Anyway, I enjoy the emulator for it's graphics plugins and nostalgia (let me know if there's a version of Mame with better graphical plugins though? I'm open to it!). Alright onto the primary inquiry at hand! I learned a ton about Launchbox these past few days, for example I learned how to launch a single Zinc game from a single bat file. But having loads of bat files in the root of my Zinc folder or elsewhere looks kind of tacky (making bat files for each rom). Using a fresh bat file is there a command line argument I can use that will launch each game that I click-on and then when I'm done playing shutdown the emulator? The closest I came to this is one of the commands I gleaned off of google, even then the closest I got is to launch a set of games in a strict queue list. No matter what rom I clicked on the first in the command was SFEX, Rival Schools after and so fourth and so on. I'd like to have a properly curated bat file that takes care of game launching to avoid having to create multiple ones, as that is rather be tedious. How to accomplish such a task? If someone could hook me up with a command that gets this done, I will be eternally grateful. Keep in mind this question is for Launchbox only as I have zero issues finding a game list in the Zinc frontend. However I want LB it looks more organized plus I got the other emus in there.
