I just moderated a few things but one suggestion add a control so we can maybe skip something and see the next item without rejecting or accepting. I came across a DOS game that they wanted to add a genre for as it didn't have one before but I have no experience with the game at all. I did accept it but afterwards thought since I didn't know about the game and that I should have been able to pass on choosing to do anything but been able to move on to the next item.

Not that I know of. You can just change them on a need to basis or completely remove them and import your new files all of your data and images would be associated with the new file without having to download them again as long as you don't delete the folders. -
I tried to remove the cfg files before I posted but it didn't help. The laptops from 07 it works pretty great and runs Windows 10 like a dream I'm just stumped as to why RA won't run.

I'm trying to install RetroArch on a laptop that I have that has a Core2Duo T8300 but every time I try to open it crashes this is a vanilla install that hasn't ever been opened yet so none of the settings have been changed. I've tried both the 86x and 64 versions and they both just crash every time. I searched for the system requirements but didn't see them on the RA website.

I should but its just not in my budget right now the $273 rent for my storage space is due my Best Buy card has a few items that I have to put down some cash by June or the interest kicks in and my favorite phone carrier Verizon wants there monthly payment too. Some time the real world gets in the way of your hobbies but I'm sure everyone understands that.

I'm having a blast playing Super Mario 3D I mapped the keyboard to my 360 controller using JoyToKey because for some reason XPadder crashes every time I try to finish up a new controller layout I don't know what the issue is but its pissing me off. The game has some issues with some of the shadows but for the most part it looks and plays great. That said the UI is very basic with no polish barely any settings and if there is a way to start in full screen I've yet to find it. Super Mario 3D so far is very playable I've run Wind Waker and Mario Kart 8 but that was before I had mapped the controller so no playing experience I know when I started a few races in Mario Kart earlier there was some lag going into the first turn and that was with using the file from my local directory and my server. I don't want anyone to think that I'm saying this emulator is great because I'm not but it also doesn't totally suck either its worth checking out. I've tested it on two computers and they handled it rather well.

I personally like to put clear logos when available in my front folder I have my Sega Model 2 emulator using all clear logos and they look really sharp. I agree with the option especially for Arcade games to be able to choose which folder to be displayed in place of front. To be honest though for my clear logos that I used I went into my LaunchBox folder D:\Emulators\LaunchBox\Images\Sega\Sega Model 2\Clear Logos and copied all of the files out of it and pasted them in the front folder then I deleted all of the flyers and ran the download metadata and images wizard in LB it was really easy when it comes down to it.

Yeah I have those 3 and have already been testing Wind Waker today (I loved the original even with the cartoonish graphics). It takes forever to unzip or unrar these games though. It's been an hour and five minutes since I started unpacking Twilight Princess. Well to add insult to injury Twilight Princess is in rpx file format and crashes the emulator right away.

I've always been a fan this is their 1st console that I haven't owned and I've never owned any of their handhelds either of course if they were to release a new Zelda game I would be forced to go buy the console but they haven't seen fit to do so yet.

Thanks for that Brad that is some useful information there. I was afraid to delete any iso's I hadn't tested first but now I see that that isn't a concern. -
I have it launching through LaunchBox but can't get it to start fullscreen neither -fullscreen or --fullscreen work. I don't even know if it supports command line or not at this point. Super Mario 3d looks like a cool ass game though.

Ok I have Cemu up and running and it is running pretty good for me it runs with the CPU at around 50% I've only test 2 games and currently they are running over my network and not installed locally on my computer so while there has been a few slow downs they are mostly running at a good speed. It is a little more complicated then just getting the games and running them though you need to know the WiiU common key and each game key here is a link to a google spreadsheet page that has a list of the game keys and another to a reddit page that has the common key and a little info to get you started. I'm testing currently on my i7 4770. Another cool thing was that if it asks you to type anything the emulator recognizes the key presses from your keyboard for entering names and such.

Hit a snag today with RA I set it up on one of my tablets and the major issue I'm having is my Ipega gamepad doesn't work very well with it. The controller is usually very good with Nestopia and Kega Fusion but it just isn't working good at all. My other tablet also uses the Ipega gamepad but it is a telescoping one turning the tablet into a handheld I copied RA over to it but need to charge it before I start playing I was looking at the input settings but don't really know which ones may benefit me if I was to change them. If not I would need to look into getting another gamepad that uses Bluetooth I have a ps3 controller and 3 Ouya controllers I know the Ouya controllers work in Windows but I could never get the PS3 one to work.

WOW! I have an insane PS2 library at around 3.58 TBs so this could probably save me an insane amount of space. Did you test the new files and make sure they worked. -
I have a GeForce GTX 960 with an i7 4700 and 2 computers with GTX 750 TI's and nice new i5 6500's to go with them so unless you need like a super powerful machine I should be ok to run whatever on those 3 computers.

I haven't gotten as far as the shaders as of yet. I'm just getting cores up and running and trying to get bios although in my limited experience so far that bios files I already have renamed to what RA is looking for seem to be working fine for me. Quick question for Sega CD do you need all 3 bios' to play different regional games? (I'm assuming yes but figure I'd ask 1st)

I actually never use the filters but I know from taking classes on Access and MySQL that being able to employ multiple filters is a powerful tool for sorting data in DB applications.

For the longest time I didn't want to use RetroArch at all. In my mind it was over complicated and I didn't even want to bother learning how to use it. Then I saw Jason's video awhile ago and I found it wasn't as complicated as I had thought. Using the video I was able to get the snes9x core up and running relatively quickly but the things was when I used it for SNES I didn't really see any improvement that made me think that it was worth looking into any further so I put it on the back burner. Then I started having issues with TurboEngine for emulating TG16CD/PCECD games and decided to try RA again and this time I had it working and performing better than the stand alone I was using so finally I found a use for RetroArch. Then I got PC-FX running in RA so now I had two uses for RA even if the PC-FX uses are very limited still nice to have going. Then I was checking out NeoGeo Pocket games using NeoPop and having issues with it changing my resolution, having black bars on the side in full screen and just overall not looking good so I tried RA once again and was impressed with it over the standalone. That got me thinking so I know I had issues with how Handy displayed so I downloaded the Handy core for RA and once again RA shined through above and beyond the stand alone. So I thought of other emulators that didn't display the best VBJin for Virtual Boy tried the VB core for RA another instant convert. Wonder Swan another one. Finally today I decided to try the Virtual Jaguar core and it looks better than Virtual Jaguar stand alone too. So to keep it in perspective while no I haven't replaced Kega Fusion, Nestopia, ePSXe ,MAME or SNES9X because there isn't any reason to these are all great stand alone emulators that don't have the problems that the others I've mentioned earlier do but it is the lesser emulators that RA shines and out performs anything else that is available to us the users. So if you are like me and you don't want to use RetroArch just because I urge you to stop being stubborn and try something new. Is it maybe a little harder to setup then some other emulators? Yes it is. I'm not going to lie it is somewhat harder and less intuitive than many emulators at first. I think that without Jason's video I never would have benn able to get started because I would have never thought that z and x would be the keys to control the settings. Despite this I think that with the knowledge and resources of this community that any one could learn how to use this brilliant emulator, trust me it is well worth it.

That's funny. I'm curious as to when you say you share it with your parents do you mean over the same network of at a remote location? If you are spread out Plex is the ultimate sharing application for media. I have my server shared with both my brothers a few of my cousins and numerous friends you can control which libraries they can see and even if you are in the same home and sharing a computer Plex allows you to set up separate user accounts so no one messes up your show queue. It's pretty easy to use and setup you can resume watching any video on any computer or device and Plex has apps for everything imaginable (if you had a wifi enabled toaster Plex would probably be on it). If you are comfortable using LaunchBox in this manner though thats all good to each his own but for media Plex is a step above everything out there in my opinion.

I checked like 4 different machines and I don't have that on any of them.
