DOS76 said You have to use a .bat file these are the ones I am using. Set the bat up as the emulator and then add which ever platforms you want I have Naomi Naomi 2 Atomiswave @echo off SET STRING=%1 SET STRING=%STRING:.zip=% SET STRING=%STRING:J:\Emulation\Naomi\ROMs\=% echo %STRING% start demul.exe -run=atomiswave -rom=%STRING% @echo off SET STRING=%1 SET STRING=%STRING:.zip=% SET STRING=%STRING:j:\Emulation\Naomi\ROMs\=% echo %STRING% start demul.exe -run=naomi -rom=%STRING% Err...I'm not sure why you need to do any of that. Using the no-space modifier + appropriate command line parameters per platform entry in the emulator settings works just fine.

TONBOX777 said OMG works! Thank you very much , you are my Hero! Happy to help! :D

Okay, uncheck the "use custom command line parameters" in the game entry itself. You don't need it since you have them set in the emulator entry already.

And associated platforms? You have the parameters there?

Can you post a screenshot of your emulator page? I think you may need to use the "no spaces" modifier as well (I think it says something about being "primarily for use with nullDC").

I haven't used Demul with Naomi titles, so I can't really comment there (although I believe what you have is correct, so it may be something in Demul itself), but it definitely works for DC through Launchbox. I believe the launch commands are the same but "dreamcast" so: -run=dreamcast -rom= I have mine setup as a command-line parameter in the emulator entry through, not on a per-game basis. You may want to try that. You should be able to add Demul and then add two separate platforms to associate with it in the platform tab - one for DC and one for Naomi and then add the appropriate command line parameters. Doing it that way means you won't have to enter those commands for every game. I believe you also need to set Demul itself to automatically go fullscreen on game launch in the settings somewhere. Sorry, I can't remember the exact wording/section but I can post screenshots when I get home this evening.

I concur with everything Brad said, although you can also use Imgburn for ripping (or converting), which is free. I've used it quite a bit both for ripping my own discs and converting rips from other formats (mounting an image via Daemon Tools and then using the DT virtual drive as the source for Imgburn and converting to bin+cue) and have had great results with Mednafen. Another thing to note is that Mednafen does support ccd+img+sub in addition to bin+cue. Be aware, however, that it's much pickier than ePSXe when it comes to acceptable rip quality, even if your sheet is correct, and there are no small number of bad rips floating around the interwebs. If a game won't run, first verify that your cue sheet is correct as Brad mentioned. If it isn't, it's possible that you have a bad rip. I've had a number of games that didn't initially run in Mednafen (even with correct cue sheets) that run fine in ePSXe, but worked fine in Mednafen when using a good rip. ePSXe isn't nearly as accurate as Mednafen, however, which is why Mednafen is still better, in my opinion.

Is there some particular reason you haven't updated to 5.5? In any case, you can add it in the section you highlighted, yes. If you have the platform named "PSP" or "Sony PSP" or some such, that's what you need to put in the field underneath "Associated Platform" and if you want that to be the default emulator for that platform, check the "Default Emulator" box.

Here's one for the 3DO. Full gallery here.

Mine was set to my Retroarch system folder. There wasn't a MAME folder in there, so I did some reading and evidently there's a bug that sometimes causes it not to be created, so I created one, then a sub folder named "cfg" and then created a blank file that was named "default.cfg" and that seems to have done the trick. Changes made via the tab menu are now being saved! ...then I had to deal with a weird issue where it kept wanting to pull up the tab menu when I hit the left trigger on my controller. I think I've got it all sorted out now, but apparently that's been a known issue for some time now. Anyway, thanks for the help!

No? How do I do that? Is that a line in one of the config files? If so, which one, and what line? I appreciate the help by the way!

That didn't work for me at all. I'm using the Mame Git core in Retroarch, although I tried Mame 2014 as well. Neither are saving anything that's changed in the tab menu. Nothing is creating/saving cfg files anywhere - not in the retroarch folder/subfolders nor in the folder where I have my actual roms.

@TONBOX777 Can you elaborate a bit more on what you did? I've had this problem as well and would be interested in a solution. My default mappings for MAME in Retroarch work for most games but in the instances where there's something weird that has to be changed I've been using MAMEUI because I ran into the problem you're describing where any changes made via the MAME Tab menu don't actually save in the Retroarch core. The FBA core is nice because it has per-game remapping that you can do in the core options (which I have gotten to work), but the MAME core doesn't have that feature. FBA has it's own set of issues though, such as occasional sound problems and just overall smaller compatibility.

Cadet Stimpy said So you used something such as this (but from C|Net)... Blu-ray setup discs for your HDTV That looks very similar, yes. The one I used is in the special features for T2: Skynet Edition. I believe the original blu ray release came with its own separate disc, but it' built in with the Skynet one. It's actually an extremely useful tool for properly calibrating your TV. Cadet Stimpy said BTW, I like your 'screen-name' (assuming it's a reference to Zombies and beavers - for reasons I may not comprehend ). My home state (Oregon) has a beaver on the back of their state flag, and who isn't intrigued by Zombies? Thanks haha. It actually started out as a stupid not-really-reference to Grim Fandango. I think Zombeaver has a nicer ring to it than Demon Beavers though... so uh... yeah. Also...it's a movie. But I had it first! :( Cadet Stimpy said Anyway, since I lack motivation, on occasion , would you please supply that C|Net link you referred to. Thanks, in advance. The settings can be found here. Cadet Stimpy said I believe Vizio TV's, in general, provide some of the best 'bang for your buck' you can get these days. Exactly. It's not quite as feature rich as some other (significantly more expensive) TVs out there, but I already had all the various peripherals that I needed to compliment it, to the point that those extra features would just be redundant. It's got a stellar picture for the price!

RTings is a pretty good site for the review portion - I used it when shopping for our newest TV. The calibration settings they listed for the TV were complete garbage, however. CNET was much better in that regard. I used the CNET settings as a base and then the THX calibration disc that comes with the Terminator 2 blu ray to do some final tweaking - CNET's settings were pretty spot on while RTings's were pretty garish. It's a Vizio e55-c2 and I'm very happy with it despite a couple quirks.

@craiganderson I've made some platform images that I've got on my imgur. They're in the image thread but not on the Dropbox link.

I'm confused...what's the problem you're having with closing PCSX2 via Launchbox? I use the two in conjunction and haven't had any problems... --nogui and --fullscreen launch paramaters + AHK script to close on ESC works perfect for me

@Jason Interesting... I find myself running into more and more reasons as the days go on to be glad that I haven't switched from 7 yet...

So long as it has it's own dedicated .exe on your computer, you should be able to add it. I think the Xbox app is basically just a wrapper like Steam, Origin, etc. It still has to install somewhere on your computer and as long as it has it's own executable you should be able to add that to Launchbox (not the Xbox app itself). Now, it may or may not require that you're actually logged into the Xbox app to work - if it's anything like Steam or Origin, some games can work standalone and others can't. I know little to nothing about the Xbox app in W10, so take all this with a grain of salt, but Steam games work through Launchbox so I would think you could do the same with these, you'd just need to add the game-specific .exe to Launchbox.

Huh? Sorry, no clue what you're talking about - you'll have to be a little more specific. What games? What platform? What emulator? What is it you're trying to do exactly?

I've never used it, but I believe this is what you're looking for.

@DOS76 I just checked and mine is indeed the European version.

I've wondered about this myself. $50 would be the equivalent of 2.5 years of yearly licenses which seems pretty fair to me. From other software that I've used that work on some type of subscription model, the lifetime option (if there is one) tends to be between 2-3 years worth in price. I think $60 might be pushing it, honestly. Some type of upgrade option for current premium users would be nice too :)

@appollo147 You can only set one default emulator for a platform, but you can add as many usable emulators as you want and can swap them out on a game by game basis. You would just go to Manage Emulators -> Add and then name it whatever you want and direct it to the appropriate exe for that emulator. Then you can right click on the game you want to change emulators on and then go to the emulator tab and choose whatever emulator you want. This is pretty essential for some platforms like Dreamcast where there isn't necessarily a best emulator for every situation (although Demul is still, on average, significantly better than nullDC, there are a few instances where nullDC is better).

No problem! Glad to help! One final note though, based on your image - in the event that you ever want to play PSX games on Retroarch with the Mednafen core, you'll need to use PakkISO on your .ecm files. ePSXe can natively read disc images in .ecm format but Mednafen cannot. ECM is basically just further compression of a disc image and PakkISO is a fast and easy tool for removing that compression. All you have to do is drag your .ecm files onto an .exe that comes with PakkISO called "unecm.exe" and it'll do the rest of the work for you.
