That's up to you and if it makes sense in your setup or not.

Yeah just install it on the PC and set it up and try it out, given your specs posted in your original post it should be fine though. Launchbox is the desktop "management" mode though many people such as myself actually use it in this mode 99% of the time anyways. BigBox is the "cabinet / htpc" mode where its controlled using a joystick or controller. This is the mode and exe you will use in your cabinet and it's a part of the same download, no separate download at all. Ignore the Launchbox.Next.exe file, that is a part of the current beta and will be replacing the standard Launchbox.exe in the future when it's ready.

I don't think there is but you can check their documentation and see https://mednafen.github.io/documentation/

Demons Crest MSU is finally done and uploaded. Patch and audio tracks are available in this thread here : http://www.zeldix.net/t1510-demon-s-crest-patch-released-need-pcm

Excuse me ? Why are you telling me to chill out ? All I said was without knowing or ability to see any details of his system it's impossible to tell what the problem could be. It could be any number of things including the things I listed. I never said that any of the things I suggested as possible problems were in fact definite, I only pointed out possibilities and anything at all would merely be guessing and speculation. Why would you say this is nonsensical ? It is well established that this has become a very real problem nowadays ? Bad ads on even a legitimate website can install bitcoin mining malware on systems. I don't know if this is the problem and I never said that it definitively was the problem, just as you don't know for a fact it isn't.

No worries, I completely forgotten all about it and can't even remember why I banned you, lol.

Ok it looks like you were banned, I removed the ban.

Very strange, I went to generate a new non expiring invite and it's exactly the same as the one posted above and that's even the exact same as the one originally posted by Brad. Just tested the invite with another person and it worked for him.

Nope, you haven't been banned and as far as I can tell the invite link above posted by me should still be working.

Set all your base settings in the UI or the ini file and just use the command line genesis -cart I don't use Mess or Mame for many consoles but I do have some setup and I just use a separate install of Mame just for consoles (personal organizational reasons) and set all my settings in the mame.ini file. This works really well for me and just my personal opinion here but I would recommend using Retroarch for the main line popular 8,16 and 32 bit consoles, these cores a better than the current state of Mame console emulation.

Pitfall The Mayan Adventure has been done and released. http://www.zeldix.net/t1644-pitfall-the-mayan-adventure

This isn't an either / or situation. Right now Launchbox Next is just there as a preview and testing but eventually it will replace the regular Launchbox with all the functionality it always had as well as the new features that are coming.

BigBox has it's own controller automation options, set it up in BigBox mode as well.

If someone knows how to get rid of Cortana i'd love to hear about it and how to do it, cause dat bitch need to go

Unfortunately Cortana cannot be removed but check this site for instructions for OneDrive https://techjourney.net/disable-or-uninstall-onedrive-completely-in-windows-10/

PleasureDome is your best bet.

Then it means there's an incompatibility with your roms and the core. Unfortunately the only thing I can suggest to you is to get another set of roms.

Without sitting in front of your computer to look at certain things it could be several different things causing problems. It could be a virus. It could be that you have a bitcoin mining malware on your system causing problems. It could be some other software causing a conflict.

The multiple emulators is probably the easiest but would require more drive space. But yeah both methods are less than desirable.

Retroarch for several reasons: 1. Launches seamlessly. 2. Less clutter in your emulators window in LB. 3. Doesn't require any funky extras like AHK scripts to work properly. 4. Has the best emulation for the main 8, 16 and 32 bit consoles. There are so many reason to use it I could keep going on with other reasons but I won't, it's just so good for so many reasons that to me it makes no sense to use other emulators unless the Retroarch core itself has a significant flaw or the stand alone version has something extremely significant making it better than the relevant core.

And this is for people who choose to not use RocketLauncher.

Yeah it appears to be a Windows 7 thing. I just updated my HTPC Launchbox to the latest beta and I get the same large Retroarch icon in the right click menu.

I'll add it to the list just for you then

Retroarch and the FBA core does not require CHD files, mine work just fine without them. To load them in Retroarch itself you will want to load RA > Load Core > Load Content and browse to your CPS3 rom folder and load a rom zip to test, sfiii3.zip for example.
