I travel with my laptop system to and from my Girls house about 2 hours away. Will this eventually get my key kicked even though it's not changing machines?
No, you will be fine.

Looks interesting. As someone who games on both real hardware and emulators there are certainly pros and cons to each.

@Jason Carr Something that has come up in Discord recently is the option for the search in Launchbox to not auto search based on what is typed but instead to wait until the user has pressed the Enter key.
The way it currently is can be problematic for those on slower systems and slow typers.

Whenever possible I use Mame because it supports many systems either the best or on par with the best.
Sorry but this is simply not true, while Mame does emulate a lot of systems most often it is not the best or even close to on par with the best. Yes, sometimes it is and often it is the only choice for oddball systems but for the main stream 8, 16 and 32 bit consoles it barely qualifies as good, the only system it does a respectable job on is the Sega Genesis.
Now I am not opposed to Mames idea and what they are doing but right now they simply are trying to emulate too many systems and do them perfectly (which is a good goal) but too many systems are just left behind in a mediocre state. You might even want to take a look at their own article on what is the "best", more often than not they list other emulators as being the better option while Mames version is "preliminary, good or imperfect."
Given enough time though yes Mame will be even more awesome and emulate all these other systems equally as good or better than anything else out there but their goal is perfection which takes a lot of time and energy.

Are you importing them using the Mame importer ? If so don't do that, it's gonna compare your roms against Mames database and your roms probably don't match it and that would be my guess as to your problem.
If you wanna use Mame as the emulator import them using another emulator first and then bulk edit to change over to Mame after, hopefully Mame likes your roms.
Not sure I would use Mame for the Lynx or 2600, Retroarch has very good cores for both systems.

Look for a mame.ini file and see where it is, it needs to be placed in the main Mame install folder where the executable is.
Your associated platform is whatever you called yours if you didn't use the default which is Aracde
Like I said, I know Mame 161 works because it was a version I have used in the past with Launchbox. It could be possible you are using some oddball offshoot build of Mame that functions differently but if you are using a version compiled by the Mame devs themselves and uploaded to their download site it should work.
-
You could just have a wrong setting in your Launchbox edit emulator window or your associated platform isn't setup properly.
Also if you are using a UI version of Mame copy your mame.ini file from the \ini folder out to the main Mame directory where your Mame executable is located.
-
Mame 161 will work just fine though, I have used in the past with Launchbox without issue.

That looks pretty good, nice thing about shaders is there are a lot of choices so most people can find something that meets their tastes.
-
Take a look at the "crt-fast-bilateral-super-xbr" shader in the \denoisers\ folder, it's available in both the CG and GLSL format.

Check your display settings and make sure your refresh rate is set to 60hz and not 30hz.
Also be aware that anything in 4K is going to have an impact on performance because of how many more pixels have to be rendered. A dedicated graphics card is recommended even for BigBox, especially when rendering everything at 4K. Try lowering your resolution to 1080 for gaming.

Glad it got you up and running.

At least with the X5 model of the Genesis Everdrive is a reasonable price, the X7 is unnecessary for normal users, its for developers.
The SD2Snes is definitely up there in price but I can see why it is the price it is, it has an FPGA board inside of it to emulate all of the special chips minus the FX chips which supposedly are going to get emulated with a firmware update in the future. Also to be fair for the price of an SD2Snes cart that would only get you 2 top tier and semi rare games since some of those are 100$ and up each.
-
Cool, yeah i've thought about buying a Genesis Everdrive cart several times I may just have to do it sometime.
I wouldn't mind picking up a SNES and an SD2Snes cart though the price on that starts to get a bit much for my liking.
The N64 one is pretty cool, it even has its own built in NES emulator but its emulation quality is not so good, but worth checking out.

Now to track down a few more controllers that work well, at the moment I just have my one original gray N64 controller that suffers from the loose center stick issue.
These are supposed to be pretty good and have a great layout:

Ahh, I must have missed that post.
I remember using Raine last a long time ago way back in the olden days of Nesticle, Genecyst and Callus.

Good to hear you got it working, I think you're the first person I have seen mention anything about Raine.

Ahh, thanks for the response, didn't know you were registered here on the forums, welcome.

You don't need a bat file at all.

They don't have to be, the 2 games I have for it are cue + bin and they work fine using Mame.
