Yeah, I asked Jason about exporting a set of roms from a playlist, and hopefully he does it or someone can make a plugin for it.

You can give the playlist to a friend but what I am talking about is more than that. I actually asked @Jason Carr and he said he could do it and hopefully its's something he decides to do sooner rather than later.

Yeah the Mario pack as well as the Kung Fu and Nuts & Milk are "interesting" let's just say they aren't something I personally like. Those along with the Mega Man ones are the publicly available but there is the Metroid and Zelda 2 packs which are not but like pretty sweet looking.

It seems the Darius Twin one has a 1.0 release now. Also it looks like Mario All Stars got got a change of music so it's not so bad.

If your games load in RA on its own it will work in Launchbox. If you are 100% certain your platform name and command line parameter is correct and pointing to the correct core then maybe you got the "extract rom" box checked.

Have you changed the emulator for all your games ? Select all the games in the platform with Control + A then open the bulk edit too with Control + E, then change the emulator to Retroarch.

Double check your platform names and associated platform command line parameters for typos and loading the core you are wanting to use.

Good to hear you found a suitable solution.

Yeah, perfectly understandable but in the future if you ever update your rom set just keep in mind that split or non merged is the preferred way to go for Launchbox.

Split and non merged are the recommended rom sets to use.

It's been a long while since I have used the stand alone version of FBA but I remember it being a pain to get working properly with Launchbox and I no longer have it installed to do any testing. I suggest switching over to Retroarch and its FBA core, it's much easier to deal with and works great.

It's in the Online Updater now too, you probably have to update the core info files using the Online Updater as well.

I picked up a CRT from the early 2000s a year ago for 10$, a nice little 20" Toshiba with support for S-Video and Component. Got my Genesis, N64 and 2600 hooked up to it.

It works perfectly fine on 7 and 8, I use it on an older PC turned into an HTPC with Windows 7 and its fine.

Unfortunately most themes are designed for 1080p 16:9 displays so your choices are limited. But of course you can make your own or maybe sweet talk one of the theme makers into making one for you

Thankfully replacing the audio is not that difficult at all, just find a track you like, convert it to pcm and name it accordingly and drop it in the folder replacing the one you want to replace.

Yeah the sleep time could need to be changed based on individual computer speeds which would have an effect on load times and whatnot, glad it works for you.

Ahh fair enough, unfortunately though I don't have any experience with 1964 in recent years or with Launchbox. Hopefully someone has and can provide some useful information for you.

Launchbox will work on a CRT but you will ideally want a them for it that is designed for them. This one may work I know there was some discussion about a theme for 4:3 aspect ratio but for the life of me I cannot find that thread right now.

What version of Windows are you using ? I have read people say that Windows 10 has issues with Daemon Tools but I can't confirm that since I haven't used it all since I installed Windows 10. I used the bat file with Windows 7 and 8 without issues, it just auto mounted and unmounted disks.

You could try this for mounting and unmounting disk images. I used this bat file as the emulator exe back when I used SSF for Saturn emulation and it worked great. @echo off set game=%1% set daemon="C:\Program Files (x86)\DAEMON Tools Lite\DTLite.exe" set emu="H:\Emulation\Emulators\SSF\SSF.exe" %daemon% -mount 0, %game% start /wait "" %emu% %daemon% -unmount 0 Obviously change out the path to the SSF.exe to your emulator of choice. I kept the bat file in the SSF folder where the exe was just for organization but you could probably put it anywhere you like and then in Launchbox you point your emulator to the bat file instead of the exe itself. The bat file will mount the disk, run the emulator and when you close out the emulator it will umnount the disk image. Hopefully it works as well for your FM Towns emulator as it did for SSF.

Well if it's just certain games not working then it could either be the disk image is not one that Mame likes or the game just doesn't work in Mame.

I know, I literally let out a loud groaning nooooo when I saw it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WWaLxFIVX1s

Doesn't work as in your games don't work at all or they don't work with Mame unless you mount them ?

And then there is this, good game but bad music choices in the video.
