\Launchbox\Data and \Launchbox\Backups \Data is where the currently used files are located and backups are stored in the \Backups folder. If you want to restore from a backup simply copy over the backup you want to use and change the name to emulators.xml. Remove the date part of the name because that is there so you know which is the most recent backup.

Look in your Data folder for an emulators.xml file, that contains all the relevant info for that and there are backups for it in the Backups folder.

If you are talking about config files for Retroarch itself, no, not at all. The only "config files" Launchbox has or touches are Launchboxes own platform .xml files.

Launchbox doesn't touch your emulators install folders or files at all beyond loading them. It doesn't modify or move them or anything like that at all.

Glad you got it sorted.

All your configs should still be there if Retroarch was never uninstalled or re-installed, those are all within the RA folder. I don't know, it's never happened to me and your post about such an issue is the first I have seen. Could be a bug in Launchbox or it's possible you did something or maybe Windows did something screwy.

Looking back with hindsight and emulation since that is why we are all here who cares about arcade ports ? we got, for all intents and purposes perfect arcade emulation. Outside of that there is a small selection of great console exclusives but it's a small selection. I don't think the Saturn is any better or any worse than what people think of it now as it sits, the Saturn got a lot more hate back in the day but now it gets plenty of love but still has serious flaws. I don't think the system is under rated or over rated at all.

You can simply re-add Retroarch to your emulators in the Manage Emulators window and then go to the systems you want to use RA with and use the bulk edit tool to change the emulator. Select all the games, right click and edit, this will open the bulk edit tool, choose emulator and the emulator you want to use for those games.

I don't agree that it's under rated, in fact I agree that it gets the hate it deserves. Sega dropped the ball with it big time and it was a suck ass system here in North America, it had awful game support and it was a difficult system to program for. Looking back at it now and the fact we can emulate it rather than deal with it and trying to track down the small handful of "good" games it has makes it look much better in hindsight.

I definitely have a love / hate relationship with the 32X and Saturn. I love to hate the 32X cause it was a real turd (yes I owned one) and the Saturn could have been good if it had been supported here in North America.

I gets joke.

There is a bug on the Retroarchievements end, it's being worked on. Edit: Genesis achievements now working.

This is a weird issue with Retroarch and your system, the default settings of Retroarch should be fine, you could try and change the audio driver in the drivers menu of Retroarch.

I don't have a 4K display to test anything out on but I do have a 1440p monitor I use and it's perfectly fine, maybe something got changed in your desktop scaling settings or something.

So basically make your computer do something it shouldn't be doing in the first place ? lol

This week, possibly today.

Your emulator in Launchbox has to point to the emulators executable file and your games need to point to the rom file.

It shouldn't do that, i've never experienced that issue and I use the FBA core for my NeoGeo emulation.

My guess is you have the path to the emulator exe set to the rom file and not the emulator itself.

Glad you got it working.

Unfortunately I don't have a "definitive fix" for you because I don't do any Amiga CD32 emulation or use that emulator at all. But I would suggest having a try with some some of the settings in the Edit Emulator window, more specifically the settings I outlined in orange in the pic below.Try the "Use file name only" first, then the "Don't use quotes". Hopefully one of those will do the trick for you since generally if you can load a game using command line only it should work in Launchbox.

Once you reach 100 posts though we will mock and shame you

Cool, good to know. I don't use any of the cloud stuff at all but I am interested in sharing my ratings.

Just so I understand it correctly and can answer people when they ask, checking the "Upload Star Rating" box will automatically upload your rating to the database and nothing else ? Also you don't have to upload anything else like the cloud saving or anything correct ?
