Oh yeah for sure the potential is there and I am more than happy it's being done.

You have to setup your Mame controls in Mame itself and check the binds for "coin 1". I probably should have read your original post closer and realized you were talking about on a Raspberry Pi with EmulationStation.

Same here, not even looking at this emulator for a while until a few things happen. A) It gets better B) I Get a new PC to run it and C) It's easier to get games. Right now I would much rather play them on my real PS3 and not waste drive space with 40 gig BluRay rips. PS3 system and games are so cheap right now it's not worth the effort to emulate it. That's just me though.

Strange, I just tested it and assuming it's the same game it worked just fine for me to insert coin. The game I got is the vector line one made by Sega and is the only Star Trek game I got in my arcade platform.

Yeah moving the files is generally not recommended, especially for Mame and CD based games because they rely on other files aside from the one being imported. Cart based systems is ok to do it but I still don't ever suggest it just for organizational reasons.

What sort CPU do you have ? PCSX2 is a very CPU intensive emulator. You can check out this video for tweaking it to try and get performance to something usable for you, it's a bit on the long side but it's really good.

No problem.

Glad it worked but thank @LuismaSP89 because he figured it out. I never run into this issue with the command line version because my first step after installing a new Mame is to generate a mame.ini in the Mame folder itself using the command line.

Go into your \mame\ini folder, select all and copy then back out to your \mame folder where your mame executable is and paste the copied content to the main folder. What I have gathered from what was said in the thread I linked this seems to be some weird issue since MameUI 186. If there is a mame.ini file in the \ini folder you could probably simply just copy that file out to the main Mame folder.

Ok, so it's just not working through Launchbox. Give this a try "this problem can be solved by copy and paste the .ini folder content in the main folder". Another user recently had this same problem and this was what he found to work for him. I don't use the UI version of Mame, I only use the command line version, I find it less hassle but that's just me.

Do your games load through Mame outside of Launchbox ?

Did you tell Mame where your roms are if you did not put them in the \mame\roms folder ?

Yes, try this. #NoEnv Sleep, 3000 SetKeyDelay, -1, 110 Send {F11} Return

Use an AutoHotKey script for the emulator to move the cursor. Put this in the AHK tab for your emulator in LB: MouseMove, 1920, 1080 Change the numbers to your displays resolution if using something other than 1920 x 1080. It will move the cursor to the bottom right corner of the screen and should be hidden.

Playlists are just much more easy to use and customizable, it's also a relatively new feature compared to the "arrange by series" function.

But even Microsoft doesn't recommend that since it's just the basic better than nothing protection. Hell it's better than most of the other free anti virus software out there which is why I suggest BitDefender of Avast. Nah, that's just American paranoia over Trump and Russia because it is a Russian company.

Avast is and has been been pretty good to me in the past but I did have a recent problem with it where an update caused my system to not boot past the Windows logo and had to reinstall windows. Up until that point though I had been using it for quite while without issue so I would chalk that up to a one off piece of rotten luck. Right now I am using BitDefender and I have also used that quite a bit over the years and it is quite good and it is what I have on my parents computer. Avira and Panda anti virus are two other reasonable choices. Norton used to be good a very long time ago until they decided they were going to the "full security suite" type of product and since then their actual virus protection has gone to shit much like McAfee. If I were to actually pay for an anti virus I would either pay for the paid version of BitDefender or most likely Kaspersky but i'm a cheap bastard and not willing to pay for anti virus lol.

I would even go so far as to abandon Norton, there are far better options out there and free ones at that like BitDefender or Avast just to name two. Norton and McAfee are probably two of the worst anti virus programs out there and have been for a long time.

I am doing some extra testing here right now and replaced Top Gear 3000, Dungeon Master and Lock On with roms from the No-Intro set and they are now working perfectly fine so I think it is fairly safe to say it is a rom issue. I am going to replace my other non working roms and see what happens. Edit: After replacing all the non working roms listed previously with No-Intro versions and patching a fresh No-Intro Star Ocean they all work perfectly. Lesson learned here is for maximum compatibility use the No-Intro rom set, anything else may end up with problems, especially the special chip games.

Ok weird, your Top Gear 3000 works but mine didn't. That leads me to believe for now that a bod rom dump could be the culprit.

Ok I went through the list of games that used special chips found here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Super_NES_enhancement_chips and tried all the games I had on the list. I had all the North American and a couple of Japan region games and there were a few games that did not work, those are listed below. All the big name games worked perfectly with the exception of Star Ocean but that was English patched so maybe that was the problem, I don't know because a couple of translation patched roms did work like Dragon Ball Z: Hyper Dimension and Marvelous. I do know that Street Fighter Alpha 2 worked and that used the same chip as Star Ocean. All the other big name games such as Mario RPG, Mario Kart, Pilot Wings, Mega Man X series, the Kirby games, they all worked just fine. So maybe there are some kinks to be worked out in the core but I do know that the roms do not need to be appended and the list of non working games in my opinion is very minor. If this is a problem though it is very easy to just use BSnes or Snes9x with these games or just to stick with either of those cores for now. There really will no perceivable difference in the Higan and BSnes Accuracy cores. Dungeon Master Top Gear 3000 Star Ocean (but Street Fighter Alpha 2 worked) Lock On Michael Andretti Indy Car Challenge Suzuka 8 Hours (glitches out) Ballz 3D

That's if you are using the stand alone and how it functions with its Icarus importer but it is not necessary with the RA core version because it loads the roms straight up. I can honestly say that this theory is 100% untrue because I am loading my special chip games without any issues and all I have is the special chip dumps in my \system folder like any other bios file.

Well of course Mario Kart works in Snes9x, that core does not require the special chip "bios". I have no idea why your special chips work with BSnes but not Higan but obviously you are having some sort of semi isolated issue because those special chip games work perfectly fine for me. As for the resolution my only guess is that because Higan is virtually 100% cycle accurate it is emulating the SNES so closely that it is just one of the flaws in the BSnes core that no one ever noticed until now.

Play around with the resolution settings in the core options and see if that gets you sorted out. I don't play with bezels and I am playing with integer scale on but a 1440 resolution monitor so I don't notice and extra space but I didn't look either.

Yeah, integer scale on will give you borders on a 1080 display.
