Cool, glad you got it sorted.

Same here. Laserdisc games will use the Daphne emulator but unfortunately that is a bit of a pain in the ass to setup. Though if all you really care about is Dragon's Lair 1 & 2 and Space Ace the Dragon's Lair Trilogy for the Wii is easily setup and plays great. For the vast majority of arcade games you will use Mame, either the stand alone version or Retroarch core is fine. Which one you use will come down to personal preference, I like the stand alone version myself. All the stuff in this time I suggest and recommend Retroarch. PCSX2 emulator for PS2 and PPSSPP for PSP. Most HD space will be taken up by the CD and DVD based console games, those disk images get fairly big. This is certainly doable and using your arcade controls shouldn't be much work at all, especially if your arcade stick is detected as an Xinput controller. If it is something like the X-Arcade it may take a little more effort to setup because it is not detected as an Xinput controller but rather as a keyboard. Retroarch is a multi emulator but RocketLauncher is mainly a backend for HyperSpin but can be used with Launchbox for more advanced features. I personally don't use or like RocketLauncher but there are others around here that do. If you decide you want it you will have to look at learning how to set it all up and I won't be able to help you with it. Definitely the best way to approach it. That will depend on the system. For Mame and cartridge based consoles it is the easiest. The Mame roms work it is easiest to just get the whole set because how parent and clone roms work along with bios files, it becomes a real mess trying to pull out individual games with its required parents. Cartridge based consoles rom sets a very small and easy to get full sets, when looking for them search for "No-Intro" sets. These sets have all the games without all the extra fluff of "GoodSets". CD based game sets though get to be quite large in size so for those I recommend just getting the games you know you want to play. If unsure of games look at some videos on youtube of "top games lists" Metal Jesus and Gamesack have some great videos showcasing a lot of games to get you started out. Primarily this will be done in the emulators themselves and no it wont be on a game by game basis. With Mame though you can set up a "default" controller set up but of course due to the nature of arcade games this wont always be ideal and you can and will tweak some individual games controls. Launchbox does nothing with the games controls. Some rare instances of this may be required such as with Daphne for laser disk games but it really is the rarity rather than the norm.

If your TV is running at 30 Hz you should be able to change it in the Windows display settings unless your TV is locked for some reason.

Are you playing on a TV ? If yes check your display settings and make sure it's set to 60 Hz.

Do you have an associated platform for Sega CD setup in Launchbox for your Retroarch emulator ?

No problem.

But as far as AHK per game that is not an option right now, but I believe it is on the "Small Things" list so maybe Jason will implement it.

Anything in Mame can have it's own controller setup. With the game loaded just press Tab and Input (this Machine)

Which version of Asteroids ? Mame ?

There is something in place.

lol

Fixed that thread title for you

I'm just referring to 3rd party software that doesn't fall under emulators or roms. Stuff like Reshade / SweetFX shaders, rom patching software for hacks from romhacking.net or input mapping software like xpadder. Honestly just start out with the stuff you know you want and build upon it slowly. I just try and grab anything and everything all at once and figure your way through it you will find yourself quickly overwhelmed and in an unorganized mess. As for emulators, you can either start out with individual ones like Snes9x or you can go with Retroarch and use it for what it does well which is quite a bit like the 8, 16 and 32 bit era stuff. You will want some stand alone that either has no Retroarch core or the core isn't on par with the stand alone like Dolphin, PPSSPPP and PCSX2.

Have you tried the base command line version of Mame ? I used to use MameUI but have since switched to the command line version. It really takes me more time to setup, in fact it's quicker for me now.

Put this AHK script in your AutoHotKey tab of your Fusion emulator in Launchbox. $Esc:: { Process, Close, {{{StartupEXE}}} } I just tested it and works perfect for me.

Look in your Launchbox\updates folder for an installer. It shouldn't be a problem getting a download link if your sub is up though I can't say that for certain.

Well it is extremely unlikely that it just stopped working for no reason. Usually when software just stops working it is because something changed.

Not sure what to tell you, it's not something I have run into or seen people have issues with before. Maybe @Jason Carr or someone else can provide some insight on it.

Did you update your system like the Windows 10 Creators Update or something else ?

If you remove your old install it will, try installing over top first and see if that fixes it.

Yeah it can be. If all you wanted to play is Dragons Lair 1 & 2 and Space Ace just get the Dragons Lair Trilogy pack for the Wii. The video quality is excellent and you have the option of easy or hard mode with or without the prompts.

Yeah looks like the same procedure, so good luck on it.

A quick google search did turn up this, no idea if it works or not though. Make a copy of your memory card (inside memcards folder in ePSXe), memcard000 is your slot 1 while memcard001 is slot 2. Make a copy of the one that has the save of the game of your preference, then take the EXACT name of your rom (e.g.: Trash Candypoon 2.bin) and rename the memcard file to "Trash Candypoon 2.srm". Then transfer that file to your vita in the /retroarch/savefiles folder. Edit: Removed the link after digging into the site a bit more and finding there is stuff there that shouldn't be linked to.

I don't know but if I had to guess I would say no but that really is only a guess.

Unfortunately that one I have no idea on. I have never run into that issue personally and a quick google search turned up nothing other than one person asking the same question on reddit but got no response at all.
