They will only contain arcade roms.

Did you add your Colecovision roms folder to your Mess ?

Hmm, the bios i got is coleco.zip with coleco.rom file inside of it. File size is 5.48 KB and it works.

My first guess is missing bios.

Yup, shader choice is personal preference and what looks best on your display. Display size and resolution can make a difference in how a shader looks as well.

Agreed, this is why having "folders" and "sub-folders" within the playlists section alone would be awesome and hopefully sooner rather than later. This way we could use the platforms and platform categories for management and the playlists section for actual display and playing. Right now there are small workarounds we can do to help somewhat but they can only go so far.

I copied over my entire shader folder from Retroarch. Not sure if this is what is happening to you or not but it could be that you copied over the preset and it's trying to call the actual shader files but it cannot find them because of folder structure and the shader files it is trying to call up aren't there.

Give it time.

You could cheat it by creating a playlist of your Nintendo Gameboy games which would exist as well as your original Nintendo Gameboy platform. That way your original import platform would be in the "Handhelds" category and then your new playlist would go in the "Nintendo" category.

Not sure if it's quite the way you are thinking in your head but you can do this already. Simply create a Platform Category and then for each of the different Nintendo related platforms you have, right click and edit them. Near the bottom you will see a dropdown menu for Category, there you can change it to your "Nintendo" category. Like above this may not be exactly what you have in your mind but you can do this with the Platform Category like above and you can then tell each playlist to be displayed in the platform category of your choosing like above. As for your other requests, as far as I am aware of right now they aren't available but are planned for a future release. More customization like the ones you are asking for and sub folders for playlists would indeed be welcomed by myself and many others.

The Retroarch core for Dolphin is still extremely early in development and not usable yet. As for when it will become usable and to what level is any ones guess but my money won't be on it being close to the stand alone anytime soon. Who knows though, maybe the Retroarch devs will surprise me and make it really awesome quickly.

Not sure what to tell you then, it works for me using the aperture shader preset in the shaders folder I copied over from my Retroarch install.

You have to setup your controllers in the emulators themselves, that is not covered by Launchbox.

Are you using the OpenGL or D3D9 version ? If you are using the OpenGL version in puNES go to Settings > Video > Rendering, once there it should say Software and OpenGL GLSL, select OpenGL. This will only support the GLSL shaders, not the CGP ones. If you are using the D3D9 version then you should't need to select any renderer, it should let you load CGP shaders though. I normally use the OpenGL version but I downloaded and tested the D3D9 version and it worked for me.

The main use for overclocking the FX chip is for framerates in a game like Starfox for example. Natively it runs at 20 fps which is what it did on real hardware, overclocking the FX chip will let the emulator run it at 30 fps.

Keep in mind it would only effect games that actually use the FX chip.

No problem.

The latest Mame core is just Mame with no year in its name and is based off the 183 build. Mame2016 is based off the 174 build, you can check all the different cores and see which versions they are based off here https://wiki.libretro.com/index.php?title=Category:Libretro_Cores Click the Mame core and check it's info, it will tell you what version it was built from.

No problem. Actually the latest Mame core if you have a newer rom set is pretty nice and for me it's on par with the stand alone Mame. Older Mame cores though I don't like using over stand a lone Mame.

Having another look at your screenshot you have the "Extract ROM archive" box checked, that will mess up Mame and any arcade emulator up every time.

My next question would be what version is your rom set ? Is it really that old you should be using the 2003 core ? And are you sure that you have the 2003 core in your \retroarch\cores\ folder ?

In the Edit Emulator window > Emulator Details tab do you have any of the boxes checked ? These can cause problems with Mame games specifically.

CGP shaders won't work with the GL render, only the GLSL ones will in theory work. I say theory because I don't know if some of the shaders will use some passes and effects that aren't supported in puNES. I would also turn off any filters when using a shader. Here's a screenshot with the aperture shader.

No problem.
