I never got the CHDs and they just worked

CPS3 games work fine for me using Retroarch and the FBAlpha core and I don't use CHDs at all.

It's not that the request is valid or invalid. Resolution changes are all within the emulator itself and Launchbox has nothing to do with it. If the emulator has a command line to change resolution then in theory it should be possible to pass that command line through within Launchbox. More details are needed to help but right now all we got is a vague question.

Sometimes certain rom hacks use hacks within an emulator itself to make the rom hack work. This is more common in SNES games where certain rom hacks require ZSnes to emulate because of funky shit that emulator does.

That's what it looked like to me.

If there was no rom in the link then please feel free to re-add the link. It just looked to me like there was a rom download there.

If the rom is already patched I know of no way to extract the "patch" content out to make a patch for a fresh rom. That being said though most rock hacks that work for PJ64 should in theory work for the Retroarch cores since they are are sort of loosely based on the same code depending on how far back you want to look. But of course there are always exceptions when a hack relies on some hack used in a specific emulator.

It would depend on the emulator and how it works that will determine the actual bat file would look. I am no bat file expert so hopefully someone much better at them will pop in and see this but here is the bat file I used for mounting Saturn games for SSF: @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

Not sure if it would work in this specific case or not but in the past when using a batch file to launch games like for example using SSF for the Saturn and mounting CDs you would set the batch file itself as an emulator and have your games use that "batch file emulator". Like I said though I am not sure if this will work in your specific case or not but it is worth a try.

If you are talking about the gameplay resolution that is all in the emulator and not the frontend.

If the file paths are identical except the drive letter in the "Find what" box put K:\ and then in the "Replace with" box put L:\ If the folder structure is actually different though you will want to replace the path with the new path so for example if your old roms was in something like: E:\Downloaded Games\Emulation\Roms\Mame\ and your new location is: H:\Emulation\Roms\Mame\ All you would need to do is put E:\Downloaded Games\ in the "Find what" box, and then in the "Replace with" box you would put: H:\ I hope this all makes more sense now.

You want the replace tab.

the xml for the platform of games you want to edit

Press Control + F to bring up the find tool, then go to the replace tab. In the "Find what" box put the text you want to replace and in the "Replace with" box the full path you want it to change.

Bulk edit the xml file with Notepad++ to find and replace the rom paths. And good god that is one messed up folder path naming system you have going there.

Don't make me ban you for forum spam

Take a look at this post in regards to setting up RA to do Atari 5200

Oh shit, you wanna do it though the Retroarch Mame core ? It's doable if you want to jump through flaming hoops like a circus animal but I really recommend using Altirra or the stand alone version of Mame / Mess.

Ah ok, I tried it in "Platforms" view and got nothing but now going back to look at it again the right clicking works when in "Playlists" view. A "Manage Playlists" menu item in the "Options" along side "Manage Emulators" and "Manage Platforms" would be nice for consistency though

I don't use RocketLauncher so hopefully someone who does will pop into this thread and be able help with that.

I finally got around to getting a beta version installed to check in on the playlists feature and really like it so far. I do have one question / request for it though. Is there a way to manage playlists and settings for playlists in the Launchbox UI ? When I first made a playlist it asked if I wanted to have it show up in the platforms list and I picked yes, but then decided I didn't want that and found no easy way of changing that without editing the xml file for the playlist file itself. It would be really handy to have a "Manage Playlists" entry in the "Options" menu where the "Manage Emulators" and "Manage Platforms" is. Hopefully this is part of the "to-do" list and if it isn't please add it

The emulator you choose to use and importing have nothing to do with each other. I would suggest getting away from Kawaks though and use either FBA or Mame.

For N64 you are getting a black screen probably because you are upscaling the resolution and that messes with the shader. I would just suggest setting the resolution in the core settings to your monitors native resolution and be done with it. I think it looks about as good as you are going to get for an N64 game. GLupeN64 is no longer a thing using that name, it is now back under the Mupen64plus core and the old Mupen64 core is under the ParaLLEi core. Use the Mupen64plus core now. For other systems I use Retroarch where possible but for Dreamcast I use Demul, and PSP I use the stand alone build of PPSSPP. The stand alone emulators for these systems are better than the Retroarch cores. Mame is a toss up between the RA core and stand alone when it comes to the latest versions. They are both very close in terms of quality with very minor differences separating them and neither has a definitive edge over the other. However if you are using an older version of a Mame core then the stand alone is a much better choice over the Retroarch core.

The GLupeN64 core in Retroarch is no longer a thing, it is now rolled up in the Mupen64plus core and the old Mupen64 core is now rolled up into the ParaLLEi core. So if you want to use Retroarch for N64 use the Mupen64plus core.
