Something weird is going on and I right now I am stumped as to what to check next. Maybe something will pop in my head to check, or maybe someone else has an idea.

Hmm, everything seems to be set up right. Do other systems using Retroarch work fine through Launchbox ? Like Sega Genesis ?

Ok, first question is are your rom files compressed or uncompressed ? I see you have the extract rom archives before running box checked. Second question is do you have the Snes9x2010 core downloaded and in the \Retroarch\cores\ folder ? Third question is do your games load just using Retroarch on its own ? Last thing to check is make sure your platform names in your Associated Platforms list matches the names of your platforms.

Can you post screen shots of your emulator settings window and the associated platforms tab ?

I don't think the price itself is unreasonable considering the overall quality of the games in the collection and current market for NES games. The bigger issue is going to be in finding a person who actually wants all of or most of those games all in one lot. A lot of collectors will already have many of these games in their collections. But if someone is just starting out and has the money to spend on kickstarting a collection from scratch then it seems fairly reasonable.

Do you have it working on it's own ? If no, get it working on it's own first, unfortunately I am unable to help with that because a buddy of mine gave me his all setup with all the necessary files so my knowledge of setting it up is exactly zero. But if you do have it working on its own then the simplest method to getting it working through Launchbox is to create batch files for each game and import those batch files. Here is how to do that. Step 1) Make a batch file for each game, call the batch file whatever you like. I made these batch files right in the directory which contains the daphne.exe Step 2) This step will be repeated for each game. Open your DaphneLoader.exe and for each game you have and want to import into Launchbox click the Configure button and go to the Advanced tab. The bottom drop down menu "Display command line", set this to Enabled, click apply and ok. Now when you start that game it is going to popup with a bunch of text, select it all and copy. The game will launch but just exit back out. Step 3) Open the batch file you created for the game in notepad you just copied the command line information from and paste it in and save. Step 4) Drag the bat file into Launchbox and put into whatever platform you choose. I use the platform Daphne. Step 5) Right click the game and click edit. Go to the emulation tab and uncheck "Use an emulator to play this game". After you click apply it will popup with a message saying you need to specify and emulator do you want to do this now, click no. Now you can go back into each game and reverse Step 2 to disable "Display command line" When you launch a game from Launchbox if you get an error message repeat Step 5 just to double check it.

Yeah for sure, the oddball systems like the 3DO and Jaguar are good examples of emulators that are lacking.

I wouldn't recommend using stand alone versions where possible no more than I would recommend only using Retroarch cores where possible. I would only recommend trying out different emulators to find the best solution to individual emulation problems and cases. There are systems where the stand alone version of an emulator is better than the RA core like PSP and N64. At the same time there are systems where the RA cores are better than the stand alone options like Sega Genesis / CD, TurboGrafx 16 / CD and Snes. And then you get a situation like the Playstation where it depends on your hardware whether or not you should use the RA core vs ePSXe vs Xebra.

Yeah but the people who bought it out from AOL have been promising a new version forever so for now it's still the same software it was under AOL. Aimp and Foobar both sound better and have better functionality (tabbed playlists ftw). And yes they do sound better, I have tested them compared to Winamp and even with my shitty hearing I can hear a distinct difference in sound quality.

Hehe, sorry I just couldn't resist Winamp definitely is an all time great but it became such garbage when it got bought out. Aimp and Foobar kicks its ass all over the place nowadays.

I ignored everything once I noticed Winamp running

I search both US and Canada Ebay.

Yeah I check Ebay every now and again for these items and looking at the Conker manuals I see the same things I am trying to avoid. The first link wants an extra 20$ US for shipping which makes the booklet 50$ US which is like 70$ Canadian and I am not paying that much. The 2nd link says may not ship to Canada And the third one while is 20$ plus 16.50$ shipping plus another 9$ import fees. We are now up to 45$ US again.

Cool, good to know for sure for now. I really wish the RA guys would get to work on the controller support, I asked the week the RA Mednafen Saturn core came out about analog controls and a dev said it should be easy and would be in soon. That was a while ago now though

ahh

lol, yeah I had a sneaking suspicion that the mouse control would be wonky. It works pretty good in the stand alone though, just have to tweak it and not try and move the mouse too quickly.

It just got released a couple of days ago. Yeah RA does have mouse support and works great in systems like the Genesis, but I didn't test it in the Mednafen Saturn core. I know it's an option but so is analog controls Let me know if it works for you though.

I guess I will be the first to post here. I am looking for a Conkers Bad Furday instruction booklet for the N64. I have the cart and box, I just need the booklet to complete it. It generally goes for around 30$ on Ebay but people generally want an extra 20$ just for shipping on a booklet which is ridiculous. The second item I am looking for is the box insert or the clamshell and insert for Musha for the Sega Genesis. I do not need the cart or instructions since I already have them. I really want this to be in perfect or very near perfect shape since my cart and booklet are in immaculate condition. I know this is going to be a tough find but I am willing to pay a fair price for it. Either post here or send me a private message if you have either of these for sale.

As some of you may or may not be aware of Policenauts for the Sega Saturn has recently gotten an English translation. If you do not know what Policenauts is go look it up but basically it is a graphic adventure game made by Hideo Kojima and it is amazing. This game supported the lightgun and mouse controls on real hardware. SSF and the stand alone version of Mednafen supports mouse controls as well. Not sure if Retroarch supports mouse controls in their Mednafen core yet or not but since it doesn't even support analog controls I assume not at the point of me writing this. I do not use SSF anymore so if you wish to use that emulator and mouse controls you are on your own to sort it out. However I did some fiddling around with the stand alone version of Mednafens mouse controls today and it works pretty good but you do need to adjust the mouse sensitivity or else it is very slow. There is not going to be a 100% one setting works for everyone in this so there will need to be some personal tinkering to find what works best for you and your mouse but here is how you get the mouse working. You can either edit the mednafen-09x.cfg file and change values in there or you can launch games using a command line parameter which is the way I prefer to do it with the stand alone version. Now my whole command line parameter is pretty long but the 2 settings you need to look at are: -ss.input.port1 mouse -ss.input.mouse_sensitivity 1.75 The first one sets the mouse as your controller and the second one obviously is the sensitivity. These same settings can be found in the config file as well if you want to dig around in there. The default sensitivity is set to 0.50 which is really slow and for me I found 1.75 to be a pretty good sweet spot. I tried it at 2 but it was too fast and jumpy. I found this post over on the Mednafen forums with some info on mouse sensitivity http://forum.fobby.net/index.php?t=msg&th=1362&start=0& "There aren't any enforced range limits for those, beyond the limits of the underlying floating-point types. For the mouse sensitivity settings, a reasonable upper limit would be (4 * default), and a reasonable lower limit would be (default / 4)."

Can you post a screen shot of the core options ? There are audio settings in there as well that could be off.

No problem.

Just hit "Enter" and then press and hold "Select" then while its held press "Start".

You can always set it up in Mame itself. Bring up the Mame menu with the "Tab" key and then Input General > User Interface > UI Cancel. You can bind multiple keys or key combos to close out Mame.

Copy and paste from their website. https://citra-emu.org/entry/announcing-bleeding-edge-development-builds Sometimes it's hard to wait. We've noticed that users are very excited about the future of Citra, which means wanting to try all of the changes all of the time. But, emulator development can be a slow, arduous process as new changes can bring big regressions and problems with the much wanted new features. In order to satiate the needs of our users, we'll be adding new builds for download: bleeding edge builds! These builds will contain experimental features and changes designed to give the absolute fastest builds with the most features combined into one download! Since these releases are official, unlike other random builds you might find on the internet, there is no chance that they will contain a virus, or anything else that can potentially be harmful. Because updates will come at a rapid pace and there is a chance of these changes adversely affecting emulation, the builds will let you know when a newer version is available and auto-update if you allow it. You can download the bleeding edge development builds at our downloads page right now! While Windows is the only operating system targeted at this time, the other operating systems will follow shortly. While these builds aren't technically supported, they can be extremely useful for catching regressions and other issues from the various experimental features rolled into them. If you experience a bug, please make sure that the latest nightly builds do not have the issue before reporting it.

It's hard to say just how similar it is but if you have BizHawk look in the about panel of the UI and it shows the emulator cores and what they are based on or their own. Mednafens Wiki page has the info on its cores and shows which are their own code and which are based on others https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mednafen
