Hmm, weird. They seem way faster than they ever were for me in the past even the middle of the night with next to no one on.

Did the forums get upgraded ? They feel so much faster and responsive now. If so, thank you so much for this.

Or just go into the video and set "Use Fullscreen Mode" to on.

Ahh, yeah you are right. Ok then the main controller setup when I have had to do it it was a simple press B to start the bind process and then press each button for the prompts until done.

Hmm did they change something in the controller setup ? Last time I did any rebinding you just used left and right on the d-pad til the desired button was selected.

Not exactly sure what you mean here. Are you trying to rebind controls within Retroarch and having troubles ? If so then this shouldn't be a problem because the rebinding with RA is done by using the d-pad til the desired button is listed as the control you want. It isn't a case of press the button you want to be the button. Retroarchs controller bindings are a little on the funky side to understanding it but once you wrap your brain around how it works it isn't so terrible. I hope what I am saying makes sense and I hope I am understanding what you are asking correctly.

In game hit the "Tab" key and go into the "Analog Controls" menu and play around with the settings til you get something that feels good to you. You won't be able to get a perfect setup just because of the nature of those games and the controls they had but hopefully you can get something that feels suitable to you.

Yeah, what Brad said. You do not need to download the cores manually, they are all available within the built in updater. And 99% of all settings are done through the interface, I have only had to edit one setting manually within notepad and that was a setting as a part of setting up G-Sync to get it's full effect.

Unless Byuu changed something in the latest version there is no way to launch it into full screen in a simple manner. You either have to press F12 (I think its F12 or maybe F11) or do it through a script. There is the option of using Retroarch and the BSnes Balanced or Accuracy core. The accuracy core is 100% like the stand alone even if it is a bit older. From what I understand and could very well be mistaken most work being done on Higan nowadays is on the other systems and not the SNES so much.

Usually static or stuttering sound in RA is caused by the system not powerful for the core, shader being used is too intensive, audio delay set too low or video frame delay set too high. That's in my experience so far, could be some other factors in there I am forgetting off the top of my head.

Neither of these issues would be Launchbox related. Sound issues such as static could be a couple of things like your system not being powerful enough to run that core in Retroarch or a setting like audio delay or a couple of other settings. You can offset your image in Retroarch in the video settings and setting custom X and Y Viewports. Are you using Retroarch Mame core for your arcade stuff ? I assume you are since you mention arcade and RA. I would suggest using the stand alone Mame, it is lighter on the system than RA Mame core and you can adjust stuff there a little easier.

Opaklopper said Oh thank you, i was wondering why i can't load .cgp files. Do you know any way to downscale the gamesize in fullscreen mode? It always scales it so that there are only borders left and right. I hope you understand what i mean. Turn on interger scaling in the video settings. This should always be on for CRT type shaders, non integer scaling messes with spacing and screws up how the shader looks.

The paid premium version allows you to set up and exit key press using your controller or you can use xpadder to set up your own if you dont have the paid premium version of Launchbox. Xpadder worked for me before I bought the premium version.

Its in the shader presets, just not under CRT, look in the CGP presets folder.

Here is my setup for using Dameon Tools Lite, the guide you linked to above is the old way of doing it and yeah it is a pain the ass to setup each game with the additional apps. The way I am doing it is not something I figured out but another forum user here figured it out with another virtual cd program and then modified his bat file code to suit Daemon Tools when I asked him nicely. I can't take any credit for it. First make a bat file with the following code in it but change the SSF.exe and DTLite.exe paths accordingly to match yours: @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 Then in your "Manage Emulators" window add a new emulator and point it at the bat file you just created. Now you should just be able to add games and use SSF as your Saturn emulator like any other system without having to do each game one at a time. And of course you will need to run SSF first to set up all of its settings to your needs and preferences. In the options window, peripherals tab and the CD Drive drop down pick DTSOFT BDROM, this is your virtual cd drive where SSF will be looking for "disks". In the Screen tab I have Enforce Aspect Ratio, Fixed FUllscreen Resolution and FUll Size all checked. You can enable scanline if you like but I found its effect to be a little offputting for my tastes. Anyways, I hope this was enough to get you sorted out, will check in to see if you have further problems.

I know this isn't the answer you are looking for but you should be using SSF. Yabause and the Retroarch core has a long ways to go before it is really useable. Standalone Yabause is better but still has issues, for example in Darius Gaiden it is missing sound effects. SSF is faster and has far better support even though it is a pain in the ass to set up and use with virtual cd drive software. But the effort is worth it.

The effect from the screen shot looks good but I hate the light glow reflection thing and the TV itself, personal preference thing. The best CRT shader in RA imo is the CRT-Royale-Kurozumi one. Check a comparison of it along side an actual PVM and see just how accurate it is http://libretro.com/forums/showthread.php?t=4909&page=13

When using the command line version of Mame the first thing you do is run it in a command line window with the -cc switch. So you type mame64.exe -cc This creates the mame.ini file and gets you ready for editing.

I used to get the UI version but since I tried out GrooveyMame and got used to setting it up in the ini file it isn't all that bad to set up.

Yeah if your roms are located in the "roms" folder in your Mame folder it should be fine. But if you have your roms located in another place you need to set that folder. If you are using the UI version of Mame you can set it in one of the menus at the top, if you are using the command line version of Mame your mame.ini file should be in the Mame folder where the exe is located, that is where mine is located. Look for the line rompath "roms" My rompath is set to rompath "E:\Downloaded Games\Emulation\Roms\Mame Full"

Try removing the command line stuff. My "Default Command-Line Parameters" box is empty. Also make sure your rom path is set properly in your mame.ini.

Hmm, the only things I can think of is it is either the "system" path is wrong or your game images are screwy somehow. I will keep thinking on it though and maybe something will come to mind. Every time I have run into an issue it is either the bios file, bios location, disk image is borked, loading the wrong file or the cue sheet has a problem.

Not trying to get views for my video or anything but give the video tutorial I made linked in my forum signature a try and see if that helps out any. Also check if the games load just through Retroarch or not, make sure you are loading the cue sheet and not the bin file.

Hehe Brads new name from this day forth shall be Oregon :P
