  1. Oh don't get me wrong, there is most definitely some potential there for future games. I remember the Minecraft concept video that Microsoft showed off a while back and it looked cool. The price might be $3000 for developers but Microsoft have also said that it won't be cheap so don't expect to see it in the "reasonable for every day people" range soon, though 3 grand is definitely closer to that than say the 25-50 grand something like this may have cost a few years ago. All I am saying is that the price point needs to come down a lot still and they need to show off better game concepts than crappy point and click mystery games with cosmetic upgrades.
  2. I may be a jaded old man but I see this going no where considering the price point and that game looks like nothing more than a terrible point and click adventure game like those cheesy Sherlock Holmes games for the TurboGrafx 16 CD. Even if they had a more interesting looking game the $3000 price tag is just way too much to be of any interest to 99% of the people out there.
  3. I can't help you with the Sega Model 3 emulator but for mame bring up the in game mame menu with the tab key, go into input (general), the user interface,look for the UI Cancel and rebind that to something on your controller and just to be safe also bind it to something on your keyboad as well. You can multiple bindings for the same function.
  4. Just out of curiosity, does the Saturn Yabause core actually run at a playable speed for you ? It runs god awfully slow for me on a 4 ghz AMD cpu. The standalone Yabause and SSF run fine for me but from what I have read on the retroarch forums the RA core doens't have the dynarec compiler in it yet and doesn't have the opengl support the standalone has.
  5. I'm assuming you are using version 1.3.0 of Retroarch ? and did you try deleting the cfg file associated to the core in the config folder ? Just out of curiosity what are your system specs ? CPU, ram and video card ? and just for my piece of mind, you did say it works perfectly fine when loading a rom directly within the Retroarch UI ? This one is just baffling me big time, everything should work just fine. I know computers can be finicky at times but damn this is weird.
  6. This indeed is a strange one. If Retroarch on it's own is launching the game Launhbox should work as well. I zipped up a rom and tried launching it and it worked perfectly fine. I don't know if having multiple files within a zip file would affect it or not. I am running Retroarch version 1.3.0 (I don't know what version the OP is using) on Windows 10 along with Launchbox and everything works perfectly fine. @MartGux Have you tried another core for another system like the Genesis for example ? One thing I can think of to at least give it a try is to delete the core dll file in the config folder. Sometimes a bad setting can somehow get into the cfg file and cause RA to act stupid and deleting the file and starting a new core cfg file can fix it.
  7. 2 things come to mind immediately to try out and thats to extract your roms and they should be in .smc format (.sfc should work as well). All my roms are extracted. The other thing I can see that may be causing the issue is the fact you have your RetroArch installed to a folder on your desktop. Try having it in a folder like "C:\Games\Retroarch", the desktop may give UAC problems. I know it's not a Windows 10 issue because my laptop is using Windows 10 without issue.
  8. I don't know if there are threads on this topic but I just found this fix after "upgrading" to Windows 10 on my laptop. The first thing I noticed after upgrading and firing up Retroarch I noticed the "Guide" button on my controller (the Logitech button on a Logitech controller) no longer brought up the Retroarch quick menu. After searching around a bit there is a solution posted over on the RA forums about some setting in the GameDVR app but I don't have and don't want that app. I found another fix on a Steam forum thread with a simpler solution than installing some app just to get back the functionality of the button. Anyways here is the fix that should work for Xbox and Logitech controller and others. Go to the device manager to Xbox 360 peripherals. Right click and select properties. Go to the driver tab and click update driver, click browse my computer for driver software. Then select "Let me pick from a list". You should now see 2 drivers listed pick the one marked [2009-040-08], should be the bottom one. Reboot system if needed.

  9. Do your roms load from within ReatroArch itself ? If they do then you have something not quite set up right in Launchbox, if not then it's a problem with your roms and right off the top of my head my first guess is that the rom is in zip format. Some more details on your setup and if possible some screenshots of your settings may help.
  10. Yeah the difference between RA Mednafen and ePSXe 2.0 is really small. Trade off a small amount of accuracy (epsxe) vs quality of life features (RA). ePSXe does have an edge in performance too though, my 1.5 gHZ laptop with 4 gigs of ram isn't quite fast enough for RA but runs epsxe just fine even with lottes shader.
  11. You can use the Mame core and depending on your romset you will have to choose which Mame core to use. For the newer romset the Mame 2014 core works well. Now having said that I would suggest using a stand alone version of Mame because for certain games you need to rebind some keys and doing it within the Mame core itself it doesn't remember the key binds so each time you load that game you need to re do the bindings. I'm sure there is a work around for that issue but the other reason I would go with a standalone Mame is you can get a version with the loading nag-screens disabled. I use Groovy Mame, there is some tweaking you need to do manually in the in .ini file but once it's done it's awesome. Once you set it up properly you have no nag screen, as close to zero input lag as possible and you can even get a special build with an extra program to get near zero audio latency. Take a look over at this thread on the BYOAC forums http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,142143.0.html. It really is the best Mame out there.
  12. Really ? I find the DS3 d-pad to be awful for trying to play Street Fighter where as with the 360 controller it's better, still not good but better. That's why I got the Hori FC, to play Super Street Fighter Turbo HD on the PS3 and it doubles as a great non analog stick game controller.
