You need to setup an m3u playlist file which is loaded into Retroarch, the m3u playlist file contains a list of the disc images which Retroarch can then use to swap discs.

Did you really just post a response to your own question you asked 4 days ago ? Of course Retroarch isn't for everyone. Why do we push Retroarch ? I wouldn't go so far as to say we push it but we do recommend it in most cases (not all) because it offers some real tangible benefits over many stand alone emulators such as better audio sync, better input latency, setup for one is setup for all for the most part and it integrates nicely with LB. People often ask us what we use an 90% of the time it is Retroarch but again, it's not all we use because Retroarch is not the best for everything but it is certainly better for more things than it isn't. At the end of the say use what you prefer to use, it makes no difference to us what you use.

Yeah you can uncombine each game game separately but there is no bulk way of doing it.

I'm on a 15Mbit connection so what I do is i rent a seedbox for 10$ a month and gives me all the space and bandwidth I need for my sets from PleasureDome and I can pull down what I want. I have a very nice hand picked Mame set using the Non Merged rom set and I don't have to worry about dependencies or anything and it's quick and easy to update.

It's explained in the download page. "To use this simply enable HLSL in your mame.ini by setting hlsl_enable to 1 instead of 0 and dropping this raster.ini file into your \Mame\ini\presets folder. Backup your old one first just in case you do not like this one."

It's been asked for and Jason looked into it but it turned out to be a giant hack in the way it has to be done and therefor won't be implemented into Launchbox because of this.

Yes, it works with Launchbox.

@JonnyModlin start your own thread if you wish, but please don't spam other peoples threads.

In the Tools menu in LB there is a Change ROM folder path option but this only works with rom files all the in same folder. If you want to use notepad++ you can use the find replace all function to change the platforms xml file.

It won't continue where you left off exactly but it when you go back and re do the full import it should just skip games that imported already and continue after that.

As far as I am aware of and based on a quick Google search WinKawaks does not support launching games via command line so that means it is not compatible with Launchbox.

Check where your mame.ini file is located and move that to the main folder of Mame where the executable is if isn't there already.

Yes, all these old games we're meant / designed to be displayed on a CRT and you will find all of the same issues with other games and systems of the time when played on a modern display. If you don't have a CRT the best you can do is to use a CRT shader to replicate the old CRT look as close as possible which can vary depending on the display. To get as close to possible you want a high resolution display, preferably 4K or higher when they become available and have a strong backlight and contrast ratio. Now if you did have a CRT that would be best but they are getting harder to find and getting a CRT TV to work on a PC takes some extra work, they are not simple plug and play. Old PC CRT monitors are another option but also getting harder to find and have their own differences compared to a TV or arcade monitor.

This is possible, if your playlist is a manually made one select all the games (Control + A) and the do a bulk edit (Control + E) to change the platform. If your playlist is an auto generated one you will need to change it to a manual one by selecting all the all the games and then right clicking and Add to Playlist > New. Then repeat the bulk edit process from before. Not using this method but you can re-import the games to the other platform you want them to be in.

Just drag and drop your cue files into LB to start the import process. remove all the previous Saturn games first though.

Are you loading the cue file from LB or the bin file ?

I think you need to understand the differences in how a CRT handles these images compared to how a modern fixed pixel display handles them. There is nothing in Mame you can do in terms of resolution to help with this, the best you can do is to use HLSL shaders to try and replicate the CRT as closely as possible. A modern display will enlarge the image which was typically 320 pixels by 240 pixels but of course it could vary. A CRT handled this quite easily because of how a CRT works but a fixed pixel display which is much higher resolution has to scale these images up quite a lot, 1080p, 1440p or 2560p. Open up a 320x240 jpg image and enlarge to fit on your display and see what happens, this is similar to how an emulator scales the art in these old games. Here is a link to my HLSL CRT shader settings I use in Mame: Also here is a video that hopefully can do some explaining of this kind of stuff: Even though it is more a discussion of aspect ratio it covers much of the same issues happening here for you. Also, here is a screenshot of Street Fighter using my HLSL settings.

While not much faster you can rename the file and then in LB edit the game and change the file name there. Beyond that no, there isn't a better way.

Or you can directly type the name of a site, just no links. /r/roms

I'm not sure to be honest what mameui calls its ini and if LB has any issues with it if it is mameui.ini, I only use the standard version of Mame or GroovyMame which uses the mame.ini name. I haven't used MameUI in several years.

Please, feel free to ask for a refund and go try one of the free front ends out there, i'm sure you will find those are more effort to get working. Now if you want help we will do our best to help but this passive aggressive crap ends here or we will stop helping you.

You can just re-tell where your roms are located, either through the UI or in the mame.ini file.
