Does the game load in Retroarch without launching through Launchbox? If no then the problem is either the game archive or dosbox pure, if yes then the problem is likely the emulator settings in launchbox. When I set my dos games up with Dosbox Pure they all worked without issue so not sure how else to help, hopefully I didn't just repeat what everyone else said, good luck.

If I'm ever in a position to upgrade hardware and unsure of what is compatible with my current stuff I use PC Part Picker, with it you could enter your current motherboard and ram and it will filter only parts that are compatible. Just select the motherboard and ram you already have and when you select your cpu it will auto filter compatible parts based on what you already have in the list.

If you're familiar with something like Retropie, which has specific paths that it wants files in, this isn't like that. Your games and emulators can be anywhere you want, you just need to setup the paths in the relevant sections for it to work. I recommend watching the guides on the tutorials playlist on the official Youtube channel: LaunchBox/BigBox Tutorials

I'll check those out too, I didn't realize there were new ones already. Thanks for the links!

This happens when the emulator doesn't yet support a new game. Honestly there isn't anything that can be done about it since Ryu is no longer developed, rumor is that Nintendo payed off the dev to shut it down. I'm sure there will be new emulators to come along for switch but always beware of scam emulators especially when there is high demand for a solution.

If the executable loads fine by itself why do you want to use DosBox to load it? You could add the games to Launchbox as standalone executables if that is the case. EDIT: Revisiting this since I wasn't really that helpful. For Dos games that are preinstalled I archive them and load them in RetroArch with the DosBox Pure core. It's very well designed and allows you to set a default executable for each title so when you launch it from Launchbox it will prompt you which exe to run and then it should load that one by default every time after that. I've even had good luck installing Windows 98 in this core and running old Win9x games that way. As far as translations go I don't have any experience there but hopefully someone will notice this that can help with that.

I'm not super familiar with Launchbox logs yet but I did notice there are a lot of messages about a missing image. Have you recently moved any images around manually that it might be looking for? Other than that I'd recommend refreshing the image cache in BigBox, I have had luck with that in the past. You can find it in BigBox at Settings>Image Cache>Refresh All Images.

I think the real question is "is it helpful posting in the troubleshooting category for a non-constructive reason?" and the answer is no. @skizzosjt Thanks for the example script, I've recently been going through my collection of fangames and opensource ports and such and this will greatly come in handy!

Does you happen to be on the latest beta? Also what version of Dolphin are you on?

Is there any error displayed when it crashes?

I've had this problem too and cannot remember off hand what I did to fix it. Have you tried just dragging the .xiso files from explorer onto the LaunchBox window? I think that works still.
