Wait, I'm sorry, for some reason I read this as joy2key.

You can probably do this with AHK script, you can do it with Rocketlauncher, and for xpadder, not sure about vjoy, you can leave it on a blank profile and set it to autoload a specific profile depending on what window is in focus. You can use RetroArch which supports controllers natively very well. Lastly, I'm pretty sure epsxe supports controllers as well. Why the need for vjoy?

Alternately, once downloaded, use the windows search for "japan" etc. And delete the ones you don't want.

Do note that if you imported them as zips, and then you extract, launchbox will still look for the zip. Recommend extracting all of them, deleting all the games from launchbox and then reimporting them. To my knowledge mame roms and Amiga roms are the only ones that should be zipped. I personally wouldn't bother with the lb extract feature unless space is an issue.

If you want to use the same controller config for all cores, it's easiest to make sure that you're launching the standard retroarch config. If I had to guess, I'd say somehow you're launching a different config when you launch nes. Did you save any other configs. If the menu won't come up with the keyboard , like DOS said, it usually means the menu button is bound to a controller.

By the way, RetroArch is probably the emulator by you want to start with.

Also note, some emulators may require a bios file to be extracted, some, like mame, want the file to be zipped. Again, you just have to go to the emulator page and Google and read up.

It may be worth noting that MAME is a strange one. If you're going to use Mame you're going to want to download a good mame rom set. The reason is, a mame rom set actually comes with a bunch of bios files mame needs. So to address your question directly, yes, depending on where you get things, they may be named weird and emulators may require you to rename. Also, not all bios files will work with every emulator, some are picky. I wouldn't personally bother trying to use the no intro bios for any system. I'd just good "emulator name / bios".

Again, it will depend on the emulator you want to use. In the case of ColecoVision, I'm actually not sure.

Your order of operations should always be to get the system, games and emulator, working outside of launchbox before you import. This makes it easier to ask for help as it can help isolate any problems you're having.

Many emulators do not require a bios file. No Intro includes them for thoroughness only. In order to find out if an emulator requires this file, it's best to visit the emulator page. Again, most do not. Nor should they ever be imported to launchbox.

In terms of the systems you want, they are all really easy and you can get most of them in no intro sets. Do that

I'm not to good with spec, but can confirm the i5 and gtx 660 will run ps1.

I'm just not sure if you can bulk edit it to not use an emulator... (This tells launchbox to treat an item like a program and not a rom), so maybe double check that first.

You can go to import, roms, files, use windows search for .exe in whatever folder, pick any emulator, doesn't matter, name platform, scrape as windows, import. Then select all the games you just imported into launchbox, right click, bulk edit, and change the emulator to no emulator. This should work

You can call the platform(s) whatever you want, but scrape as windows. I guess since launchbox is windows only... it's the catch all for PC games. But that's only relevant to how you import and scrape them. As mentioned above, once imported, you can sort them however you like.

You're always going to scrape them as windows games, but you may be able to create a platform for each service, say "Blizzard", just scrape it as windows. If you want to go full on, you can go to manage platforms and change all the platform information and put in some personal art.

Your settings are saved in the config files. If you use the ra installer rather than zip, install to a different directory then drag over the configs. Recommend using Stella as stated above. I've never had a problem with it. If not, download the newest ra zip and just pull out the exe and in this case the dlls and overwrite in your install.

You should not be extracting mame roms. Turn that off and run them as zips.

I haven't set it up myself, but this should help: http://www.rlauncher.com/wiki/index.php?title=MultiGame

Creating and importing the m3u files is the classiest you can do with PS right now. Import the rest as cue. For other systems with multiple disks, you can let launchbox combine games with the same name as a single game. I'm not actually sure how to swap disks on the fly for other systems though. I know Rocketlauncher lets you do it for pretty much any system.

I think for many of those retro style controllers windows sees them as "generic usb controller" and doesn't differentiate

Where to install roms and emu?
in Noobs

Yeah there's no right or wrong here. The only real reason to keep those in the Launchbox folder is if you want to make it completely portable, as in you could put the entire thing on a flash or external and move it between computers. Other than that, if you intend to continue adding games and systems you might want to invest in a hd for just roms because they fill up fast.
