ok then here is the question ..are you running iso's? is this where your failing ?...can you run the regular .PCE files ? I ran into this issue once before where my .iso's where launching with the wrong core . I simply made another folder with retroarch, MANUALLY add it in launchbox (i named it retroarch_pce) in it and installed only that core to run the iso's for my tg16. for some reason retroarch could not tell what iso file is running and kept launching the Sega CD with all my iso's so i have : 1 folder retroarch 1 folder retoarch_pce ---------------------------------------- manually add the second retroarch_pce and specify it only for tg16 ..should work

I Will check it out later

try adding the -L in the retroach screen , that was the issue i was having

I think it has to do when it deploys... it seems to over something and then it hangs up causing the wipe , i notice some time i have to re-direct my update cause i store it on my d:\ . i have a back up but man it is a pain to restore when you have over 60 systems and 10k+. if you can tell me what steps your looking for i can write it down , i thought my steps above where pretty clear >? A possible different back up method?? my main bet peavy is that all of my snes , nes ,sms ,and MD , switched regions for the box art , i need a method to remove all non US box art

I recently updated to 9.10 and i had the exact same issue happen when i up the last few times, so i was wondering if anyone has had something similar . 1st>I run launch box> auto update starts >I hit cancel update> and my launchbox no longer runs >everything is wiped and then i restore from backs ups. after 2>I update metadata and all of my boxes change to the japanese boxes after i click on any games . anyone ?

i have done it before for testing and it works i unzip the and rezip them , demul doesnt require them i zip to run . for marvel capcom 2 i pulled the bin file out and it works fine

Honestly, i have switched from demul to retroarch reicast core. I am using the mame 2.02 version of the rom and it works flawlessly. if your have an issue with demul three things i would recommend . check the version of the rom your trying to use. make sure that you paths are correct. I have had instance that where it cannot find the the rom file do it pointing to another path not relevant path where the rom is . the last item is unzip the rom and try to run it ... good luck

There was a guide with rocket launcher Video guide with LB . that's how i got it to work

Not sure it took 6hrs for me to import 2800 roms

Well I figured out my problem was in my metadata folder . I deleted it and it worked again

this is the error im getting when i launched : Problem signature: Problem Event Name: CLR20r3 Problem Signature 01: LaunchBox.exe Problem Signature 02: 8.7.0.0 Problem Signature 03: 5b96a2aa Problem Signature 04: LaunchBox Problem Signature 05: 8.7.0.0 Problem Signature 06: 5b96a2aa Problem Signature 07: 430 Problem Signature 08: 0 Problem Signature 09: System.NullReferenceException OS Version: 6.3.9600.2.0.0.256.48 Locale ID: 1033

not sure what happened but my system updated as it normally does on new release . after the release installed my launch box is completely empty., no roms no systems ..nada so is there a way to restore a backup ??? cause thats a huge issue to have to restore cause i had a lot everything

bump

Not sure what happened after i updated to 8.3 , but my big box seems to crash now ..... here is the error im getting ,can anyone assist ? (Inner Exception) The component cannot be found.

so I finally figured this out , in retroarch , I used the universal bios, copied it twice and named 1 mpr-17933.bin and the other sega_101.bin.....Wouldn't ya know it works now ..lol Which is weird cause in mednafen im not using the universal bios ,but mpr-17933.bin and sega_101.bin and they seem to work with mednafen , but not with retroarch

-L "cores\mednafen_saturn_libretro.dll"

well you have any ideas ?

i would say its a launchbox issue now. i can run the games perfectly through medanfen . i m using the exact same bios for both. but when i gothrough LB and retroarch i get the "drive is empty" error . any clues ?

actually possible bad bios , i was just playing twin bee and now most of my images dont seem to work

screw it ill go back to yabuse works there lol im not fixing 225 images

actually im having an issue , when loading bettle saturn i go to the bios launch sequence and then i get to drive empty , has anyone seen this ?

i have done this it is correct buddy

Yes I am

thats a typo on me . its -L in Launchbox , thanks for having me double check

I downloaded all new cores one by one Jason. The Beetle PCE Fast downloads mednafen_pce_fast_libretro as the core
