  1. SentaiBrad said Yea yea. :P I wish you were around for the T-Shirt contest when we had that going on though. Awww, next time! I actually ordered myself one of the T-shirts (the user-designed "You've Got LaunchBox" one) yesterday. <3
  2. I've decided to proof-read everything I type in Photoshop CC from now on. :P
  3. Have you tried copying all your core configs (from the previous version) back to the /config/ directory and then open RetroArch, load a core and then 'Load configuration' for that core? (Rinse and repeat for each core)
  4. DOS76 said Genesis one is my favorite. That's not how you spell 'MegaDrive', silly.

  6. Absolutely! - Pop your 2nd/3rd/etc disc in your drive and run the MS-DOS install wizard within LaunchBox. - Follow the process exactly as you would with Disc 1 until you come across the problem of selecting the install executable. - To continue, simply select any random file on the disc and continue to copy the CD to your destination folder. - Once LaunchBox has created the image and copied it to your HDD it'll run DosBox to install, but will fail as we've selected a random file. - Exit out of DosBox and click 'Cancel' when asked if you need to re-install. - Rename or move the BIN and CUE images to the directory where your Disc 1 is stored - Edit the game in LaunchBox and select the 'Mounts' tab. - Select 'Add Disc Image' and here you can point it at the CUE for Disc 2. - Select the SAME Drive Letter for all the images. - When playing the game (or installing) press Ctrl+F4 to switch between the discs. ** Alternatively you can remove all images from the 'Mounts' tab and use the following line in a custom DosBox .conf for your game: IMGMOUNT D "..\..\LaunchBox\Games\MS-DOS\YourGame\MyGame_Disc1.cue" "..\..\LaunchBox\Games\MS-DOS\YourGame\MyGame_Disc2.cue" -t iso -fs iso - More information about disc mounting commands here: https://www.dosbox.com/wiki/IMGMOUNT Hope that helps!
  7. Solved! Aliens: A Comic Book Adventure, when installed, keeps the executables on the disc rather than the HDD. Solution steps: * Install game as-per-normal within LaunchBox. * Edit game in LaunchBox desktop and remove the IMAGE from the MOUNTS tab. * Create two batch tiles (use any txt editor and save the extension as .bat) -- We could edit the DosBox configuration for this game only under dos 'DOS' tab, but we need to be able to get to the SETUP.exe ALIENS.bat (Change 'Aliens_Comic Book Adventure' to your install name) IMGMOUNT D "..\..\LaunchBox\Games\MS-DOS\Aliens_Comic Book Adventure\Aliens_Comic Book Adventure.cue" -t iso -fs iso d: cd aliens aliens.exe SETUP.bat IMGMOUNT D "..\..\LaunchBox\Games\MS-DOS\Aliens_ Comic Book Adventure\Aliens_ Comic Book Adventure.cue" -t iso -fs iso d: cd aliens setup.exe * You can now edit the game in LaunchBox, in tab 'Launcher' you can now point the application path and the Configuration path to the batch files you've created. * Pop in CD 2 and create an image for that. Tips for running the game: * Don't auto-detect audio cards and use standard Sound Blaster. * Change discs in DosBox with Ctrl+F4 where needed. ** Can this thread please be renamed from 'Help Required' to *SOLVED*. Hope it helps others!
  8. Jason, you're a star! The custom config is definitely the right track, I think. Big 'however' though, is that any commands run in there are entered before the image is mounted. (see image below) I'd have no problems removing the CUE from LaunchBox's Mounts (in the game) and just copy the IMGMOUNT command shown, before the attempts to CD directorys, in the image. But I've been keeping everything on my OneDrive (gotta fill that free 1TB of space somehow!) so I can have my games synced on my PC and my Laptop. I'm not sure if the path will work with just IMGMOUNT D "..\Games\MS-DOS\etc.cue" so I don't have to have set drive letters? -=-=- Ctrl+F4 = Changes disc image in DosBox apparently <3 -=-=- Thanks SO much for your continued help and such an AWESOME application!
  9. Hi all! Digging out my old DOS games and installing in LaunchBox (I LOVE this!). But Having trouble with Aliens - Comic book adventure. Issue: The game installs via LaunchBox just fine, the CUE/BIN is created and the install directory seems fine. However, the application exe to launch the game is on the disk(CUE) in x:\aliens\aliens.exe. I've tried the following in a .bat; mount d d:\ -t cdrom d:\aliens aliens.exe But I'm not having any luck. (I added the mount command after not having luck getting to d: since I figured it's because it's not mounted at time of clicking 'play') I'm sure there's something super obvious I'm missing, but it eludes me. Any help would be appreciated! - Side question... CD 2, how do I go about getting that mounted within LaunchBox?
  10. Hello! I know this is my first post, but I just had to get this information down somewhere where I (and other people) can get to it to get this game to actually run properly. The attached .txt file is a custom perfectly WORKING config for DosBox for use in LaunchBox. Either see below for the changes or download, rename to .conf and point your Jetstrike install to this custom .conf. Changes made: Machine Type: VGA Only CPU Core: Simple CPU Cycles: 10000 (Ten Thousand) <-- this speed appears to play at the same speed the CD32 version runs <3 Sound Blaster Type: Sound Blaster Pro 2.0 Game Instructions: Rotate aircraft: Up/Down arrows Throttle - Numbers 1-0 (1 for minimum, 0 for maximum) Auto Throttle: Tab Shoot: Space Bombs/Missles: Alt/Ctrl (right side of keyboard) (depending on your loadout) Eject: E Autopilot: A Undercarriage: U Fly-by-wire Landing: lower carriage and hold shoot/space to auto-pitch craft for landing VTOL/Agile Mode: Enter (Harrier & Chopper) I have the original CD (DOS and CD32 versions) and Instructions if anyone's super interested in scans and such. The Manual has more information about the weapons and on-screen icons etc, but the above info will get you playing! I really hope someone finds this info useful to get their game running in LaunchBox. I'll possibly add more info to this and other games in the future as and when I come across certain problem-ridden titles. :P
