I highly recommend this utility: https://schinagl.priv.at/nt/hardlinkshellext/linkshellextension.html I have used it for a number of years. While you can create everything manually in Windows, this util makes things easy.

Would you be adverse to just creating something like a hard link or junction back to the default location? I mess around with retroarch defaults all the time and have tried this successfully.

Perhaps a strange choice, but I would pick Arkanoid or DX-Ball for the PC. I played the heck out of those and every time I happen on another variant I will play it without fail. Something about that play mechanic fits my mental grooves.

The example given does require a bit of retroarch knowledge. I didn't make it more specific because the Bezel app is used for more than just LaunchBox. As far as LaunchBox configuration using the latest Bezel app referred to in your post, you would use Tools/Manage Emulators, then select Retroarch and click on the Edit button. Find the Associated Platforms section, then the list of cores and "Extra command-line parameters. In that parameters section, use the -c option and the name of the cfg file created when the app installed the selected bezels. Look in the root Retroarch directory for a list of the cfg files available. Hope this helps. If not, give us a list of the cfg files available and a pic of the Associated Platforms panel.

Change Show inputs on Overlay to Off, then save a new config. Don't forget to overwrite the old cfg with the new one after you exit Retroarch.

You need to tell retroarch to load your config file for that core. Click on Associated Platforms and add something like this to the Extra command-line parameters: -c "config\melondsds_libretro.cfg" If your cfg file is in a different location, edit that example to match yours.

GearColeco only supports col, cv, bin, and rom extensions. Probably need to find different versions of those roms.

What does your retroarch command line look like?

Look for melonds_libretro.cfg in config and copy that to melondsds_libretro.cfg.

That is why no bezels are showing. Copy the cfg files from melonDS to your melonDS DS folder.

Works perfectly here using that core. Works fine using my normal core, desmume too. What is the directory named under config for your medondsds core cfg files? It should be "melonDS DS".

So, he has bezels showing for other platforms? If so, all I can recommend is that he compare his RetroArch installation with yours, since you are sharing files. Verify structures under config and overlays\GameBezels.

Generally, a symptom like that means there is a mismatch between the cfg file names installed under the RetroArch\config\Flycast directory and the names of the game files.

Wow, this is a great collection. Also, the kind of thing you don't realize you need until you see it. Very well done.

First, apologies for not seeing the other posting that covers this and a couple of different errors. Finally, today has indeed been worse. I had to reload each search about 5-8 times, all day. Very strange.

Not sure what this means, but for most of the day, I randomly get a blank page just saying "no available server" in response to searching the online database.

I would have to agree with launchretrogirl2562. Posting your csv file, or least a few representative lines would really help. For myself, if I had that same situation, I would write a custom parsing script and write out a platform xml file directly, or if you don't have the coding skills, use one of the AI online tools that is good at writing code. You would probably have to upload a short example from Launchbox so the AI knew what syntax is required, then your csv file. You should get really close doing that, and it may work straight away.

Do you have Overlays switched on in retroarch? Also make sure you don't have a bezel defined when you save the default retroarch.cfg file.

Hmm, it shouldn't too hard. You want to save the default retroarch.cfg with the 'Save configuration on Quit' set to Off. After that, as long as you have config subdirectories that hold the cfg files that match the names of your roms. These subdirectories should have the name of the cores you are using to run a game, examples from my config subdirectory: These directories should have cfg files which point to your bezels which live in the overlays\GameBezels directory with subdirectories name for the system being used. Example: See if you can get this much confirmed, then I or a ton of others should be able to finish you up.

Wowzers! Much better, well done.

For whatever reason, I'm not seeing any performance improvement when searching on the DB. If anything, my average response time is worse. I probably search at least 100 times per day, and search times have been worse since the announcement.

I haven't changed anything specific for DS games/core related settings.
