I remember that in th past i was able to view the games manual..i don't know why they don't work anymore now...

    well..i don't know how to do that...but in any case, i restart the pc and now the TAB command works...

    But i have 2 problems:

    1) some games doesn't start anymore... I'm absolutely sure they worked fine with my previous installation.  Now when i run the game (using LB), it appears a blue screen like this:

    Whats-App-Image-2023-10-08-at-21-45-58.j

    or like this, where the game freezes during the loading process:

    Whats-App-Image-2023-10-08-at-22-48-10.j

    and there is a sound (TAC , TAC, TAC, TAC...continuosly and quickly...), the pc is freezed, i can't stop the emulator and I can't do anything else..i can only restart the pc...

    In addition there are games like Alien Minds that start but after the title screen, when i push ENTER, it appears a black screen and again the emulator freezes and it again there is the same sound effect (tac, tac, tac, tac...). I have to push CTRL+ALT+START and reboot the pc...

    The game is correctly configured:

    2) if i try some games using CMD commands, in this way:

    Cattura3.png

    the game doesn't start (and Arkanoid is working if i run it with LB).

    So, is there any typing error in my Command Promt screen? The game of course is present:

    ok, i downloaded the apple2gs.zip file and put it in the following paths:

    D:\EMULATORI\MAME Others System\software

    D:\EMULATORI\MAME Others System\roms

    and i still continue to have this error:

    Cattura.png

    then i put the apple2gs.zip into the same folder where i put the games: D:\EMULATORI\ROM\Apple II GS and now it works. I don't know why, in my previous installation i dind't have that file in that path (as i previously said, the folder with games is still the same, i dind't delete it), for sure in my previous installation i put the file in a diffeent path. But it doesn't matter :)

    Now i tried to configure the mame.ini file like the one present in my Arcade64 folder, but the setting with filter, hlsl, scanlines and so on aren't detected... I'm quite sure that they were detected in my previous installation...

    I have another issue: when i run the games, the TAB button doesn't work so i can't set and modify any MAME option...i really don't know why, usually it alwasy works in my MAME and Arcade64 installation...in this installation it isn't detected...

    thank you very much!

    That's because you are missing a base directory in your setup.  Don't get "roms" and "software" mixed up.  The MAMEUI directory (just like MAME) should point to your base ROM directory always.  This is where your arcade setup files are located.  Software (i.e., the games that were on floppy disk) should be pointed to separately.  I don't recall on MAMEUI but more than likely you should add another entry in that ROMs screen (so two entries) to your base MAME directory + the directory where you floppy disk images are located.   Running computer setups always requires in essence two directories vs arcade only one.  

    thanks, i added again the original rom path:

    even if i store in any case the Apple II GS games in EMULATORI\ROM\Apple II GS:

    Cattura6.png

    Is it necessary to move the games from there to D:\EMULATORI\MAME Others System\roms? FOr sure in my previous installation the roms where always here: D:\EMULATORI\ROM\Apple II GS as i didn't move or delete them. I only deleted the emulator folder :(

    Checking my old configuration screenshot, i see that i set the emulator in this way:

    Cattura9.png

    Today, as you can see, the Dedault Command -Line Parameters and the Sample Command have different values: which is the right configuration?

    hi,

    ii kindly ask your help: unfortunately i deleted my old installation folder of MAMEUI with the Apple II GS configuration...i configured it months ago using this guide....but now i'm not abel to run again the games...

    I'm using the lates MAMEUI version 0.259 64 bit. I set up the roms folder in this way:

    Cattura5.png

    and this is my roms folder:

    Cattura6.png

    but any game is detected in MAMEUI:

    Cattura7.png

    I configure the Emulator in this way:

    Cattura3.png

    Cattura4.png

    But when i run every game it appears this: 

    Cattura.png

    and this:

    Cattura2.png

    Please can anyone help me? Which is the missing/wrong set up? I don't remember how i configured it months ago.... :( I tried every game in my previous installation and they perfectly work...so for sure there is something missing/wrong in this new installation...

    thank you!

    How to run in LB Nintendo 3DS Citra emulator games in .cia format

    in Troubleshooting

    Posted

    Hi

    i'm using Citra emulator to run Nintendo 3DS games. They correctly work on LB too but only if they are in .3ds format.

    Games in .cia format need to be installed on Citra so it seems that it is not possibile to automatically run them on LB: if i doulbe click on the game, it appears a pop up that requires to install the game, even if it is already installed:

    Is it possible to solve this little issue?

    thank you!

     

    Byuu and Bsnes emulators: Big Box doesn't detect EXIT and CLOSE THE ACTIVE WINDOW commands

    in Troubleshooting

    Posted

    Hi

    i mapped EXIT and CLOSE THE ACTIVE WINDOWS command on the LEFT TRIGGER and RIGHT TRIGGER on my joypad. Usually they works, but they don't work when I'm playing with snes games with Byuu and Bsnes emulators: my default emulator is Byuu, sometimes i need to use Bsnes. 

    Do you know if it is possible to fix this issue? Even if i push SHOW PAUSE SCREEN (this command works properly) and then i choose EXIT, it doesn't work. So if i want to close the game or the emulator, i need to push WINDOWS button on the keyboard and then manally close the emulator.

    thank you for your help!

    I've found an even better way to launch Punes in fullscreen! Paste the following in the default command-line parameters on the details screen: 

    --fullscreen yes

     

    thanks, in this way:

    There's a few ways around that problem, but what I do is add this script to the same "Running Script" section, just after the one mentioned before:

    ; This section closes NESpunes when pressing Escape

    $Esc::

    {

    Process, Close, {{{StartupEXE}}}

    }

    LShift::return
     

    With that, you'll be able to use the 'esc' key to close Punes. Have fun!

    thanks! It works! But now it doesn't work anymore the fullscreen script...

    I'm using the latest punes version, the 0.110: probably it worked before to update PuNes to its latest version...do you try the 0.110 version? 

    thanks!

    yes it works thanks. But now i'm not able anymore to shut down the emulator...without the script, i push CTRL+ALT+DEL in order to manually shut down the emulator. But now if i push CTRL+ALT+DEL the screen freezes but i can't access to Manage the running application in order to stop it as i did without the script.

    How do you shut down the emulator while running it through LB or BB?

    many thanks!

    MAME roms detected in LB even if they aren't present into my romset

    in Troubleshooting

    Posted · Edited by legolas119

    DOne, perfect, it is a really easy way to create all the missing playlist after the Arcade64 fullromset import!  There is only ONE missing playlist not recreated: Vertically Oriented Games.xml and  CHD Required.

    I can manually create the CHD required playlist using the method explained in this thread, (see above). But i don't know how to add the Vertically Oriented Games...is this playlist removed from the official MAME playlist? If so, is it normal that LB doesn't create it as a missing playlist. I had it months ago when i used MAME fullset, i don't know why now it i choose Create missing playlist it doesn't re-create it... do you have any idea?

    thank you!

    Noobs: first installation of Launchbox/BigBox - questions

    in Noobs

    Posted · Edited by legolas119

    Hi, i have a question about Big Box theme, please. Is it better to choose one of the available theme into the Big Box "Manage Themes --> Available (ALL) " option, is that correct?  For example if i choose a theme, first of all i have to Install the theme (1), then i can choose one (or more) of the Platform themes (2) and in the end one (or more) of the Games View (3) and install the themes i like. After that, i can choose every Platform and Games theme related to the specific main theme (COIN OP in this case) and merge them as i prefer. Is that correct? For example i can install the Text List with Details Filter View and the Vertical Wheel 1 Games View, right?
