Hi all,
following this topic in order to install Neon Deluxe Arcade on BigBox:
i unckecked ALL the flag both in these sections:
Is this correct? Doing this, i loose some effects i suppose but i don't notice which effects...i suppose the author suggest to do this in order to run quickly big box, right?
Another question: this theme is really cool both in LB and bigbox. I like it a lot: but in Big Box is it possible to see a picture of every system into the wheel? Currently i can see only a casual game of that platform:
It could be cool to see a picture of the system selected, but i don't know if it is possible.
thanks!

Hi,
even if i monthly update my MAME fullset, i don't load it in LB monthly. Usually i update it in LB a couple of times for year. Now, LB changed some functionalities to update MAME. Is this process correct?
1) Update MAME fullset with CLRMAME
2) in LB: Tools --> Download --> Force Update Game Database Metadata
3) Select MAME platform --> right click --> Delete (chosse "NO" into the 2nd pop up in order to avoid to delete all the media files!). Close LB and manually delete all the MAME playlist .xml files
4) Open LB --> Choose MAME full import --> choose the roms path and latest MAME version available in LB (usually it is the latest one released) --> choose the 2nd option:
5) uncheck ALL the media files download (as they are already available and i will update only the new games during the following steps) and uncheck "Remove roughly-matched duplicate images" (as i will clean duplicate images lates, with the specific function)
6) Check NONE into the following option too (in order to avoid to download again ALL the media files):
7) I avoid to download Bezels as i don't have Retroarch and i already have into my MAMEUI collections the flyers and so on, so i don't want to overwrite them.. I suppose i have to choose if i can view bezels or flyers and so on when i play MAME games.
8 ) choose which games category to skip and i leave this as default:
9) At the end of the process, i have to manually modify the Parent path of every playlist (39 times...) in order to insert every playlist undert the MAME parent. In this way:
10) Then, push CTRL + A in order to select ALL mame games just imported and "Tools --> Download --> Update metadata and Media for selected games" in order to download all the missing media in particular for the new games added
Is this the right process?
thanks!

-

HI
several months ago i added to hacked roms on my Sega Genesi collection on LB:
Street Fighter II The World Warriors +.zip
Street Fighter II REMASTER.zip
they were present on LB and all they media were already present. But now i'm looking for them in LB and they aren't present anymore. If i try to import them again, LB detect them as duplicate: i can import them again only if i check: import duplicate games. How can i solve this issue? THese evening LB occurs an error and crashes while i'm looking my genesis collection, i don't know it that issue caused the problem...
How do you suggest i can solve this?
thanks!
-
ah ok. Well i don't like Retroarch, i tried to configure it several times but it is so chaotic...
-
well, in order to play them with Kega, it is necessary to follow the following 2 steps:
1) Open the ROM (Load Genesis Rom), select the .md file. You will see the lockout screen, that's fine.
2) Open the CUE (Load Sega CD), select the .cue file. The emulator will reset and enable CD support.
I don't know how to configure this in LB...

Hi,
currently i have configured my genesis emulator, KEga and Blastem on LB. I also discovered that several genesis games has a MSU version and i downloaded them. THey perfectly works with KEga fusion. But is there a way to launch them with Launchbox too?
Is fo, i suppose i have to choose if i want to keep configured the stanrdard rom or its msu version into LB, right? i can't load both version i suppose as i can differentiate them...
thanks!

Hi guys
please i need your help. I have updated to the latest version FSUAE and i updated all my 3 folders: Amiga, Amiga CDTV and Amiga CD32. They perfectly works. Amiga and Amiga CDTV perfectly works in Launchbox too.
But Amiga CD32 doesn't work anymore in launchbox. It perfectly worked months ago, when i followed the guide of this tutorial. Then i didn't try it for some months.
I don't know where is the issue, if it is related to newer version of Launchbox or whatelse....
When i start a game, it appears this screen, meaning : Impossible to find the specified file:
but the emualtor is correctly configured:
here the settings of both emulator and UID settings:
and all my uid files are always stored here:
i checked my uuids files and they are empty files...is this correct? I think that they always where like now, i didn't change them:
please, can anyone help me? I don't know if it doesn't detect the games or the emulator...
thanks!
EDIT: i solved the issue. There was the wrong emulator associated to the games. It is necessary to use this:
but before there was this emulator..i don't remember why it was necessary to create it...do you know why it it is necessary?

Hi,
i have updated my FS-UAE to the latest version. I updated the database and at the beginning, after the scan, all my games where detected.
Later, i added this row to the settings (I suppose it is correct to do it, even if it was not necessary as the game were automatically detected in any case,,,):
https://i.postimg.cc/SN855s7V/Amiga6.png
After that, during the scan, it appears: Error, database locked. I closed FS-UAE and i scan it again and now it completed the scan. But several games aren't detected anymore. In particular the following 5 games:
1) BubbleBobble_v2.0_2518.lha
2) ChaosEngine2_v2.1_0172.lha (i tried ChaosEngine2_v2.2_AGA_0173.lha too, but same issue)
3) JamesPond_v2.1.lha
4) Lemmings2_v1.6_1MB_NTSC_1976.lha (i tried Lemmings2_v1.6_1MB_0351.lha too, but same issue)
5) RuffNTumble_v2.1_0199.lha (I tried RuffNTumble_v2.3_0199.lha too, but same issue)I tried to delete and create again the database, but the 5 games didn't appear anymore.
Can you help me? How can i solve this issue?
thank you!

yeah, it works now? many many thanks guys!

hi
i have a little problem: starting from today, i want to change my default emulator for PS2. I used Spectabis + PCSX2 stable release. But now i have configured the Nightly Build and i want to use it with LB.
So, i choosed a game, and right click on it --> Edit --> EMulation --> I choosed PCSX2 (the nightly version) instead of Spectabis:
then Associated Platform --> Ps2
and i added it as default emulator of all my ps2 games.
But when i try to start a game, it doens't start...it seems that a little box appears but it immediately closes. It seems that the emulator try to start but it immediatly is closed...
have i to set anything in particular to start this emulator?
thanks!
-
thank you very much

ok, thanks!
So i could import Bezels for MAME only at the current time. But i already have bezels activated on my MAME configuration and when i start a MAME game with launchbox, it directly appears with bezles around the screen...so...i don't know if it is better to download additional bezels from LB...i don't know how the game will appear if i have 2 set of bezels...one from MAME configuration and another one from LB...
thank you

Hi,
i just downloaded the latest LB versione, the 12.12 and i watched the video, as usual:
but i have a coule of questions:
1) Bezels: are they available only for MAME and Retroarch emulator? I have MAME, but i don't have Retroarch ( prefer to keep a different emulator for every system, i don't like Retroarch). If so, do you know if it is planned to release bezels for others emulators too? I would like to have them for my emulators too..
2) I don't understand very well the new feature related to the import of image packs: now, when i import a games set, LB automatically download from emumovies,hyperspin-fe (I have a lifetime subscription for both) and so on. So LB already download box, covers, and so on.. is the new feature in particular useful for users without any subscription to emumovies/hyperspin?
Thanks! -
perfect, many thanks!

The video does explain well where you need to enable it within LB. In the options section there's a section under Integration labelled Retro Achievements. In that section is where you would put your username and API key (that you can get from your profile section on the Retroachievements page). You don't need retroarch per say in order to enable retroachievements. But, you do need an emulator that also does allow for retrroachievement integration as well. The launchbox integration just shows you the achievements possible for games which have some, and which you might have completed, but it's the emulator that is what talks with the retroachievements website to mark them as completed when you do those achievements.
Retroarch is one the easiest to use because, as the video shows, integration is easy, and many cores in retroarch are compatible with achievements. But, like I said, you don't need to use retroarch, but if you want the achievements to be marked as completed as you do them, then whatever emulator you are using for that platform must be able to also integrate with the retroachivements website otherwise they will never be marked as completed.
For LB, you also need to make sure you're using a theme which has been updated recently enough, that it supports the retroachievments. If the theme doesn't support it, then you might not have a way to view them when you select a game. The same goes with BB theme. As long as you're using one that's been made, or updated recently, and you have the credentials entered correctly in the launchbox retro achievements section, they should show for you on a game that supports them.
As for where you can request new features I believe there's usually a poll that comes out that people can submit their suggestions. In the past Jason used to have live streams on youtube where people could post their suggestions, and he would compile them in a list and people could vote for the items they wanted to see. I'm not sure now days how/where you could submit items, but maybe a mod can answer that for you
thanks!
Is there an emulator list that support this feature? So i can know if i have those emulators or not.
thank you

Top of the page, Help & Support/Request A Feature.
many thanks! done! In my opinion it could be useful to add this feature: i would like to have the possibility to add multiple game-version into the same slot. Foe example, Super Metroid for Super NEs. Currently i have 3 roms: original USA rom, Project Eris hack and Redux hack. Now i need to create 3 different game icon. With the new feature, we could add the 3 roms into the same game icon. Then we can choose with a right click, which game version we want to play. And, with a specific badge icon near the name "Super MEtroid", we can immediately understand that the game has mutiple versions.

hi guys,
i open again this my old topic as i have a new question: how can I enable the "ACHIEVEMENTS" section in LB 12.11? If i choose a game, i only have Overview and Related games sections. Is it necessary to follow this guide?
If so, does it mean that i need to use Retroarch in order to enable Achivements section? If so, i can't use it as i don't use Retroarch in LB.
Ah, last question: i would like to suggest a new feature for the future LB release. Where i can suggest it?
thanks!

Please, can you help me?
thank you very much!

Hi,
i don't remember how to add a multiple .adf game to FS-UAE...please can you help me? I have to add Shadow Warriors.I pushed Config and i selected Default ADF and selected Amiga 500:
https://i.postimg.cc/htrRmjQR/Cattura4.png
then i push START (Do I have to save the config before to push START? Currently FS-UAE doesn't detect the game in the game list...):
when i run it, it appeaers this:
please, can you help me? which is the right way to configure a multiple .adf game and see it in the games list?
I also tried to add the game in this way:
but the game isn't present in the left, into the gmaes list.
And when i push start, it appears:
Even if i push F12 --> DISK 2, i still continue to see the same screen...the game doesn't start.
I don't know if i have to change some parameter...or probably it is necessary to create a Config file...i remember that for several other games i created a specific config file, like Shadow o the Beast: here its config file
https://i.postimg.cc/66f4KK1P/Cattura7.pngand here the game:
https://i.postimg.cc/1RBXTH8h/Cattura8.pngbut i don't remember how i created it... and i don't know if in this case there is another problem...related to the error message with Shadow Warriors
I tried to load the game into the ShadowWarriors_v1.1_0830.lha format but the games doesn't appeaers into the games list into FS-UAE. It is really strange...
Do you have any suggestion?
thank you very much!
Adding a new MAME User interface to LB: how to add ARCADE64 and bezels
in Troubleshooting
Posted · Edited by legolas119
HI
as starting from next months MAMEUI will not be updated, i have to change my mame user interface and a lot of people suggested ARCADE64. Well, i have 3 questions:
1) now i suppose that after creating with clrmame the new ARCADE64 romset, i have to remove my MAMEUI installation from LB as described here
and import again the MAME fullset using the arcade64.exe emulator and its romset, is this correct? Probably as i change the emulator (not MAMEUI but Arcade64) it is better to choose "Automatically Install and Configure" instead of "Update MAME emulator", right? If so, can i keep still valid all the media already downloaded for the MAMEUI fullset avoiding to re-downloading everything or is it better to download everything again as the emulator is changed (but the folder name is still MAME, i will not change any path and name).
If so, i would like to add bezels: i know that now it is possibile to add Theme Bezels (and System bezel for games that don't have its own theme bezels) are described here:
But i discovered that it exist this beautifulf bezels pack:
2) is it possibile to keep the Mr. RetroLust's bezel pack as default and the Bezels Theme (and System) pack downloaded by Launchbox during the import process for all the games that don't have a Mr. RetroLust's bezel? It could be great to have a bezel for every MAME game (Mr Retrolust if it exist, otherwise a Theme/Sysem bezel).
3) Following the installation video of Mr. RetroLust's, i see that it is necessary to save the packs into Launchbox/Emulators/MAME/artwork folder. But my MAME (and all emulators in general) isn't stored in that path. I save my MAME in D:\EMULATORI\MAME\artwork. Does it work in any case? Currently in this folder i have my artwork collection downloaded by this website (https://www.progettosnaps.net/artworks/). Before to download Launchbox Bezels during the rom import process and befopre to add the Retrolust's bezel, i suppose i have to delete all files present into the MAME/artwork folder, is that correct? I suppose this is the right procedure:
A) delete all files stored into D://EMULATORI/MAME/artwork folder
B) Import the Arcade64 romset downloading all the Theme/System bezels during the rom import process. I suppose LB automaticaly will save bezels in D://EMULATORI/MAME/artwork folder
C) After that, i download Retrolust's packs and overwrite them into the D://EMULATORI/MAME/artwork folder: in this way, i can keep saved bezels for all the games not covered by RetroLust's pack.
Is this correct?
thank you!
