How to correctly configure VICE C64 emulator on LB?
legolas119 replied to legolas119's topic in Emulation
hi! I started to configure Vice64, the same as you Before to configure it in LB, i need to try it with games and i have several issues, please can you help me? 1) in Setting --> Input --> i set my Xbox One joypad as Joystick #1 and Numpad as joystick #2. But it seems that even if the xbox controller is recognized, it is not possible to correctly use its input into the games. For example even if i'm able to start a game (a single disk game), i'm not able to play it because i don't know which are the commands into the joystick. For example RUN/STOP command, and so on...so i'm not able to skip the first page and go ahead...Is it necessary to set up the joypad mapping in several ways? 2) Almost all my roms are .D64 format. Some games are .T64. If i try to run a .D64 game with 2 disks, like Last Ninja 2, how can i run it? I choosed File --> Attached DIsk Image --> Drive #8 --> i choosed the first disk and push Autostart: then, i pushed F5: and i'm here, but i'm not able to go ahead... Same issue with all the others multiple disk games..probably in order to correctly load them it is necvessary to load simultaneously ALL the disks, is that correct? For example, i load the first disk of turrican on Drive #8: but i don't know how to go ahead..probably it is necessary to load all the 4 disks..? 3) i tried several single disk game, but even if they started, i'm not able to play any of them...it seems that any command is detected or sometimes there is a black screen and the game doesn't start after the title screen Do you have some suggestions? thank you very much -
hi, i tried to delete MAME platform and import it again following the steps we discussed above, in this way: 1st question: after that i manually moved every playlist under the MAME platform: but i notice an issue: with the MAME FULLSET import, i have 41 playlist. Now, using the normal roms import, i only have 20 playlist...even if i checked as i showed above... why? Half of the playlist are missing...? I noticed that in the following step, LB doesn't easily accept "MAME" (it is the name of my platform and all its folder in LB). It accept "Mame" or "MaME". I have to manually force "MAME". Is this the problem? 2) second question: Is this the right procedure if i don't use anymore MAMEUI.exe and i use now Arcade64.exe? Now i have 2875 games (previously i had 2998 games). 3) third question: when i will need to update the romset (usually i update the romset every 3 months), after updating as usual my roms folder, in Launchbox i only have to choose "Scan for Added roms in currently selected platform and "Scan for Removed roms in currently selected platform". Is this correct? thanks!

ok thanks. Now, i could try to delete in any case the Platform and its roms set already imported and import them again following the steps i posted above, in my frst post (checking "Forse using MAME metadata"). After that, i suppose i should have again 2998 roms. And i will not use anymore the FULL MAME romset import as i'm not using anymore MAMEUI.exe, i'm using Arcade64.exe. When i will have to update the romset, in order to be sure that the update considers the new roms and deletes the roms not anymore supported, it is better to delete the platform again and perform again the import (NOT the MAME full import, of course)? I read time ago that if i simply perform a new import, LB add the new roms but doesn't delete the roms not supported anymore... thanks!

hi, thanks. Well, months and months ago, someone suggeted me here into the forum not to use the "Scan for Added/REmoved system roms" as it could introduce some issues.. Do these 2 functionalities work fine? I tried Scan for Added MAME roms and it doesn't add any new roms, as I suppose. I tried Scan for Removed MAME roms and it asked me to remove about 240 unsupported roms. Now the total roms amount decreased from 3175 to 2998. I suppose that if i delete the MAME platfomr and i import it again following the steps i listed above, LB should import 2998 roms, am I right? thanks!

aaah! ok! so i have to delete again the MAME platform and all its 41 playlis t (without deleting all the media, of course!). Then i perform a Import ROM choosing "Add Folder" and then: + I check NONE in order not to download again all the media (After the full import, i will select all the games and i will download only the missing media): Same as above, i check NONE: and here i check the last option: Is this the right procedure? After that, i will select all MAME imported games and i download only the missing media. And i have to set MAME as parent of all the 41 playlist (unfortunately it is not possible to to that simultaneoulsy). If this is the right procedure, which is the procedure for the next time, when i have to update it? I simply have to do same steps (delete MAME and all the roms, start again the import of the roms folder, etc..)? thanks!

hi, i have a strange issue. Well, until MAMEUI was available (i think until 0.248 version), i imported the complete romset in Launchbox. Later, i changed my frontend, from MAMEUI to ARCADE64: this frontend doesn0t support ALL the MAME/MAMEUI games (for example it doesn't consider not working games, and so on). So, i totally rebuilt my MAMEUI romset with CLRMAME using ARACDE64 in order to have the new romset supported by ARCADE64. Starting from 0.249, i imported in LB the ARCADE64 romset: the first time i imported the romset i perfomred a new clean import. Later, i updated the ARCADE64 romset in LB choosing this option: So i suppose i loaded in LB only the ARCADE64 roms. But today, checking the missing videos/screenshots mame games, i noticed that there are several games without screenshots/videos and others media..but their roms aren't present into my ARACDE64 roms folder! Why? FOr example "Conchess" game: this game isn't present in my MAME roms folder...so...why it is detected after the full import romset of Arcade64? Same issues with several others games with missing media, like Bill Elliott's NASCAR Racing (knascar.zip), Chess King (chesskng.zip) and so on... it seems that i have into my LB romset games not present in my MAME roms folder...but i don't understand why... I would like to have only the roms present into my roms folder, supported by ARCADE64 frontend. When i update the MAME collection, i delete the emulator and then i perform the full import choosing "Update MAME emulator" (i choosed "Automatically Install and COnfigure MAME" the first time i imported the ARCADE64 romset). Thank you very much for your help!

legolas119 commented on Mr. RetroLust's file in Arcade
yes you are right, i downloaded them using LB and emumovies. Perfect., i can delete all the files, copy/past the 1.402 files from this topic and then, in order to add the missing marquees i suppose i have to follow the following steps: 1) Choose GAME MISSING MEDIA -- Missing MArquees 2) CTRL + A in order to select all the games and TOOLS --> DOWNLOAD --> Update metadata and Media for selected games. Currently i have 2351 games with missing Marquees Is this the correct procedure? I don't know any other audit tool and i don't know how to download only Marquees... I have another similar question: if i choos Game missing media --> Game Missing Screenshot, i see that there are 15 games without any screenshot (same for Missing videos). How can i search and download (if available) the screeshot/videos for those games? thank you very much -

legolas119 commented on Mr. RetroLust's file in Arcade
mmmh ok...well, this release has 1.402 marquees in total. Checking my current Marquees folder (i haven't added yet into that folder the 1.402 files) i see about 2.050 marquees (with LB file name), but some of them have duplicate files (as you can see in the picture i posted above). So, more or less, i think that if i delete ALL the files and add only the 1.402 files from this release, i will not loose 600 marquees for sure, probably i will loose 200 marquees. But it is not easy to create the final Marquees list considering both 1.402 files of this release and ONLy the missing games present in my current Marquees folder... -
Hi i'm trying to import "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Re-Revenge (Hack)" for SEGA Genesis in LB, but i'm unable to do that. I checked the box "force import duplicate games", but it is useless... this is a hack of Street of Rage 2 (USA), usually i'm able to import hacked games, but this time the games isn't imported. Can you help me please? thank you

legolas119 commented on Mr. RetroLust's file in Arcade
thank, i unzipped everything. But i'm not ale to overwrite any file into my current Marquees folder as all the 1.402 files have a different name from the ones present into the Marquees folder. I mean: Marquees folder: The collection present into this topic: If i add all the 1.402 files to my current Marquees collection, do you think that the will be detected in any case, even if the game name is different? thanks -

hi, many thanks! Currently i have Marquees into the path: D:\LaunchBox\Images\MAME\Arcade - Marquee I merged your 3 .zip filed, overwriting everything, now there are 1402 files. In order to use your marquees, have i to overwrite marquees included into this pack: into the path: D:\LaunchBox\Images\MAME\Arcade - Marquee with the 1402 files included in your zips files? And how can I view them in BigBox? thank you! -
Hi, i have just performed a full MAME import in LB as i changed my frontend from MAMEUI to Arcade64. And i downloaded for the first time Bezels too with the automatic tool. I noticed that LB created a new MAME 0.249 folder into this path: D:\LaunchBox\Emulators\MAME 0.249 and saved bezels into this folder: D:\LaunchBox\Emulators\MAME 0.249\artwork But my MAME folder is saved into this path: D:\EMULATORI\MAME so i would like to save bezels here: D:\EMULATORI\MAME\artwork So, 1) can i moved belzels from D:\LaunchBox\Emulators\MAME 0.249\artwork to D:\EMULATORI\MAME\artwork ? And then can i delete the just created folder D:\LaunchBox\Emulators\MAME 0.249 ? I don't need it as i already have my installation MAME (Arcade64) folder here: D:\EMULATORI\MAME 2) This is my MAME installazion folder with its .exe file (Arcade64.exe): but into my Emulators section i have the following 2 rows: and i don't know how to fix this... Can i delete Mame 0.249 row? And i would like to modify the .exe file into the MAME row, adding Arcade64.exe file instead of mame.exe file, i changed it in this way: Is this correct? thanks!
