hi 1) King of fighters 98 Ultimate match final edition: yes I have already removed that files (there were only the GAME Loader RH files) , but when i load it, I have the black screen: I tried The King of Fighters 98 and it works correctly. Only Te King of fighter 98 Ultimate Match Final Edition Nexiva Live doesn't work... Probably I need a better version of this game? Please can you tell me via PM where you downloaded your gmae? 2) Daemon Bride: i had same issue, but i solved, there was the antivirus that deleted the game.exe file as a virus! Now it perfectly works. 3) Battle Fantasia: i'm using the Logiteh Rumblepad and it perfectly works with every game, but it is necessary to set it as "Direct Input". If I choose "Xinput" it is not possible to configure the button mapping thanks!

ah, I solved the issue in antoher way: when I import the game, LB associates Taito Type X platform: but if I change it to Teknoparrot: and it is ok Now I have solved all the issues with LB Many thanks! I still have to solve some issues with 4 games in Teknoparrot. Can you help me? Here the issues, we can try to solve them togheter? We better deal with one problem at a time 1) King of Fighters '98 Ultimate Match Final Edition for NesicaxLive and Daemon Bride: when i start the game, there is a black screen in the top left corner and the game doesn't start 2) Battle Fantasia: the game runs perfectly, but the control input aren't detected. It seems that it is a known issue but i don't find the patch.. 3) Chaos Breaker: this game has a lot of issues. It start only in windowed mode and if I don't apply the CRT patch. But in any case it runs with a high speed and then crashes. If I apply the speed patch, it works correctly, but in windowed mode (the screen is really little) and in really low resolution. If I apply the crt fix, it seems that it work, but the file of this patch overwrite the files of the "pseed patch" and so the game is still unplayable. In addition, the game isn't correctly displayed: https://postimg.cc/yD7Y71pY I tried several ways but i don't find how to fix them

yes, confirmed, it works with your method too And it works also with these 2 different configurations: or many thanks! Now I have to solve the other problem. And I see that i have exactly the same problem also if I add additional games in Teknoparrot, for example Melty Blood Actess Again Current Code: if I don't search a match in LB, the game, without any metadata and extrafile, is correctly under Teknoparrot platform: but if i try to link it to a LB record, like this one: LB associates the game to another emulator: and even if if i changed the emulator, adding again "Teknoparrot", tha game isn't moved under Teknoparrot platform: It means that if I want the game under teknoparrot platfom, it is mandatory NOT to link it with an existing record in LB...but it is really strange! See also my previous post where i reported another example..:( thank you!

Well i solved the issue of launching games in LB with teknoparrot in this way: I created a blanck txt file named as the xml file of the game (from GameProfile folder ) and here I copied the xml name of the game from the UserProfile folder (sometimes the xml file isn't the same both in Gameprofile folder and Userprofile folder, for example Goketsuji.xml in GameProfile and PowerInstinctV.xml in Userprofile folder) NOw I need to solve the issue related to the game that is under TaitoType X platform...but i don't know how...:\

Thanks. I tried to copy my BladeStrangers.xml file to the ROM folder where I have the games folder of Teknoparrot and I renamed it as BladeStrangers.xml.txt. But i still have same problem: when i click on the game, it opens the Teknoparrot interface...I followed 3 different guide on youtube, but still have same result I tried everything, but it seems that the games can't start... Speaking about my 2nd problem, i'm sorry but I haven't understood: currently, for TaitoTypeXtra games, I was force to creat a single emulator for each game. For Goketsuji Ichizoku - Matsuri Senzo Kuyo I created "Taito Type X19" emulator and I associated to this game the Taito Type X platform: And the game works (see game N.2 in my previuous post). When I import in LB, under Teknoparrot Platform, the game (but it is not the same folder, i downloaded a different version of this game!), the game is correctly moved under teknoparrot platform, but as you can see, it isn't correctly detected: So i found in google that the right name for LB is: Shin Gouketsuji Ichizoku: Matsuri Senzo Kuyou (https://gamesdb.launchbox-app.com/games/details/51861). So I rename it correctly and i choosed this: and LB automatically associates this emulator: but it doesn't make sense, this emulator is associated to another game, En-Eins Perfektewelt in my Taito Type X platform! and so LB move the game from Teknoparrot platform to Taito Type X platform... Even if I change the the emulator, the game still stays in the Taito Type X platfom: I don't know how to solve this stupid issue

hi, @Mr.Miguardi I sent you a PM, thank you!

I have another problem: i'm trying to import a game (Goketsuji Ichizoku - Matsuri Senzo Kuyo) and I already have this game for Taito Type X platform too, launched with TaitoTypeXtra emulator. But during the import process, LB move my game under the Taito Type X platform and automatically change the emulator (from Teknoparrot to TaitoTypXtra), I'm not able to keep it under Teknoparrot platform, even if i manually change again the emulator: the N.1 is for Teknoparrot, N.2 is for TypeXtra platform (I have 2 different game version, i'm not using the same!). How can I move the n.2 under Teknoparrot platform?

thanks. Done: now when I click on the game cover, it appears the Teknoparrot window: but the game doesn't start... here my Emulator configuration ( also tried to uncheck the check for updated option, but i still have same problem): Is there anything that i can change? many thanks!

hi, many thanks! I have configured my first game in this way, but the game doesn't start... 1) created a new platform named "teknoparrot", without any value in the Scrape As field 2) Added the emulator with its own command line: 3) added it as default emulator: 4) used the xml file stored in the TeknoParrot\GameProfiles path: 5) in the Emulation tab, added the User custom command line, with the copy/past value of the xml file from stored in the TeknoParrot\UserProfiles path: But when i click on the game cover, it doesn't start... I don't know where I have done a wrong configuration... many thanks!

Hi, I would like to add Teknoparrot to LB and i saw some videotutorial, but it seems that there are several ways...so I have 3/4 questions: 1) During the import process, is it correct to import the .exe file of each game or its .xml file stored in the \TeknoParrot\GameProfiles path? 2) Platform: is it necessary to create a platform for each system supported in Teknoparrot? Or can I create a generci platform named "Teknoparrot"? 3) during the Emulator configuration, is it necessary to enter the string --profile= in the Command line field? 4) is it necessary, for each game, fill in its own Custom Command line with the name of the game which is present in the xml file in the TeknoParrot\UserProfiles path? thank you very much!

thank you!

thanks! I usually update the regular MAME UI fullset, i don't use any particular MAME version. So, with the new official LB release, it will be possibile to understand when LB would be ready to import the new official MAME UI version? thanks

yessss, thank you guys!!!!!

Hi, is the procedure above correct? thank you!

HI I have configured Xemu as Xbox emulator. But I don't know how to run the games in LB. When i launch a game with the Xemu frontedn, it is necessary to perform 2 step: 1) Machine --> Load disc 2) Machine --> Reset (or, if you are using the Evolution X dashboard, you can select LAUNCH DVD) So I added the emualtor and isos to LB, but when i run a game, the emualtor doesn't start, it closes immediately... Do you know if it is possible to use this emulator on LB? thanks!

thanks! Well, 1) I ran the cmd in this way: and at the end this pop up appeared: then i pushed SAVE SHORTCUT and it has created the file that I saved here: is it correct? If so, now, I have to configure LB not in this way anymore: but in this new way: Is this correct? thanks!

perfect, thanks! Done! Everything works as expected

ah ok! And during the Restore procedure, is it necessary to check the "enable autokey" option? And is it necessary also during the Backup process? By default it is unckecked. thanks!

hi, i still have a little question: I want to add a 3DO game to my collection. In order to add it and then use it on LB, which are the correct steps? I suppose: 1) Run _Phoenix_Rom_Launcher.exe and push RESTORE. Then answer YES to the pop up. In this way it will replace my previous configuration file. 2) then I have to add the new game to the emulator, as usual. 3) after that, I have to run again the _Phoenix_Rom_Launcher.exe file and push BACKUP button. And nothing else. is this correct?

perfect, many many thanks for your great job

thanks, I'm sorry yes I know how to configure LB in order to use a single emulator for multiple console. well, I have done these 3 steps: 1) deleted 3DO and Jaguar folders (they already had your old launcher version with the xml file that not considered the Colecovision games) 2) in the Colecovision folder I put your new launcher version and I created the new xml file: 3) I configured on LB the emulator in order to use the same Launcher for the 3 consoles (as you described above) 4) I tried Colecovision: perfect! Then I tried 3DO and Jaguar: there was missing the bios setup, so I have done again the bios set up for both consoles and now they work too! I think that it is not necessary to create again the xml file because i dind't add any game, I only added again the bios to 3DO and Jaguar configuration. Is that right? thank you!

well, it seems that if I run LB as Admin, it works! but now I have another proble,... well I currently have 3 different folder, one for every emulator: 3DO, Jaguar and colecovision. I created 3 different folder instead only one because I belived that in order to directly launch with LB a colecovosion or jaguar or 3DO game, i need 3 different folder. But it isn't true... in any case, now overwrite your new .exe file only in Colecovision and Jaguar folder, but now if I run the PhoenixEmuProject.exe file, i see only one game (the latest game loaded with that console), in this way. If I run the PhoenixEmuProject.exe in the Jaguar folder, I see this: if i run the exe from the 3DO folder I see this: and from the exe in Colecovision folder, I see this: so, now, i would like to have ONLY ONE folder, and then run LB with the same .exe emulator for all the 3 consoles. What do you suggest? I have created in the Colecovision folder the backup file with your new .exe file, so I think that the Colecovision folder it the better one and it is better for me to keep this folder and delete the Jaguar and 3DO folders. But how I can be sure that all the games loaded in the emulator for the 3 consoles are correctly loaded in the backup file created? Is it better to delete the _Phoenix_Rom_Launcher.xml? How can I run again the emulator .exe file in order to see all the 3 emulators with thei 3 games list? I'm confused thanks!

well, i tried, but when i launch a game with LB it appears this pop up: (Accesso Negato in italian means "denied access") if I use your previous version (with 3Do and jaguar) I don't have any issue. My Antivirus didn't detect any virus or problem. Microsoft Defender smartscreen detect it as a risk, but even if I have disabled Microsoft Defender, I am still blocked...it is not possible to run it with LB...:( thank you

yes, my backup file already includes every game, colecovision included. But with the previous version of your .exe it was not possible to automatically load the colecovision games. Good, i will overwrite the .exe file with the new version and i will keep you updated, thanks!

thanks, well, currently i have loaded in Phoenix all my jaguar, 3do and colecovision games and i'm using your "old" launcher version in order to directly load games for jaguar and 3DO in LB. And I don't need to add any new games in my 3 lists. I only need to use your new loaded version in ordert to load colecovision too in LB. Now, if I want to use the new version of your loader, I have to: 1) save my current phoenix.config.xml and the _phoenix_Rom_Launcher.xml files in another location 2) overwrite my current loader with you new version and keep a copy of my phoenix.config.xml in the emulator folder 3) run again the backup utility of your loader in order to create a new _phoenix_Rom_Launcher.xml version 4) Run LB and try the 3 consoles if it is able to load games for all the console is that correct? thanks!
