I don't think I have ever bothered with adding the qsound.zip and all my CPS2 games run just fine in RetroArch FBA. Is it really needed?

Ok, I might try that. It's working fine anyway, just maybe a little bit slower in LaunchBox when switching between platforms. BigBox is fast though. I'm only really using the Launchbox side of things while I'm adding systems and scraping data, it'll be all BigBox once it's all set up.

I have Windows on my SSD and LaunchBox all set up on my 2TB HDD. Would it be faster to have it installed on the SSD, and if so, is there anything I can do about that now that everything is set up on the HDD?

I have a similar level of experience and just started setting up LaunchBox and Big Box last week, it has been a pretty seamless experience so far for me. If I can help in any way with any of the questions you may have, I'll try my best to help out

I noticed the same issue since 6.9. I have to spam the Esc key on my keyboard to exit.

I paid for lifetime on both last week and received no discount either.

Is there a reason why you are are not using the RetroArch Mednafen PCE-Fast core for your PC Engine CD games? No need for virtual drives with that.

Here's the Turbografx 16 boxart full set: http://www.mediafire.com/?dcp8uxx0017x7dd

Cool, I have a complete set of front boxarts for the system on my Raspberry Pi 3 that I got on the RetroArch forums I think. I will dig them out and upload them to help you out.

Glad I was able to contribute in some way. What needs to be done to carry out the work needed? If I can help in any way please let me know.

Wow, that's really nice. Well done on all your hard work on that!

@Eirulan I think there was a thread about cheat support in Genesis Plus GX and SNES cores over on the RetroArch forums this very week. Hopefully something is being done to get all of these working soon. Here is a link to the forum thread: http://libretro.com/forums/showthread.php?t=6916

Hi guys, I was having a look online for some PC Engine CD clear logos that I couldn't scrape and found these. Might be useful to someone or could perhaps be added to the LaunchBox Games DB. http://web.coolrom.com/sites/default/files/logos/nec-pc-engine-cd/ And more systems here: http://web.coolrom.com/sites/default/files/logos/

Tried doing that but it just made RetroArch boot extra fuzzy and still in a window behind Launchbox/Big Box I'll download MAME standalone after work this evening and see if that solves the issue.

Thanks @Jason Carr, where are these settings located please?

Ok thanks lordmonkus. I'll download the latest MAME and see if I have better luck. At least I could yse that if I can't fix the MAME RA core focus issue.

Will I need the 0.161 version of standalone MAME or just the latest version?

Ah ok, I guess I'll stick with the MAME (2014) core in that case if the latest one is broken. Your suggestion does work for the blurry graphics though, but no shaders like you said. I still haven't figured out the issue with it launching in the background but I had enough to keep me busy with getting some missing videos from Emumovies FTP server and doing a tidy up. I bet we all spend more time configuring than playing!

Ok, thanks for all your help anyway. I'll wait and see if Jason or others may have a solution. In the meantime, I am going to ask the guys over at Emumovies about that issue with the videos, I don't think the ones it grabbed for my other systems are HQ either and I have spent the weekend setting up all my systems. I hope there is a way to replace with HQ versions without starting everything from scratch if these are standard quality. If I had to set it all up again I think I would go insane! lol EDIT: I changed the emulator for the arcade platform to the latest MAME RetroArch core to see if it made any difference but it still launches behind Big Box, with it's horrible blurry graphics

Would it be some sort of conflict with hiding the nag screens and warning screens maybe? I have those hidden. I'll turn them back on and try again.

I just checked there and windowed fullscreen was set to on, I changed it and tested again and the issue persists.

I'll check that setting now. I am using RA MAME over standalone as I prefer the ease of use of RA for controllers and shaders and as I am used to it I guess. If I continue to have issues with it I could change to MAME stand alone though. I'll check that setting now and get back to you.

Thanks for replying so fast. The reason I was using the 159 version is because when I loaded a rom with the latest MAME core the graphics were blurry, especially noticeable on text and nag screens for example. I had used stock RA settings and no filters, so I had no idea why it was doing that. Tried some settings to no avail and when I saw 159 version worked without issue I went with that core. My MAME RA core is set to launch full screen, yes.

Hi guys, so I have a full MAME 0.161 set and followed Brad's tutorial on setting it up in LaunchBox. I tested the roms with the MAME (2014) core in Retroarch and every game I tried seemed to work. I imported all the roms and LaunchBox began scraping all the metadata from Emumovies as I am a lifetime member over there. I left it run overnight as there are about 25,000 roms in the set. This morning I saw that the import completed with an error saying that "Emumovies failed to parse HQ video" or words to that effect. It seems there is a platform video but none for any games and many of the clear logos are missing. Finally, when I click on a game in Big Box, RetroArch starts the game but focus remains on Big Box with the game playing in the background RA window. I have to exit Big Box in order to see the game. Can anyone help me with these issues please?

Streets of Rage Remake uses the original resolution of the Mega Drive games, so no, it's not HD.
