Special T

Thank you @JoeViking245 I appreciate your help! I was unsure how to get the roms to boot into AES mode. After doing some research, here's what I did, I don't know if these are the correct steps but it's kind of working for me now. If some of these steps are unnecessary so others don't need to complete them please let me know. I followed the steps you outlined above I opened the mame.ini file and replaced "rompath roms" with "rompath E:\Games_Backup\Arcade\MAME\MAME ROMs (merged);roms" I copied the aes.zip and neogeo.zip files into the following folder "C:\_LaunchBox\_Emulators\MAME 0.289\roms\" NOTE: both of those zip files are still in my mame directory as well so I just made a copy of them and placed it in my mame/roms folder I made a copy of my MAME emulator in LaunchBox and added the following command line parameters "aes %romfile% -bios usa" After doing all that, the games load in AES mode but I get an error message (see screenshot) Any idea what I did wrong or how to fix it?

Hello, I have the full MAME 0.289 ROM & CHD set that I imported into LaunchBox. All the CHD are in the correct folders in the same directory as the roms. LaunchBox created a playlist of SNK NEO GEO MVS and those games work fine without any issues. Is there a way I can use those same roms without having to duplicate them to make a new "SNK Neo Geo AES" platform that I can be displayed in the consoles section? I would like them to launch the AES version instead of MVS but I'm not sure how to accomplish this. I assume I would need to duplicate the MAME emulator and enter a special command line parameter I'm just not sure what it would be. Also, if possible, I'd prefer not to have to pick through the thousands of files to find the Neo Geo specific ones to import. I assume there is some easy way of doing this that I'm not aware of. I want to automate it as much as possible so when I update my sets I don't have to redo everything.

I'm still having issues with this. Does anyone know if LaunchBox has certain rules where it will ignore games or folders based on certain conditions? Also, some more background about how I set this system up. All my games were split up like how I mentioned in my previous post. When I imported the system for the first time, I was using the base "Sega CD" folder so all the games in all the sub folders got added at the same time. I then created playlists based on the folder names. I've used this same import process and folder structure for my other platforms although they're all cartridge based and it detects new games when I added them after I run a scan but it's not working correctly with the Sega CD games for some reason. Is it because they are in CHD format or is there some other issue? If I need to post more information, I'd be happy to do that. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you

Hello I have hopefully an easy question regarding how to detect newly added roms without having to manually add them into LaunchBox one by one. Here's an example of one of my systems Sega CD/_Hacks Sega CD/_T-En Sega CD/Aftermarket Sega CD/Other Regions Sega CD/Prototypes Sega CD/USA I tried adding a few new CHD files into each of the folders then clicked on Tools -> Scan -> Added roms in any platform... however it only detected one new roms. Is there something else I need to do in order for LaunchBox to see the other roms I added? Thank you

I don't recall at what point I switched over but I'm using Genesis Plus GX wide and here are some screenshots from my retroarch settings with Dracula up and running

Not sure if it will help but here are screenshots from my setup

That's the same set up I have and mine works fine however my discs are labeled differently so, my m3u file looks like this Dracula Unleashed (USA) (Disc 1).chd Dracula Unleashed (USA) (Disc 2).chd RetroArch v 1.21.0 loads the first disc (chd) as it normally would and I can change it to the second disc in the menu by pressing F1 and changing the disc to 2.

Thank you @JoeViking245, I updated to the latest version of Ares (145) fixed the running script and also used the shortcut trick and it worked great. I appreciate your help!

Thanks for the update. Regarding the Audit window, is there a way to always make the Title column visible when scrolling left/right similar to how Excel has the "Freeze Panes" functionality?

I have a setup similar to C-Beats but mine includes sub platform for all the add on consoles or unique things available in emulators like NES HD games or SNES widescreen games. - Platform Category (Console, Handheld, etc) - Platform Manufacturer (Sony, Nintendo, etc) - Platform (Genesis, SNES, NES, etc) - Sub Platform (Sega CD, 32x, FDS, N64DD, NES HD, etc) I also like to manually add fan translations and some hacked games to my collection but I merge them with the original game and add all the credits, version number, patch release date, etc. to custom fields. it's very time consuming but I like the end result.

Sal / RetroPython, just wanted to say thanks for creating the content you do. I usually like tutorial videos that are short and to the point but I like to listen to your videos while I'm driving or have some time to relax. It's fun to learn about some of the history behind the fun consoles we used to play growing up. Thanks!

Some of these have already been mentioned but here are my thoughts on what takes a remaster or collection to the next level. - Overworld hub like Sonic Jam - Extra story elements or events but only if they make sense and add to the overall experience - Updated graphics that stay true to the original i.e. if a game was in 2D make it HD2D instead of 3D - Add special options or cheats e.g. an easy mode, double xp for RPG's, faster walking, etc. - Graphics toggle like Halo MMC - Music toggle for games where the sound track was unique based on the region like Sonic CD - Unreleased or Beta stuff like including Star Fox 2 on the SNES classic

I think a good example of what I'm looking for would be liked Halo: The Master Chief Collection. It felt like the original game to me with better graphics and I really liked the ability to switch from old to new graphics so I can see what changes they made.
