You have two of the same threads, i have deleted the other one.
As i said, Launchbox NEVER just removes games from your library, did you look at what i said above?
Launchbox never just deletes games unless you yourself tell it to. It could be that you have one of the "Hide games missing.......media" boxes checked under the view dropdown.
Are you running Launchbox as administrator? That message clearly says that it needs elevation, so Windows itself is blocking the launch, we never advise running Launchbox as a admin, if that is in fact what you are doing.
Does LEDBlinky auto load at boot, or is it only loaded when you load a game? Just wondering if on first load after a boot that the program has to load up, but then stays running as a process in the background until a reboot.
Ok, well i have MAME running just fine here on the latest 9.10 beta 2(the most recent beta build), when i choose a game the game immediately loads, as it should. The only difference is that i do not and have never used LEDBlinky, so maybe the issue lays there on your system.
Have you tried disabling LEDBlinky and seeing if your issue persists when its just Launchbox>MAME?
You can't i'm afraid, its all platforms or none.The only way to do it for a single platform is to highlight all the games you want to hide, right click/Edit and use the bulk edit wizard to hide the selected games.
If they were working previously then changing the license will have absolutely zero effect on them. Unfortunately though that is what you get from illegal drive sellers, and we cant really troubleshoot here as we have absolutely no way of knowing how anything was setup and what other programs/scripts/batch files are used.
Unfortunately this means you were using a pirated license. We do not offer any support here for paid fully loaded hard drives im afraid. You will need to contact the illegal seller of the hard drive.
The bi-linear filter is awful and one of the first options i turn off, it just makes everything look blurry.
I am using a crt shader with interger scaling on, and it looks and sounds great.
If its a fullset and you are using the fullset importer then just run the wizard again and choose world. Uncheck all the media downloads as you already have them.
Retroarch will use whatever windows is set to use by default, you dont need to set it in the UI, it will just work. If it doesnt then you have other issues on your PC.
Shaders can be changed just fine during a game, in fact that IS how you change them, load a game choose a shader, save core override so the shader only works for that core.
If you are having slowdown then your laptop probably is not powerful enough to run those cores.
Also you do know that snes9x has a retroarch core right? and it works great.
The audio in Retroarch is great, and of course it supports high definition audio, i am using my GTX 1060 6GB to provide audio to my 5.1 AVR Reciever. Also it has much better audio latency that you can adjust to match the power of your system to reduce the latency, which is what i believe @Lordmonkus was referring to.
Well as you said yourself, it sounds like the drivers to me. Those are unofficial drivers also so are bound to have issues for some people. I don't believe there is much we can do i'm afraid.
