Yeah, thats why we have a value for alternate names in the database, exactly for times like this when there are two games with the same name on the same platform, and the alternate name on the database page is, Biohazard :RE 2
OK, i just checked and i was getting the same. How i got around it was by putting in the Japanese name, so,
Biohazard RE:2
When i did that it found it and automatically renamed it to Resident Evil 2.
If you have the 0.202 MAME romset then use 0.202 of the MAME emulator. Also depending on the romset type you have you may be missing the bios files, the non-merged romset contains all the bios files inside each game zip, the other two merged and split may not have those bios files in the romset at all.
I can confirm that all the 1940 series do indeed work providing your romset is good, are using the correct version of the emulator and you have the bios files.
Drag the shortcut onto the Launchbox window to start the import wizard, choose the "none of the above" option so that it is not associated with a emulator and name the platform the shortcut is to go into.
Thats why we never like people buying pre configured drives, if something goes wrong you have no knowledge or experience to fix it. The reason changing the emulator from rocketlauncher to snes9x is not working is because you need to bulk edit the actual roms in that platform to use the new emulator. At this point though with you not understanding how it is put together and what does what i think your best bet would to be to start from scratch. We have excellent tutorials on our youtube channel.
Depending on the romset you have it may or may not include the bios files. You say you have a 0.205 romset, are you using the 0.205 version of the MAME emulator? and what romset type do you have, Non-Merged, Merged or a split romset.
Chd's should not be zipped, they should just be in there own folder with the CHD inside. You just need to unzip them and they should automatically go into the folder with the correct name.
Yeah, Launchbox doesnt touch the Retroarch config files ever. All it does is pass the rom you have selected to Retroarch via commandline, it's not even aware of the config files or how to alter them even if it wanted to. So something got changed somewhere along the line, but not by Launchbox/Bigbox i'm afraid.
Also it was great to hear a English accent in the video, i feel that a lot of the time it seems like everyone here is in the US or the South American country's for the most part, so it was nice to hear a fellow countryman is doing this great work.
Yeah i started to watch it quite late last night,ill get back to finish it today, looking great though. And same, if you need any beta testers ill be happy to mess around with it.
You need to use the aspect ratio slider to make the boxes wider than they are tall. Yo have the slider very low at the moment so images are much taller than wide, that is why you are seeing the large gap, that whole space is reserved for a tall image where you are using a wide one.
I have that slider set to 1.0, and it looks like this.
Ah OK then, yeah that makes perfect sense, (i should of really have thought about that myself). I am using Unified Refried with the different themes per platform. Thanks for the info as always Jason.
Speaking of which, did your attract mode exit and enter platforms? I noticed again last night something that i have mentioned before, my attract mode enters a platform and stays there permanently, and yes i do have the option on for going in and out of platforms.
What is the batch file actually for? Normal windows.exe's can just be added to Launchbox. You just drag the shortcut onto the Launchbox window and choose the "none of the above" option and that will launch the game from launchbox just like it would on the desktop.
