That was simply renamed to mappings, and never did what you are asking here. You can use programs to launch programs with buttons easily enough, but i don't know of any that will start a program when powering a controller on, you would need to power it on, then press another button/button combo to start the program.

Did you use the Steam importer?

Dont add full folders when you dont want to add multiple file types, Launchbox is just importing what you told it too. Go to your roms folder put "*.cue" without the quotes in the explorer window search, select all the results and drag and drop them to the Launchbox window to start the import wizard.

That's not how Android game detection works. All apps on Android are tagged as Apps/Games etc although some don't bother so some games are just labelled Apps, and we don't add those to your list otherwise you would have tons of none games there. We are not using the same methods as emulated systems, as they obviously aren't.

Not everything gets detected, usually cause app devs have not marked their games as actual games, so we cant differentiate it from any other app.

MESEN has been the best and recommended go to NES emulator for some years now, i have used it for probably 3-4 years myself. Personally i use the Retroarch core though. All 2D systems had sprite limits, SNES Megadrive/Genesis included, its just how the hardware worked, and most emulators for those systems have options to turn off sprite limits.

Correct, Launchbox does not support software list roms, which is what all non arcade games are. You can try this Launchbox plugin below.

Right click your desktop and go to display settings/advanced display settings.

Sounds like your Windows defaulted to 30Hz when you connected to your TV to me. So games are running at half speed.

Does it say it cannot find the naomi/atomiswave bios, or specific files from within it? Just because you have two zip files called naomi and atomiswave doesn't mean that the actual files within that zip are correct, you could have very old and outdated zips for instance that no longer work with current emulators. Your best bet is to pull those bios files directly from a current MAME romset if you haven't already.

Click start and type run, then put "shell:startup" without the quotes and put the shortcut you made to Bigbox in there.

If i remember correctly it has to be a shortcut to Launchbx/Bigbox that is placed in the startup folder, not a copy of the actual exe file.

It does, but if the emulator is not loading it then the emulator is refusing what is passed to it, so the emulator log should show that, not a Launchbox one.

You can just turn off needing a password to login, you will still see the login screen briefly, but it will then auto login, i have all my PC's except for my laptop like that.

You do have some options to lock the installed core to the current version, and backup your current core in the UI, (although thats as easy as copying the core from the core folder elsewhere without the UI option).

That is correct, the leading article like "The" and "A" are ignored when sorting.

Coverflow is the Bigbox view that shows images, usually boxes in a side by side view where the images animate as you scroll through them. Fullscreen coverflow from the default theme. Coverflow with details view from the default theme. Not all themes, but most do have a coverflow view, but if you dont use that view then none of the advice you have seen is relevant.

Dont download single MAME roms like that from anywhere, you do not know what version they are, likely they are very old though, so wont work with the current new MAME/FBNeo cores (and FBNeo is a different romset entirely). Get the current full MAME romset and get the current matching version of the MAME emulator and you will have zero issues with games working, i highly advise against using Retroarch for MAME, as it has issues that the standalone MAME emulator does not have.

Every version has new games, now they may not be games that you care about, so only you can decide if its worth updating, but yes new games are added every month when a new version is released.

Top of the page, Help & Support/Request A Feature.

Yes it is, but surprisingly few people actually use betas cause they don't want any issues with there setups, its not until a wide release that issues can come to light a lot of the time as a collection of maybe a few hundred users, of which maybe only a dozen or so regulars actually post issues to the beta thread on a regular basis is very different to tens of thousands of users banging at a release in unison. Also it is worth noting that yours is the only report of these two issues that I have seen, so the issue could be isolated to your machine and not a bug in Launchbox at all, that's why errors and log files are helpful. It could also be related to a third party theme, or plugin, which again would not be a issue with Launchbox itself, but it would still be Launchbox showing the error message. As for that not responding window for MAME, how long did you wait before deciding that Launchbox has crashed? Cause at that point in the process we are getting the working games list from your MAME.exe, and this can take some time even on the best CPU you can get, 30 seconds to a minute wouldn't be to far out of the question for even a decently high specced system. Also a tip for images, you can just drag and drop, or paste into your reply, there is no need for a third party image hosting site.

Actually what he error says is that it has already been sent, you only need to sign in if you want to provide more details, which you should do if you actually want issues fixed obviously, cause if you aint prepared to help, how do you think it will be fixed? You could also screenshot, or copy/paste errors here on the forums.

Maybe a little, you are right. It is however not the first complaint from that user.

I'd stop your trolling now if i was you.

Copy your arcade.xml out now, and if you dont like the results or lose shit, put it back after and overight the one with the expanded games in it.
