It was probably VC redistribution packages or Direct X related stuff. If you go to your Launchbox/Updates folder you will find the installers, just install directly over the top of your current install and this time allow the install.

I don't think PEGI ratings are supported period, and you would need someone to create those logos for them to show up in themes in the first place, if they were even supported to start with.

Try right clicking the platform in the left sidebar and choosing edit, then in the scrape as dropdown change it to "NEC TurboGrafx-16"

This is exactly what it does, if you have no rom options in the right click menu then you only have one rom for that game.

Yep, I have specifically done the very same thing with demul myself before for loading Windows CE games.

I don't think its possible to specify things like that via command line. What you could do is just have a second copy of the emulator named slightly differently in launchbox, and point that specific game at that one pre configured with the correct settings.

Correct, if games have been combined they will be in the right click menu. You can also right click and edit then specify which one is loaded by default when double clicking.

If it now works you probably miss spelled something, glad its now working though.

So the line should be -L "cores\bsnes_accuracy_libretro.dll" Try copy pasting that, also the name in the associated platform tab must match exactly what the platfom is called in the left bar in launchbox.

Does the game start when you load it in just Retroarch?

Well the non-merged makes more sense when thinking purely about simplicity as the zips have everything you need. However I honestly have no idea how many people actually use those Vs the smaller sets. I would imagine a lot of people simply choose the smaller sets when downloading, but I have absolutely zero data to back that assumption up.

Also my romset is 0.194 and my CHD set is I think 0.184, so if you do decide to add one or two that require CHD's i'm happy to test.

You should be able to highlight all the games you want by holding ctrl and clicking on the games to be included.

I would add Cosmic Cop to the shooters horizontal, its part of the R-Type series. https://gamesdb.launchbox-app.com/games/details/33836 Also I didn't see NARC in there, technically a horizontal shooter?? Fighting VS: I would add Soul Edge, I think Soul Calibur needs a CHD but I'm not 100% on that, if it doesn't I'd add that also. Puzzle: Super Puzzle Fighter 2 Turbo. If I think of any others Ill come back.

Yeah agreed, that has a similar setup to @eatkinola nostalgia theme, but with a very different look. if you are done with it, maybe share the results of that labour?

Are you running Launchbox/Bigbox as administrator?

Games in MAME are marked as working or non working on every version release. Yes games break, that's why you always need to match your version of the romset with that version of the emulator. Its been this way forever, if you are not updating your romset, don't update the emulator either.

I believe its right trigger by default.

OK, I just downloaded MAMEUI to test. I opened it and went to options in the top bar and selected directories. Then left it on Roms and clicked browse, I navigated to where my roms are then hit OK. MAMEUI then starts scanning by default, you can see the progress in the bottom left bar. Then I double clicked on the game "1941" and it loaded right up. That's all that is needed in order to get MAME working, no command lines needed. This is the same also in the default MAME just that the UI looks different.

Can you put your roms and chd's in the MAME/Roms folder and open MAMEUI and double click the 1941 game, does it load?

Lol, that's how it is, we all tend to get wrapped up in it once we dip our toes.

We have a tutorial video on our youtube channel for setting up mame with launchbox.

The vast majority of the commands in that link you will never need. all you will need to do is set your paths, and if you are putting roms and such inside your mame folder you may not even need to do that as mame looks inside its own folder by default, so it will by default look in the Roms folder for the roms. you can of course put your roms anywhere on your system, and that is when you would have to tell mame where they are. In that image I posted you will see the second option is "configure directories" you just go in there, pick something from the list, lets say roms, you then just navigate to where your roms are then once in the rom folder hit tab on the keyboard to set that as the directory. As for your original question as to the software lists, Extras, and Multimedia, I have never used any of those so I'm not 100% sure where they go, but as I say above you should be able to put them anywhere as long as you tell mame where to look for them. Hope that helps in some way, any further questions fire away.
