Yep, its also really easy through the general interface these days also, at least for paths and such.

Your MAME folder should look like this, If double clicking "MAME64.EXE" is not opening MAME then something is not right.

MAME is different to most emulators as it needs to know where your roms are even when launching through Launchbox as it also needs to load bios files for the specific game you are loading, and those bios files should be in the same folder as your games. If MAME doesn't know where your games are it wont load them, even if you are launching them from Launchbox.

You need to tell MAME where your games are, by default it looks in MAME/Roms, but as your MAME was still zipped I'm guessing your games aren't there. You need to either launch MAME and set it in the UI or open the MAME ini and set it there.

Speaking of Banjo, I was just checking achievements for that @Jason Carr and they seem to be overlapping somewhat (see pic) I dragged the details view wider and that fixed it up, but should that not resize like everything else does in that sidebar?

Are you talking specifically about the Capcom Classics, Capcom Play System etc? If so those are not platforms they are playlists and they can be removed while still leaving the "Arcade" platform or whatever you called it. You can right click those playlists in the left sidebar and delete them one by one, but the quickest way is to close Launchbox and navigate to Launchbox/Data/Playlists and delete the .xml files from there, when you reopen Launchbox those playlists will be gone. There was actually a checkbox when you imported your Arcade games that you should of unchecked when you imported your arcade games, its called "create arcade playlists" or similar and is on the last page of the arcade import wizard and is checked on by default. Hope that helps you.

For closing the emulator copy and paste this into the AHK tab in the manage emulator screen. ; This section closes Supermodel when pressing Escape $Esc:: { Process, Close, {{{StartupEXE}}} } As for the res you should have a , between the height and width not a x.

Ha ha, those pesky "l's". Certainly not the first time I have seen that, glad its now working for you now, and good call @Retro808.

Yeah as far as I understand it a backup is created when you change something in your setup, be it game or emulator related. This issue is the exact reason that backups are kept in the first place. If you don't have any backups with your Retroarch emulator in them then you have been doing a lot of editing since your Emulator disappeared without actually testing your edits to make sure everything still works correctly, which is always advised if you are changing settings and such.

Did you unzip your MAME emulator? I think you are pointing to a zipped emulator.

Also go to manage emulators/MAME and make sure you do not have them set to unzip there, just uncheck the box. Edit. Sorry missed that part of your post.

Try looking at your windows sound settings also.

Good to see you found the issue. To save it at that frequency load retroarch by itself with no game or core loaded, change the sound to what you want then go back to the main menu and down to configurations and choose save current configuration.

There is no reason to re-install Launchbox, Launchbox has no effect on the emulator other than loading it so in-installing would be a waste of time. Are you loading a specific config for Retroarch through Launchbox?

Yeah I believe Launchbox uses a API and pulls from the FTP, so if there is nothing there it won't be downloaded in Launchbox.

You are correct in that assumption, Launchbox can not be themed, what you see is what you get there. Bigbox is of course themeable so I assume that it is possible there but someone would have to create the theme with the layout that you require.

No probs, and as I said the official release is due soon as well.

This maybe a codec issue that has been fixed in the latest betas. Do you have videos for your steam games? If they are .webm which they will be if they were downloaded from steam that is most likely the issue. You could check my copying that video folder out of the video folder temporarily and see if it still crashes. If that is the issue you could update to the current beta or wait as the official 7.15 should be available in the next few days.

The only time it doesn't allow me to drag and drop is when it is run as administrator. I just checked on my system and when its NOT checked to run as administrator it works just fine, but when I set it to run as administrator I am not allowed to drag and drop.

Here is a list of the supported cores in Retroarch.

You can either use there special emu's from there site or you can use retroarch. Many of the cores in Retroarch already support achievements all though not all. It's also a global thing in Retroarch so you enter your details once and it will apply to all cores that support achievements.

If these are just windows games then all you need to do is import the .exe or the shortcut for the game, preferably into a platform called windows. I suggest dragging a .exe or shortcut onto launchbox and when the wizard pops up select the "none of the above" option this will import the game without associating a emulator with it, so it will just launch the game. You may run into issues running games that old on Windows 10, some of them may just simply not work on that OS. Google is always your friend in that regard to see if a game even works on Windows 10 in the first place.

You will want the bluebox version then. Its in the list when clicking the download button on the theme page.

Check your Launchbox/Updates folder and reinstall the newest version directly over the top of your current install.
