Yep, I concur in your MAME folder in your first shot you have a MAME0192b_32bit.exe I think you are pointing Launchbox to that when you should actually be pointing it to your mame.exe which is above your zipped file in your image.

You can use rocketlauncher if you want, you just need to check the bottom option in this shot of the import wizard to force a MAME import with emulators other than MAME.

Yeah I'm with ya there, I have know idea how to code themes either. Just thought it was interesting that consensus was to ditch the fanart backgrounds. I am under the impression that they are simply called by the theme, so as long as the user has fanart in the respective folder the theme would just call it, and fall back to something else if there isn't anything in said folder. As I said though I'm not a coder so am probably way off the ball there.

Wow, all critics but no offer to help the man??

The majority of games will import just fine.. If you have a specific game just add it manually.

Cool, glad it helped you.

Yep me too.

Nope, unfortunately. The MAME file in Launchbox is older than your file.

Agreed,

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.
