And that is your issue, there is no such game as "0002 - Need For Speed - Underground" in our database, so you get no match. You need to remove those proceeding numbers with a bulk renamer like Bulk Rename Utility

A quick google found this, it needs the commandline in this thread.

Is cause arcade games should never be unzipped, mame or fba needs the zip file, not the contents of it.

That is not possible as described currently in Launchbox. However something similar could be accomplished i believe via playlists after import. Maybe someone a bit more knowledgeable about playlists could chime in here as its not a feature i personally use myself.

Launchbox needs to be pointed at the .zip, not the .chd.

Interesting, well glad you figured it out.

This is true, but they just uncommented those to games in the mame code. It is my understanding that when @MadK9 does his no nag versions he is going to re-enable those games when he compiles his build.

I cant exactly help with this issue per se, but the way the startup/shutdown screen works is that there is a black screen during gameplay behind the emulator, when you exit the emu that black screen changes to the shutdown screen instead (at least that is my rudimentary understanding of the process). So if the black screen still shows then it sounds like Lanchbox is not aware that the emu has exited. You can go to tools/manage/emulators/project 64/startup tab and mess with the settings there, i dont use project 64 myself, so i cant specifically help with that emu.

Never upgrade the emulator if not upgrading your roms. A MAME romset is only ever guaranteed to work with the matching emulator version. Same romset, same emulator version will never break, using a different romset and emulator version WILL break things.

There are no No-Intro sets for CD/DVD systems.

Unfortunately a theme will never please 100% of people, it's just not possible, but that is why we do have theming as a feature, so someone could make a copy and edit the default theme more to there liking. As this is a new look to the game details, i don't expect it will be immediately changed, and there are no options for that sort of thing built into the UI, so editing the theme will be the only way currently.

Faeran, the creator of Neptune also made this new view i believe, so not a copy per se. Sounds like you prefer the other two themes though, so why switch at all?

Also its REAL picky with bios files, if it even loads a game.

No, the search in Windows can fix that, go to your Dreamcast rom folder, and in the explorer search bar put *.gdi then select all of those and drag and drop to launchbox.

Correct, Launchbox has no index of rom file types, or what file types a emulator needs, it will accept any file type you give it, so in cases like this, it would not now which file is the one the emulator actually needs. This is preferable to limiting file types for a arbitrary reason, and having to then maintain that list. Also Launchbox can be used to launch anything, not just games, so again, we accept any file types. Personally i converted my disc systems to CHD a long time ago, its one file per disc, and has very good compression, but also loads directly into a lot of emulators, no decompression needed.

Yes, but only import the .gdi files to Launchbox, you dont want all those extra files in it.

Redream does not support zips at all.

Its the running script you want, not the exit.

Could it be that you already added that platform, and then hid games missing specific media types, resulting in the whole platform hiding as you didn't actually download that media type, like game videos for example?

Yes, movies, music, and manuals have always been a part of the emumovies premium subscription.

Launchbox is the easiest to use Windows frontend out there. I i need to read the rest of this post, but its difficult and will taka a while, due to lack of punctuation, its seemingly a long rant about how you got old, but I'm willing to chew through it somewhat, it may just take a while, so if you would bare with me?

Make sure Launchbox is not unzipping your roms before launch. Also @Lordmonkus not that i think it matters this time, but Android again fella.
