What Is the Most Accurate CRT TV Shader and Accurate Aspect Ratio?
neil9000 replied to ChristopherNeff's topic in Emulation
Ha ha, you clearly dont have much experience using them both. The retroarch core has the standard mame UI in it, and then the retroarch UI overlayed on top of that, so you have two different UI fighting with each other for what UI is in charge, this mostly manifests in controller issues with mame trying to use its settings, and retroarch trying to use its settings. Wow, i have not heard such rubbish in a long long time, that is simply a completely incorrect statement, i suggest you do more research, as this statement as well as your "i want the most accurate CRT shader" question tells me you really do not know what you are talking about here. Not true either, yes they are mapped, but for "general" they are not mapped on a game basis, now you try remapping those as the "general" can be a awful setup for some games, and you will see the control issues i was referring too. As is standalone mame, put your roms in the mame/roms folder, and load a game from its UI, hardly tricky stuff. Simplified is not always better, in fact far from it, options are good, how you can say that a emulator that REMOVES features is better than one that doesn't, boggles my mind. -
What Is the Most Accurate CRT TV Shader and Accurate Aspect Ratio?

Retroarch bezels are not compatible with MAME bezels, most sane people use standalone MAME for arcade and not Retroarch because its less troublesome, especially controls wise. As for the bezels themselves id guess there are far more out there for mame itself than there is for mame in retroarch, you need to remember that mame has been around over 20 years, retroarch, not so much. -
I would ignore celerons to be honest, I see people online saying they can do up to gamecube, if you consider 15fps playable then i guess thats right. I personally as well as my main gaming rig i use for Bigbox and PC gaming have a Celeron j4125 mini PC with 6GB of RAM, it does all the 2D stuff no problems at all, but when you start to push 3D stuff, its much more troublesome. It can push Playstation 1 just fine at native res, and maybe a 2X increase to res in some games, but thats about it. N64 you will have to put up with native res, unless you use the less accurate parallel core. I should mention also this is using a OS called Batocera, so no Windows overhead either, dreamcast should be mostly fine, as will arcade stuff as long as its not 3D. If going with that sort of device you will need to temper expectations with and 3D system, and dont even think of something like PS2, or 3DS on it.

I concur with all of that. A mini PC will not usually have a dedicated GPU (unless you spend significally more money on it, and at that point you may as well go micro ATX for less money). 2D systems can not have there resolution changed, 3D systems can, but will need a dedicated GPU usually, as for framerate, that will be dictated by the original game, so mostly always 60, until you hit the 3D era and you will see a mixture of 30 and 60, but again if trying to up the resolution on those you really do need a dedicated GPU.

I think it is Y on the controller.

Was your license a yearly or forever one? Have you messed with the license file at all?
-
That is a settings issue, close Launchbox and go to the Launchbox/Data folder and delete the settings.xml, or alternatively, with Launchbox still closed unzip a backup from Launchbox/Backups and replace the settings.xml with the older one.
-
Do you have a paid subscription to emumovies and did you enter those login details into Launchbox?
-
Why do you have two old and non official romsets in the first place? All games in those two sets are in the normal mame romset, so you are already complicating matters somewhat. Just get the latest mame romset and matching emulator version or retroarch core and save yourself the hassle of managing two old, and unofficial romsets. As for your actual question, i think the only way to do that from where you currently are is with a playlist, so you would still have the original platforms as well. The only other way is to delete and re-import both sets to the same platform, but specifying different emulators in the import wizard. Seriously though, just get the latest mame romset and save yourself some headaches.

Im gonna guess you installed into a Launchbox folder inside of your Launchbox folder rather than over the top. If the path was D:Launchbox, you would install to D:.

They contain thousands and thousands of roms, you really think the person who put that together got the permissions of every game publisher in the world to sell their product, for virtually nothing, especially from the likes of lawyer and sue heavy Nintendo who shutdown websites allowing free downloads of roms, let alone people selling them for profit. This really is no different than you buying a hard drive full up with all the Hollywood movies from 2021, or every album released last year, it's simply copyright theft, in fact it is worse for the seller as they are making money from other peoples copyrighted materials, highly, highly illegal, and we, as a legitimate business want nothing to do with those shady practices i'm afraid.
-
I'm sorry but we do not provide any support for illegally sold hard drives with pirated Launchbox licenses on them, You will have to talk to the person who sold you your illegal product.

You need to switch the view, if you were not using a wall view on your previous theme, then you wont be on one now either. Either change it in the options, or set a button to "change view" and switch it on the fly.

I concur, while great as a integrated solution, even a £100 GT1030 would out perform that. I have a somewhat similar setup to you, Ryzen 7 3700X, 32GB of 3000Mhz RAM, OS on a Samsung 970 NVME SSD, however i also have a RTX 2080 Super dedicated GPU. Check that your windows refresh is set to 60Hz and not say 30Hz or something, i have seen that be the problem a lot.

Duckstation in Retroarch works great, did you mess with settings or run it stock, also what are your PC specs, maybe you tried pushing it too far? Personally i use the Duckstation core and un it at 8X resolution scaling, and its great.

I havent updated my epic in a few weeks, so none of those free games are added yet, so running the importer and they all show up fine for me including the three Tomb Raiders, so not sure what is up with it on your end.

Super Gameboy should be listed as a platform
neil9000 replied to darreldearth's topic in Contributions
Its not a platform though, its a addon for one platform to allow you to play another platform, both of which are in our database, but in reality, this is simply Gameboy and nothing more than that, If people cared that much there must be image packs out there for these, which could be easily added to Launchbox. At the end of the day though Super Gameboy is simply Gameboy, just being run on other hardware, it's really no different to running Gamecube games on a Wii, and i dont see people requesting a "Nintendo Gamecube on Nintendo Wii" platform. -
If i had to guess, you have your Retroarch entry in Launchbox set to unzip roms before loading, that will break Neo Geo as all arcade systems need the zips to stay that way and not be unzipped.
-
Pretty sure there are options in the settings to prefer audio over the audio from a video, or something like that, yeah just looked and there is.
-
Its the same setting, all media has paths set in Launchbox, that carry over to Bigbox, like images, videos etc, music is no different. Unless a bug has crept in somewhere, but i dont use any music in my setup so cant test that.
-
Media must match the file name, or the name of the game in Launchbox, either will work, but if it doesn't match either, then yeah it wont be able to be matched to the game for obvious regions.

Problem launching arcade games using Retroarch's FBNeo core
neil9000 replied to drorin's topic in Troubleshooting
FBA doesnt use a MAME romset, it uses it's own FBA romset, so you may well run into a ton of games that do not work cause they are not designed for FBA. -
Thats not available in the Android version though, which is where this post is, you just get the option to import a folder on Android, and all files in that folder are pulled in.
-
Yes, the PC and Android versions are separate and require separate licenses if you want to add more than 100 games to your library. LaunchBox for Android - Purchase a License (launchbox-app.com)

neil9000 replied to drorin's topic in Troubleshooting
That's a error cause your romset doesn't match the version the core is expecting, that game obviously had a file change at some point and that file isn't in your different version romset.
