    Video Snips for PC Games

    in Game Media

    Posted

    Hi All,

    Ive just started adding a few PC Games to launchbox, it obviously finds all the Artwork from the Launchbox database, but no video gameplay snips from EmuMovies, I guess for obvious reasons, its not emulation.

    Does anyone know where to get video snips for PC Games?

    Thanks

    Mame Tutorial for n00bs

    The mame.ini thing is typically an issue with offshoots of mame like MameUI and Arcade64. Since command line mame generates the ini where is it supposed to be you should not have to do the ini thing mentioned. That being said since you seem to be using command line mame you likely have something disconnected in your Launchbox set-up. 

    Go to tools>Edit Emulators and click on the Mame emulator you set up and edit it. Make sure it is pointing to the correct .exe file, make sure you do not have any of the check boxes in the middle of the screen on the first tab checked and then go to Associated Platforms and make sure you have the name of the Arcade platform you imported your roms into listed there and the name matches how you have it named in Launchbox. 

    Settings as below..Capture.thumb.JPG.7b7435957db4d2600ea0f4c9edddc1d3.JPGCapture2.thumb.JPG.9a73737d8619ac677332a5796a9e268e.JPG

    Is your platform name correct and matching the platform name in the Associated Platforms window of your Mame emulator in LB ?

    Yes

    When you imported your roms did you use the new or old method of importing Mame roms ?

    New Method of import Mame Full romset

    Did you tell LB to move, copy or leave roms where they were ? They should be left where they were.

    Left where they were (LB on C:, Games on Z:)

    Now this is all you need to do to have your mame setup and will run as long as your roms and your rom paths have no mistakes. You can do a quick test if you still have your command prompt window open by typing in:
    mame64.exe sf2

    If your paths and roms are correct this will load up Street Fighter 2: World Warrior.

    FYI i followed this test, and it launches fine.....

    Make sure your mame.ini file is located in the main folder where your main mame64.exe is located, the default location of it seems to be put in the \ini folder if you don't generate the mame.ini file first like I describe in the guide.

    The ini file is in the main directory as per the OP. I generated the ini file via the cmd prompt using mame64.exe -cc.....

    The ini file had already generated when i launched Mame separately, before i found this thread, so i deleted them and followed the OP instructions....

    Thoughts?

    Hi Guys.

    Finally got round to setting up my Launchbox set up, and also finally attempted Mame! However, it won't launch Mame from within LB which I know has been an issue for a number of people.

    I'm currently using the latest Mame 0.201 and a Merged 0.201 rom set.

    I followed the opening post with regards to the .ini file, which was to run a cmd prompt and run mame64.exe -cc, which it indeed created in the .ini files in the mame folder.

    I've checked launching a Mame rom from Mame standalone, and it launches OK.

    What else can I check, as I'm sure I've done everything from the OP.

    Thanks

    Kodi Addon UAC Annoyance!

    in Troubleshooting

    Posted

    That is correct. I'm using Winaero Tweaker rather than task scheduler, which effectively does the same thing. It creates a shortcut of the .exe file and elevates the privilege

    I'm using the Bigbox Addon, which I assume is the same as I used last time, unless this is an addon developed by another dev?

    In the settings for the path to the Bigbox location, I can only select an executable file, therefore and elevated shortcut can't be used.

    What's the link to the official Launchbox/Bigbox Kodi Addon, and I'll double check what I've got..

    Kodi Addon UAC Annoyance!

    in Troubleshooting

    Posted

    Hi All,

     

    I had the LB and BB addon configured with Kodi a few months back, and I had to elevate the privileges on LB and BB using Winaero Tweaker, which creates a shortcut which I pointed the addon to as the location.

     

    I've installed a fresh install of Kodi (16.1), and installed the addon again. However, when configuring the settings and entering the location of BB in the addon, it only gives me the option to select an executable, ie. Bigbox.exe.

     

    This means each time I launch BB through Kodi, I get the UAC prompt to approve the application to open. I'm not going to reduce the UAC settings, as it's there as a security feature in windows.

     

    I've tried setting the application to always run as administrator, but that doesn't seem to work.

     

    is there a way to set the location of BB in the Addon settings, that allows you to select a file that isn't an executable? So using Winaero Tweaker, it creates a shortcut of BB, which is a .Ink file.

     

    Any help here would be appreciated, without disabling the UAC feature!.

     

    Thanks

    Operations requires elevation!

    in Troubleshooting

    Posted

    Hi Guys

    I've just configured PCSX2 and added it to LB.

    When I try and launch a game, I get the Operation requires elevation error message.

    I know this is to do with User Access Control, and I've already set PCSX2 to 'run as admin' under the properties, and I've even changed the UAC settings to not notify of any changes, yet I still get the error message.

    If I launch PCSX2 standalone, it opens straight away after changing the UAC settings to not notify.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks
