Sorry, I don't use LB's controller mapping so I can't be much help if it's interfering with hypseus. Only thing I can add is are you 100% sure you are using the exact same hypseus options and location when starting manually and starting through LB?
-
Did you set your joystick up in Hypseus first? (LB doesn't handle per emulator controller configuration) The link above to the BAT files also includes a joystick configuration program to help set up your controllers. (One time process)

Home Depot has more robust screw in anchors that have a wider thread that can be used even in a damaged hole. Although not as nice as completely hidden, I used furniture bolts that go entirely through and are rock solid. They still look nice and they have zero interface on using the trackball with their flat and smooth design. (no edges skin will catch)

There are several ways you can handle this: Import the second rom and name differently Edit the details of the ver1 and edit file location and point to ver2 Select both roms, right click and pick combine from the contextual menu. Now edit the details of the combined entry and set the version you want to have as default. (Double clicking starts that version, use contextual menu to start alternate version. I would suggest naming your roms with non-game title information within parentheses. eg game_rom (ver1).smc. When importing, LB will not use the (...) information in the display name and you can automatically have it combine roms with the same name.

World Series The Season arcade game...anyone configure controls??????
Headrush69 replied to Bigredno38's topic in Emulation
The only way I could get it playable was using XBOX 360 controllers and limiting the analog axis to only half the range. It's on my list to fine tune it, but it does work. (Just played an inning and even hit a home run!) -
Compile the AHK to an exe and than just add it as an additional application that runs before your main exe. Edit: I believe the compiler comes with the fill AHK installer.

I think you may be right but not 100% sure how this works. Have you tried adding your playlist names to the FE Systems list in LEDBlinkyConfig. I have tried to reproduce the issue on my set up, but the LEDBlinky debug log shows the correct information being sent to LEDBlinky even from playlists. (I haven't added anything to the FE Systems list. All my lists are self made, maybe it's related to auto populated lists only? I'll try to play around with it more and see if I can come up with anything to help. Edit: For a second I got the playlist name to show up in the Unknown games file, but further testing I can't reproduce it again. Will try more after work. I don't know if this option helps at all:

Have you tried tried Reshade Manager for Launchbox? It will make things easier than creating BAT files for each game. Also, I find creating AHK scripts instead of BAT files and compiling them to exe has less issues as well. (For simple app launching, AHK is quite easy as well) Hope that helps.

I'm not overly fluent in Gimp either but it's not hard to resize images. I believe there is a plugin for batching conversions that makes it very easy. I think it was called BIMP. (I don't have it on my new install so can't check name)
-
Just throw chdman.exe from your Mame directory into your folder of roms, make a convert.bat text file with the following:
-
You can always use one of the free image programs (Gimp, XnView, etc), and batch scale them to 16:10. Obviously native 16:10 is best. but especially for Bezel Project style bezels it is probably good enough. Attached is sample at 16:9 ratio and then that same image resample/resized to 16:10
-
Is your monitor 16:9 or 16:10 aspect ratio and what is your source of bezels? (Bezel Project?) Assuming that you are using MAME, hit the tilde key to bring up MAME options where you can stretch the image. That's a workaround, but it's a balance of all 3 things: monitor aspect ration, MAME video ratio, bezel source and quality.
-
You can read about it at it's homepage: ArcadeCabView at Emuline It's as simple as copying some files into your MAME directory and some simple changes to your mame.ini file to use the BGFX chain supplied.
-
Start Retroarch Load the core Go to Information Go to Core Information Select Option to lock that core It should stop it from being updated. I do agree with Lordmonkus though, the standalone MAME just is a better and more flexible option. I know people like the shaders from Retroarch, but you can add the BGFX chain from ArcadeCabView if you don't like HLSL in MAME,

Wiring Ultimarc Trackball for Mouse left Button
Headrush69 replied to johnnyskullhead's topic in Monkeys
Do you not have any unused pins left on your iPac? If you do, just wire the button to it and in the WiniPac software set that pin to Left Mouse Button. (I have my cabinets mouse buttons set to iPac pins 1B and 2B) -
I just checked the 1920 x 360 folder in the Pixelcade package, and it has over 47 000 total marquees including about 4000 for MAME.
-
BB can only o static images right now.
-
In this case squish the image. Although the dimensions are the same, that's almost a 20% lose of vertical pixels. Maybe test a few out in your favourite image editor. Take a marquee, reduce the resolution to 1920 x 280 but zoom in to keep the same physical screen size. That will give you a good idea what to expect and how they'll look.
-
That 280 is small. Of all the sources I've looked for marquees, never saw any that small. Usually 360, 390, and 720 are the ones I've seen.
-
Sorry. I had both an LED marquee and a LCD marquee. The images came with the software for the LCD software here: Pixelcade LCD Software I eventually decided to bypass the Pixelcade hardware and just transferred the marquee images from that package.
-
The pixelcade artwork was named differently than just the plain MAME naming format that LB sees automatically, but with some batch file name renaming, it was fairly easy to rename and dump in the marquee image folder of LB. I would start with the LB/Emumovies scraped images first and see how they work. (I liked the Pixelcade artwork because it was resized for my monitor already, so no wasted space. I already batch edit my other images to my screen size to save space)
-
Those aren't terrible prices for the size. Although I've bought electronics off both Allibaba and Aliexpress, I'd choose Amazon when possible, for the return policy. (I've had issues with both LCD and LED panels) Maybe someone with a large marquee LCD can chime in here, or check the LB database at the dimension of some of the marquee images, to see how well they'd scale to super wide or if you'd have to acquire them elsewhere. I know you can get the Pixelcade artwork pack for $20 and it includes super wide marquee images.

FYI: There's a new Atari Jaguar emulator out there
Headrush69 replied to bundangdon's topic in Emulation
WOW does this work great. Per game settings Per game controls Save states Overclocking ... Even though it's NOT an authentic Jaguar experience, being able to overclock the CPUs makes some of these games actually playable in an enjoyable way which they weren't on the real console. I'm using the standard Winclose that works fine: Edit: Amazingly generous of Rich the author to release this free to the public while dealing with his serious issues. Thanks Rich.
