Hi there,
The way to make CIFs/SMB/NAS access work natively to an android phone is by using two third party apps:
Server side
LAN drive - SAMBA Server & Cli
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=fr.webrox.landrive&hl=en&gl=US&pli=1
This app is straight forward; you can set the internal directories and/or external storage to usernames/passwords to what the usernames are allowed to access remotely
or
Servers Ultimate
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.icecoldapps.serversultimate&hl=en&gl=US
Same as LAN Drive, more complex/flexible but you cannot set external storage
Client side
CIFS Documents Provider
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wa2c.android.cifsdocumentsprovider&hl=en&gl=US
Simple interface and configuration and most importantly is 100% native to the android OS and file system so you can use most emulators (still trying to work out retroarch) to access any remote file via the emulator
or
RCX - Rclone for Android
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=io.github.x0b.rcx&hl=en&gl=US
Same as CIFS DP, with more features
Having any of the above two combinations of server and client setup works however, Launchbox android doesn't give the ability to natively/flexibly select any directory (by way of the android OS file system browser), once that feature been added in for mobiles/tabletsa user will be able to use remote files to load into the emulators (via Launchbox android).
With the above setup I can confirm the following emulators work with SMB/NAS setups:
AetherSX2
Duckstation
Dolphin / Dolphion MMJR1 and MMJR2
PPSSPP

Hi @Jason Carr,
I found information on the issue at hand:
What we know
Class Name
paulscode.android.mupen64plusae.AppMupen64Plus < -- We know this to be correct as we can verify when installedApp Name
org.mupen64plusae.v3.fzurita.pro <-- with the app installed we know this correct as wel,l as we can verify when installedActivity Names / Activity Class Names
paulscode.android.mupen64plusae.SplashActivity <-- // When the game is loading ("Preparing game data...") see screenhot, same app name Daijisho uses ! With execptions * !
and
paulscode.android.mupen64plusae.game.GameActivity <-- // Game that's running / currently activeWhen I configure a custom emu to launch a rom I tried first with "SplashActivity"
and I get the following error
I have specified the acivity (SplashActivity) but I don't know what the intent is configured as.
When I configure for "GameActivity"
I following error
Which shows the correct intent action, however I would like to know if this can be set to 'Launch' to see if we get the same error
Lastly;
How can I get access to the Launchbox manifest.xml file to review the belowAlso, I was reading through an stack overflow thread:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/37731315/android-content-activitynotfoundexception-unable-to-find-explicit-activity-clas
stating the below...
You're instantiating the intent before the activity has gone through its life cycle methods. This means that the Context that you pass in to the Intent constructor is not valid.Typically, the intent is created right before you use it:
newEvent.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
Intent intent = new Intent(MainMenu.this, EventCreationActivity.class);
startActivity(intent);
}
});
This is also something I want to explore so I can look into providing a fix the emulator launching problem, based on the error I hoping this is what the issue is, in failing that I would like to check the manifest file to see if the mpen64 full app name was stated or not.Also, If there's anything else I can do to assist, I'm morethan happy to do so.
Thank you

Hi Jason,
I'm using a Oneplus 7 Pro, lineageOS 19 [Rooted].

Hi all,
As per the title; I'm not able to launchbox PS2 ROMs via luanchbox that are on SD-Card (Ext' Storage), however ROMs that are on the device storage (locally) work with no issue.
Below are the steps I checked to see what was going wrong
1 - The ROM is on the SD card
2 - ROM info (directory and file name)
3 - AetherSX2 and the ROM listed
4 - I launched the ROM from AetherSX2 and it worked with no issue (see the below log - I removed a chunk of the debug data and just included the the emu' showing the ROM file being called and ran

I think Launchbox is presenting a slightly off kilter directory to AetherSX2, its probably a correct way of presenting the directory/file however its not a method that AetherSX2 likes.
If anyone else has had this problem, please do let me know how I can fix this.
Thank you

Hi there,
Can anyone point me in the right direction for the application Lightspeed Mamelister please?
I've clicked on all the links I can find on the thread for where dev work was being done on the application, but all are giving me 404s!
Any help will be great.
Thank you

Hi there,
Is anyone able to provide a download link for lightspeed please?
The current one on the first page is down.

I rasied a similar case to the Daijishou team
https://github.com/magneticchen/Daijishou/issues/236#issuecomment-1487607686
to which their fix was implementing pure uri launching (I've tested this on SD card and CIFs and they both work on Daijishou frontend, can this be something that can be implemented into Launchbox Android to fix the issue here on thisapp?
