I found the Retroarch picture guide thread.... What concerns me most is this comment: " "Retroarch relies on a database when it comes to importing it's roms and your games need to match the naming of the roms in the database. It uses the No-Intro romsets for it's naming so if your roms are not from the No-Intro sets you may run into issues, there are a couple of 3rd party import programs to be found on their fourms though to generate playlist files." I don't know which of my ROMS follows those naming convention; likely many don't...and rocketlauncher doesn't really care...that might be a royal pain to fix in my collection...it's gotten pretty big... :-\

Excellent reason Zombeaver...sounds fun; maybe I will just try to add both to my collection! :-)

Awesome, good info and appreciate the response and encouragement...I may have to limit this switch to my own and give my friend the other ones since it's almost done... but if I try it, for the sake of speed...instead of hunting down 50 different videos for retroarch setup to get the command lines for LAunchbox to use...is there a 1-2 page article anywhere that lays out the settings for each emulator? I saw this link and assume it works in general, but I know that Retoarch uses commands with -lib something something...

I wouldn't want the English dub at all...I'd prefer the Japanese audio, as long as I can read it; but I'm like that with movies too.

Thanks a lot...I thought ePSXe was the leader in psx tuff still, shows how clearly outdated I am on that, I'll use Mednafen instead for psx! :-) Which means I use it for TG/NEC-CD, SATURN and PSX now....when I launch the ALT+SHIFT+1 and configure my controller is it over-writing the previous one for other systems, or does it keep those separate per system normally? I AM willing to switch to RA, but how hard is it going to be for me to change my existing collection from using (mostly) rocketlauncher (every emulator gets the same emulator/command line switches in launchbox TO Retroarch? Not a huge fan of rocketlauncher I guess...it's mostly about LB and the games to me, and being able to configure stuff and have it REMEMBER it... ....and it must be portable on a drive, because...I was trying to complete this collection to provide it as a gift for a friend too....might be a struggle if I change it all now... :-\

I was going to try to get this too; I even saw some mods online for playing this version with the VOICES on Dreamcast (with the Xbox audio implemented into an image), but it was a MBF / MBS file format....ugh.... ...but then was happy to learn that there is already a PAL version for Dreamcast for Shenmue II that provides English subtitles...and I'd much rather have the original japanese voice acting, so that one seems the better deal; at least for me! As per the topic though, would love a working XBOX emulator too, for various other games...

Also for PSX1 emulation, we add EPSXE to list, and have I have to ask...which one should I go with there? I'm using Launchbox, with Rocketlauncher, although I'm fine with not using RL for any of these systems if it makes it better/easier..

I'm wondering if anyone has experience between these two emulators for TG/PCE-CD and/or Saturn games? Mednafen seems to work fine, it's the only one I've tried... but the controller configuration is annoying...some late developments on Bizhawk, just wondering if anyone can weigh in on this... Thanks! -Brett

This sucks, it's like 31 games, LOL, none are working if they are not US or PAL....darn...

Hmmm I guess I need to test every one of these...and I'll let you know all know if any work. Thanks.

I AM able to launch EURO PAL games (Ex Virtua Tennis 2 PAL), but for some reason the Japanese titles just won't work... ....anyone have these working fine with their DEMUL 0.7 builds?

I can't find anything besides various dc.zip packs online, and none seem to work :-(

My Dreamcast games are all uncompressed in individual folders (GDI format, they have additional tracks files in the same folder), the US ones ONLY work...I have the file DC.zip in the roms folders where they are... I created a new instance in launchbox for Naomi 1/2 for Demul as I read was recommended, and tested Virtua Fighter 4 Final Run, it works fine... When I open a US DC game, it boots up fine too, but when I try a Japanese one, it only boots to the DC icon screen....the only difference I can make in the process is to choose VIDEO / VGA and some Japanese games tell me I have the wrong video mode selected...so I go back and choose RGB.... What am I missing, is there some special Japanese BIOS I don't have - where do I get it, does it need to be renamed and placed into the DC.zip? My setup, along with an example game not working...

Ah okay, I figured out where to put them...cool, thanks!

What is the most common use for these? How can I utilize these within Launchbox? Thanks.

Also having the GENRE and SERIES be in Alphabetical order in the main Desktop Launchbox view on the left side when selected, from top to bottom, would be very nice (adding to the request comments)

Wow that was really helpful! Thanks a lot!

I see...I'm wishing there was a similar list of commands and exactly where in the RL interface to set those things (as needed)....I guess I'll have to just trial and error it...thanks.

This list is awesome...wondering how to incorporate most (all?) of these command lines as needed into ROCKETLAUNCHER since I'm not using stand-alone emulators for the most part... I mean, where IN rocketlauncher would I ideally place these command-lines for the select EMU...anyone know? Thanks! - Brett

I currently only have virtual fighter 4 final run, but your right about that...for MAME the only one I have and probably care about is Killer Instinct :-)

DOS76, I do have the complete MAME .179 (50GB) Split rom set, and a small update to .the 180 rom version...but no CHDs...I hope that works with this... I will try this method to get the roms sorted and then guess I'll have to find the correct CHD because I surely want those too :-) Thanks! -Brett

Maddoc, Any chance you can post what you send with your "check your mail on here" comment...having similar issues...that is, if you gave any helpful info in that message? Thanks!
