Thanks Joe! You rock!!!!

I am not able to get my CHDs to work. I have always ran my own installation of Mame, and CHDs have always worked, but figured i would try LB's auto setup of Mame and now CHDs dont work. i keep my roms and CHDs separate. I added the rom and chd folders by opening mame in LB's Mame folder and adding through the gui. Everything works fine in Mame, but when i try running from LB, it doesn't do anything. I then copied sf3 folder from my chd folder into the rom folder and it worked from LB. My paths are in the mame.ini # # CORE SEARCH PATH OPTIONS # homepath . rompath "roms;M:\Mame\MAME Roms;M:\Mame\MAME CHDs" hashpath hash samplepath samples;M:\Mame\Extras\samples artpath artwork ctrlrpath ctrlr Not sure why setting up my own version of Mame works, but the auto version of Mame doesnt.

@reflex33 I made a tool that will check your LB platform, and your rom folder and check if there is anything different between the two. I keep my systems up to date with no-intro. Games are constantly being removed, added and their names changed. My tool will show you which roms are just in either in LB or the rom folder, and what games are named differently than what the rom file has. It can also rename your LB games based on the rom file name. Not sure if this is something you would be interested in, but I'd be happy to share it with you.

Thanks C-Beats, That does not seem to be the issue. The version is there. Weird thing is i deleted all of the games, and then reimported them, and combined them, and it happened again. @C-Beats Maybe this is a bug? I just tried a fresh installation of LB, and it still makes that Additional App tab for this game only. I have not seen this tab with any other combined game. Im using v12.12-beta 2

I combined the roms in my Virtual Boy platform, and one game is acting differently than the others. If I right click on most games I only show Play Version, and it has two versions of the game listed. But for Virtual League Baseball i only have one version in Play Version, But i have an additional App section, and the (japan) version is in here. Really this is Virtual Pro Yakyuu '95 (Japan), but it having a different name isn't the issue as another combined game that has a different named version is not doing this. Panic Bomber (USA) and Tobidase! Panibon (Japan) both show up in Play Version, and there is no additional app section. Why is Additional App only showing up for that one game, and what controls the menu list?

@c-beats Makes sense... thanks for the info!

Thanks C-Beats. Just a question... if we can pull the orientation from Mame, wouldn't it be easier to just make it a filterable tag?

How are the vertical games, and CHD playlists populated? I wanted to make a playlist like 2 player simultaneous Vertical, but you can't auto populate Vertical. The games are manually added on import. is there a way to have a vertical tag instead of just being added by Launchbox? When mame updates, will you need to manually update the list again if there are any new games added to mame?

Thanks @C-Beats I do see them in additional documents. Sorry for the false alarm. Was this changed somewhat recently? I had my Daphne system setup this way in ver 11, and was able to run the .txt as additional versions. I just recently reinstalled everything so I'm running into all the different updates features now. Now to figure out how to get my Daphne running with RocketLauncher again.

@C-Beats Im not sure is this is on the beta side or something else. I deleted my Daphne system, and i'm just importing a few games to start with. I've imported Galaxy Ranger and I have both rom versions added (Hitachi, and Pioneer). When I go to combine them it asks for the root game, but it is listing totally different games. The Metadata is correct. it has the correct LB database ID. I'm combining Galaxy Ranger (Hitachi) and Galaxy Ranger (Pioneer). Hitachi and Pioneer are in the version filed. It is trying to combine Galaksija and Galaksija plus. I combined them and the name stayed Galaxy Ranger, but the "Play Versions" is missing. in Metadata they are listed in the alternate apps My Daphne system was created after the beta update. I do have the "Play Versions" with my systems that were added before the update.

Thanks @C-Beats Yeah i saw that change with the other beta release, and like I said I do see that with my other systems. Just this new system is not showing version and apps. I'm going to delete all of my Daphne games and try reimporting them. This is the same system I had reported an error on earlier for this beta release. After rebooting my system the error went away, but maybe there was something else that was bad.

Has loading alternate apps been removed? I'm combining my Daphne game versions like say dragon's lair v1, and v2. When i right click on the parent Dragon's lair, i don't have play version... i can only play the parent. Games that i had combined before the upgrade do show play version.

Can confirm that right clicking on newly added system is now working again. Thanks!

Thanks @MadK9 I have those bios. if I don't have the bios i get the failed to load content error in Retroarch, but when i have the bios it just crashes. My games are "correct" according to the redump dat file, and are in bin/cue format. do you have any info on a good dump that i can use to compare my files? Picodrive does work with normal 32x games, and my cd games work in gen-plus core, but all of the CD based games crash the picodrive core.

Can someone please help with setting up Sega CD 32x games in Retroarch. When I run Sega CD 32X games in Retroarch with the picodrive core Retroarch just crashes. I can run regular Sega CD games just fine, but all of the 32x versions crash. If I try running the games with the genesis plus core, the game loads but I get the this game needs the 32x unit. I know the genesis plus core does not work with 32x... but my game is image should be working. Can anyone help me with getting the 32x versions to work, or is there a different core that can be used? Thanks,
