I know I'm coming in very late on this. I got the Apple IIe working by following this whole thread (and some luck). I'm able to get Apple IIgs working in mame, but can't seem to get it to work on Retroarch using the same Apple II setup. Am I missing something? EDIT: Okay...I got this to work. I launched RetroArch in verbose mode to follow what the issue was. I hadn't named my folder correctly. Now...my problem is setting up the controls on the IIgs. Any hints?

All...I realize this is a pretty old thread, but using this method, I can get the games to launch and they go full screen, but then I have the command prompt sitting on top of the emulator. I have to click on the emulator and that makes the command prompt go behind the emu. I can then play, but then as described above, I end hitting the pause screen to exit the emu.

Here is the only way I've figured out how to close the game. I hit the Launchbox key for PAUSE screen and then select EXIT GAME. There has to be a better way though

I'd like to throw my name in the hat voting for this kind of feature.

This one has me stumped. I traced logs and edited xml files to no avail. The thing is that it gets some of the game names right (and thus presents the logo on my fade screen). Even when the log shows it didn't find a name, if I change from image (clear logo) to text, it does show the correct game name. I may have to go digging at the rocketlauncher site.

Hello guys/gals. I've been using Rocketlauncher from launchbox for fade screens, bezels, etc. The issue I'm having is that for fade screens, Rocketlauncher is not pulling the Clear Logo. I've traced the log on rocketlauncher and there is this line which makes me think the platform xml is missing a tag (or Rocketlauncher is expecting a different tag). The error is below. BuildDatabaseTable - Ended - no "Game Name" found. Assigning "2020 Super Baseball (USA)" to the label "Name" I'm fairly certain it relies on pulling this name to match the clear logo. When I look at an older Hyperspin xml file, there is a "game name" tag. Any idea what I might be doing wrong? EDIT: I used the troubleshooting log on Rocketlauncher to find the issue. Most of my files has a region appended to the end in parenthesis (USA). Apparently when parsing the name, Rocketlauncher did not like this and couldn't find the files that Launchbox had placed in the Clear Logo folder. I resolved the issue by unpacking all of my zip files, using Bulk Renamer (great tool), and rezipping the files. All works as expected now.

Won't be able to test for a few days, but trust you got it done. Thanks a lot @Jason Carr. You and the team continue to impress.

Yes...I just thought I wouldn't give the username.

@Jason Carr Here is my folder. Thanks for taking a look. I only removed my emumovies username/password. Data.7z

I'm bumping this as it was an edit at the end of a longer post. When I look at the playlists in Launchbox, they are near perfect. However, when I look at my playlists in BigBox, I have multiple duplicates across all of the auto created playlists. Does anyone have an idea on how to fix this?

@Jason Carr Further information on the issue. I deleted all of the playlists and my ARCADE/MAME platform. I imported MAME from the tools menu and this time selected the option to have the playlists created automatically at the time of import. I imported all CLONES. After it was done, I took a look at CAPCOM Classics and the playlist was rather complete. The only things that were missing were things that I didn't import (such as prototypes or quiz games). I then went in and consolidated ROMS so that I didn't see a bunch of duplicates. After this was done, I once again went in and looked at the playlists. This time I looked at all of them and they are all complete. I don't know if this information helps, but do want you to know that for me...this resolves my issue. As others have said, I'm so glad I was turned on to your front end by Simply Austin. You and the team here are a dedicated group and Big Box is simply awesome. I still use Rocketlauncher for Bezels and Fade Screens, but Big Box interfaces with Rocketlauncher beautifully. EDIT: The only issue I seem to have now is that when I go to BigBox, there are multiple duplicates in the playlist views. I do not see duplicates in Launchbox view.

@Jason Carr Yes...I identified those games were missing via the edit function and then looking at the "games" tab. Where they used to say Mame on some and Arcade on others, due to my change (only having ARCADE as a platform) they only show as Arcade now. I found the "missing" games by simply going to my ARCADE platform and using the search function in Launchbox (top right). It seems the games are being picked up by the initial import of the ARCADE platform, but not the automatically created playlists.

@Jason Carr I'm bringing up the topic of the automatic playlist creation again as I've had some time to make some changes and further try to understand the issue. I deleted all of the playlists and then deleted my MAME platform. I imported MAME ROMS, but this time named the platform ARCADE. In addition, I did not apply any of the MAME import filters. I'm using a full rom set 0.183 and when finished importing I had 10,516 games in the ARCADE platform. I then automatically created Arcade/Mame playlists from the Tools menu. At this point I hadn't consolidated ROMS. When finished I checked the CAPCOM Classics playlist and the following games were missing (I understand when the games are missing related to being a different region or bootleg, etc.). Avengers, Block Block, Captain Commando, Carrier Airwing, Commando, Final Fight, Forgotten Worlds, Ghosts n Goblins, Knights of the Round, Side Arms, Space Invasion, Street Figher, Street Fighter 2: Championship Edition, Street Fighter 2: World Warrior, The King of Dragons, The Punisher, Speed Rumbler, Three Wonders, Top Secret, Warriors of Fate, and Willow. I then manually searched my ARCADE platform for these games. I found all of them and manually added except for Avengers and Commando; which were not found. I'm hopeful this is helpful in tracking down what may be causing some games to come up missing.
