Also try a different theme. There were some theme's that did have memory leak issues. Which one are you currently using? Default ones should be ok since Jason tests those pretty well.

Should work fine as long as the emulator does not have issues. I know many members use arcade controls and have gamepads for console specific systems. We have seen some users have issues with wired controllers being plugged and unplugged and some emulators not retaining the mapping since Windows can reassign a controller ID each time it is plugged back into a USB. I have not seen many issues like this with wireless though. I have been using my arcade controls with Xbox One and 8bitdo wireless controllers for several years now and minimal issues.

We have not seen other posts about Emumovies log in issues. I have been able to access Emumovies without issue even added and scraped a 20 games as recently as a couple hours ago. Are you getting an ID/password error or some other type of cannot access media error? You mentioned since the last beta this has occurred. Have you tried to reinstall the version you had before to confirm it might be beta related?

Do you have clear logos for the ones missing the Launchbox folder structure I mentioned? (The first folder path I listed) If so then a cache refresh should fix it.

Most themes do not come with clear logos. Those are usually downloaded when you add a platform and it scrapes the metadata, though not all systems are covered. So you may need to add your own, or add a different style of clear logo than the ones LaunchBox will scrape. Those typically get stored in \Launchbox\Images\[Platform Name]\Clear Logo folder. If a theme does include them they they would be located within the theme's main folder and within the Images\Theme\Logo folder. So \Launchbox\Themes\[Theme Name]\Images\Theme\Logo If you do add your own and they do not show you may need to refresh the cache. In BigBox go to the settings and look for Images. In that section will be options to refresh the image cache.

Yeah, anytime you add an image in the correct folders and BigBox does not automatically display them just do a cache refresh. Sometime this may even be needed in LaunchBox.

Agree. I cannot believe how horrible we are as moderators. ?

No worries. I think you did read a little to much into it. I am never worried if someone is or is not being judgmental of me. Just to be open about it, I did not even think that. I was suggesting simply that after 30 plus posts in a short period of time and he is up an running that was a good enough stopping point for me. You quoted me, so I just wanted to respond as I try not to ignore a member if I am tagged in a post.

I know. The fact he moved his original roms and did not have LB move them on import lets me know his new import is working and has good named roms which is why I really did not say much more. His last pic confirms what I was suspecting and even shows it does contain the proper rom along with the -1 name that LB can do when it moves roms. I know being more concise on the error might be helpful to others possibly, but a lot of info went back and forth and now that it is working sometimes it is best to stop right there for now.

Yeah no worries. You are up and running now so glad you are sorted.

Cool. My next attempt was going to be moving everything off that drive. Glad you did that already as what ever was the true issue got fixed since you started over. The platforms tab showing different is not an issue. It will only change if you manually change it. That is Launchbox’s default.

Can you right click on a game in Launchbox, choose edit and post an image of that screen with the launcher tab showing and one with the details tab showing?

Missing .exe at the end of the file path.

When you selected the multi_cpu it should have changed it to full path. You can just copy and paste the path there. Just something to test and see. Like I said I had an odd issue with a relative path before. So would not hurt to try.

I am at a loss. I was wondering if it was the relative path as I had an odd issue with a specific game playing before and when I changed the path from showing relative to the full path it worked. Not sure why it would matter, but it did. I notice though that even after changing it is still showing relative ::\::\m2emulator\emulator_multicpu.exe versus showing the full M:\Program Files (86x)\m2emulator\emulator_multicpu.exe

Nope. Was not even an item that made the last users poll.

Yes. Either should be able to run. But as Neil and Dos said I would also recommend using the multicpu exe. In my images I changed it to the standard one just to test your settings and make sure it ran.

Could you try something. In the edit emulator screen you emulator path is showing a relative path. Can you edit the emulator path and reselect so it shows the full file path and then test again running a game?

No there is not one needed. It is a pretty straight forward set-up. Do you game run directly in the emulator? That would not really be the issue, but just want to make sure. Here is my set-up and runs with no issue. Nothing additional added. Just made sure the emulator directory path was set. Set-up the emulator in LB and set the Associated Platform.

If the folder in your image is correct you need to remove the ";" symbol in front of "Dir1".

Are you roms stored in the roms folder where the emulator is stored or elsewhere? If stored elsewhere you need to add that folder path to the EMULATOR.ini file.

Yeah, this is why I avoid downloading those random arcade rom sets and prefer using the roms from a Mame set if they are there. You never know how old/good the roms are. So I would recommend getting the latest or at least a newer Mame set. I know archive.org has some more recent versions. Download a newer set, use the batch file I posted and have it copy into a new folder the NeoGeo files. Move the folder wherever you want and set up Mame (try Mame over Retroarch first). You will need to open Mame and direct it to that folder. You should see an option in the Mame UI to set directories (You can do this by editing the Mame.ini, but honestly it is super easy to just point and click in the UI). Once done save the settings and test a game. Once you tested a bunch of games and they work, then import into Launchbox.

Its actually not a theme thing. This is built into the BigBox UI to display marquee images. Theme developers do not need to create a view for platform or game marquees. So a theme should not affect the ability to display the marquee, but anything is possible. If you are not seeing images and you have them in the folder I mentioned and named correctly try refreshing your image cache. As well as, if you are not using the default theme, switch to the default, refresh the cache and if the images show then switch back to the theme you were using and see if it works. I have something similar happen at times with clear logos and do these steps to get it working again. What theme are you using?

In LB under >Tools>Options in the Updates section make sure you have betas selected. The beta has already been released.

So you are renaming the folder that Mame creates after it takes a screenshot? Launchbox is pointed to a folder of that name located inside the main LaunchBox folder structure. Also the image file name needs to be named after the game as it shows in Launchbox or like the rom is named. \LaunchBox\Images\Arcade\Screenshot - Gameplay
