Launch the emulator and most will have a menu item to map controls. You may have to look around in the emulators UI, but usually you will see an option. For example Retroarch when you launch it without a game or core under the Gear icon you will see the "Input" option. Mame you can edit the cfg file or launch it without a game and choose "Configure Options" then "Device Mappings". It just depends on the emulator.

You got a response from me over 10 hours ago asking you to post images so we can keep trouble shooting. You say when you answer questions you get no responses....well taking a look back at your thread after every one of your posts someone has responded. So what you claim is the exact opposite of what the visual record shows. This is a small community of people doing things on their spare time. People have jobs, families, and other things to take care of. You have to expect some time delays. You have received nothing but help and if you keep posting and providing information you will keep getting that help. If you wish to keep troubleshooting respond to the open questions in your original post. If you want a refund you were also provided the steps to request one. Its up to you now.

Well there ya go. Glad its sorted. ??

When I get back to the house I will double check my Naomi setup.

Here is how I have mine for arcade games.

You have the wrong command lines. Each of those have a unique command.

Do you have the platform name listed in the Associated Platforms tab in Launchbox for the emulator and do you have the correct default command line for Naomi listed? Can you edit Demul in >Launchbox>Manage emulators and share a pic of the Details tab and the Associated platforms tab? It makes is easier to see what you have.

Correct on both questions. For game play all controls need to be configured in the emulator. What you map in BigBox is only for moving around in BigBox. No, you can shutdown the pc directly in BigBox. There is a menu item to allow shutdown.

No real difference than prior versions. Are you using a custom theme or one of the defaults?

Yes, it is a bit easier to move around in BigBox with a controller/Arcade controls. BigBox is really more of the arcade cabinet version on Launchbox. So I would recommend that more for a cabinet. You can move around in Launchbox with a controller. I do it with an Xbox One and an 8Bitdo controller so it is not impossible or cumbersome. However, LB is more like the pc front end version and BB the arcade cabinet frontend version.

@therealvegasmike please do not open new threads for the same issue. Its not necessary. I have combined your two threads Can you share pics. 1: Edit Mame in Manage Emualtors and share a pic of the Details Tab and the Associated Platforms tab. 2: Right click and edit a Mame game and share a pic of the Launcher tab and the Emulation tab. If your roms are working directly in Mame then you have something not connected in Launchbox. The pics can help us see if that is so.

Try unchecking those 2 boxes in the details tab of Mame. I do not have those checked. Not sure if they make a difference. Here is how I have mine set. I never had it set up prior to your post so this was all done within the past day and it works. Edit: Just tested with those two boxes checked and the rom stopped working. So that might be the issue.

Yeah. If you have your Tiger roms in a specific folder you can also put the bios file in that folder as well. Then in Mame make sure you add that Tiger rom folder path to Mame. Also in Launchbox I see you have "Tiger Game.com" as the Associated Platform. Is the exactly how you spelled the platform name when it shows up in Launchbox?

Change the command line to read gamecom -cart1 you left the "1" off at the end.

Can you post some pics. 1: Edit Mame in Manage Emulators and share a pic of the Details Tab and the Associated Platforms tab. 2: Right click and edit a Tiger game and share a pic of the Launcher tab and the Emulation tab. You did also point Mame's directory listing to the folder you have the Tiger roms in and the bios file is in that folder?

Based on what it says RomCenter does I think he is wanting to use it to confirm his roms are supported by Retroarch/Cores.

In Launchbox under >Tools>Options there is a section for mapping Game Controls. You can move around in Launchbox with a gamepad, but it is more useful with a keyboard.

I am on the same page as you and understand what you are wanting to do. The way I explained it is exactly how I have it working on my machine. With Game Details Screen activated "Select" button will only play a game if you are in the Game Details and choose the "play" option. Anywhere else in BigBox and on any other menu item besides "play" the "Select" Button only selects that menu item. To be honest though most people use insert coin when in the game itself. Launch a mame game and you are at the game screen that shows insert coin as if you were in a real arcade. I have not seen many people on our forum post that they want BigBox to only start a game if someone inserts a coin. If the steps I outlined are not working on your machine we would need to troubleshoot what specifically in your set-up is messing with BigBox controls.

Correct. I will try to explain it in elaborated details. "Select" is a menu select command. So when you have "Skip Game Details" option in the BigBox menu unchecked "Select" has a certain effect. When you are on the list of games when you hit "Select" is takes you to the game details screen. On that screen you will see an option to "Play" a game. If you highlight that and hit "Select" it plays the game. That is because it is “selecting” the play option. However, if you are on any other option in the game detail screen it will not "play" a game and the "select" button will only select the menu item you are on. When you have an option other than play highlighted if you do hit your mapped "Play" button it plays the game. So in this scenario the mapped "Select" button and mapped "Play" button behave how you want it to. If you have the "Skip Game Details" option checked then your mapped "Select" button will have a different effect. When you are on a list of games if you hit the "Select" button now it will directly play the game since you are bypassing the games details screen. So this means in this setting both the "Select" and the "Play" buttons will play a game. To have it how you want you need to have the "Skip Game Details" option unchecked in the BigBox settings. (Go to Options > General > make sure Skip Game Detials is NOT checked.)

Yeah it should be. I have a couple less powerful machines with 7K or more games and get maybe a slight hiccup but nothing like what you described. So I would not think it was game volume related. Have you tried what I mentioned about the Dynamic Box sizing? This feature was a new one added that caused some performance issues and Jason refined it some. So that is also partially why I was thinking it could be something for you to test.

Edited my post as I just realized you said RomCenter. I do not use RomCenter to audit my roms so I cannot provide an answer.

What are your machines specs? LB should be able to move well with only 3K games. On one of my low end machines with 5K LB has no issue. Do you have Dynamic Box Sizing turned on? Try turning it off and see if it affects anything. Reason I ask specifically that, is you mentioned the scroll bar moving and that does happen with dynamic box on. The box sizing can cause some lag since LB has to resize the box images if you add games. Not saying that is your actual issue, but something to try.

The correct command line is "gamecom -cart1" (minus the quotes) There is no "-" before gamecom. Also make sure you have the bios file called gamecom.zip. Inside that zip should be two files "internal.bin" and "external.bin". I have not seen any Mame bezel artwork for this platform.

Point to the game's .cue file not the .bin file.

BigBox is optimized for cabinets with a coin system. My cabs have real coin doors and BB works perfect with it. What @DOS76 was explaining is that Select and Play work as they are designed. If you have "Show Game Details" option set to show in BigBox when you hit "Select" when on a game it opens the Game Details Screen. However, if you hit "Play" when on the game it goes directly to playing the game and skips the game details. So if you map "Play" to the coin trigger it will do what you want. This is how I have it set up.
