There are a couple topics on other forums about Golden Tee Fore games and audio stutters. If you Google you should find some about Golden Tee Fore 2006 easily, You can apply the recommendations to the other games as well. Some options recommend running a lower resolution of the game depending on your hardware and another I saw recommended some audio setting tweaks.
Google "Golden Tee Fore audio stutter" and the first few posts it locates has some options to try.

In addition to manuals in the pause screen, can you also add additional documents (Guides, Maps, Cheat codes and so on)? I'm still using Rocketlauncher for my Pause menus. Aside from a quick demo I saw on youtube, I have no idea what the Launchbox Pause menu can and cannot do. Can it be customized? Does it work for every system including PC games? Maybe a better, more in depth tutorial should be next.
You should be able to add them as additional apps and have them show up. I added Cheat Codes to some games in pdf format documents (need to be pdf to work) and labeled as such and it shows up in my pause menu as an option.

i reinstalled the same verison
OK, well that really does not help since that is the version you say is not working. My advice was to reinstall that last version that was working. That way we can see if the issue goes away. So, again, I recommend going into your updates folder and finding the installer for the version before this one and run it. It will not erase any data. Then test the game imports.

That still does not discount something causing an issue. We are trying to help so some help in return is needed. Close down all programs not needed for Launchbox and test the game import.
What drive is Launchbox located on? Are you running as admin by chance? @DOS76 mentioned there could be a permissions issue. Have you recently changed anything besides downloading the new update?
-
Reinstalled what? The same version or prior working version. It helps to clearly state what was done.
Did you check anything else? Shutdown all other programs to make sure something else is not interfering?
-
It could be the startup sound option that is glitching it the video transition. I am not at home to double check the setting but look for an option in the settings for the default startup sound and turn it off.
There is a thread about it somewhere.

no i haven't, i dont think i was being rude because he kept trying to convince me in a smug way it was something that i had done when it was clearly the patch that caused it.
The thing though is it is not clear it is the latest update. Nothing you have provided shows it is a bug in the latest release because you have provided no troubleshooting background. You have not even tried to reinstall the last working version to confirm. So making a blanket statement it is the fault of the developer is unwarranted.
So far you are the only person having this issue. Not saying it may not be a bug, but troubleshoot first before claiming the developer “screwed up”.
Two things I recommend. 1) Reinstall the last version and let us know. 2) Run a sfc /scannow to see if windows finds any issues?

....its likely to do with some screw up with the lastest patch because right after i downloaded the patch this started happening.
Probably not the most polite way to get a dev or others to help you. Telling him he “screwed up”.
Have you tried to reinstall the last version it worked on and see if the issue goes away.

Hi I decided to create the arcade playlists in Launchbox and everything worked ok,but when I run Big box I can't see my arcade playlists.If I change to playlists view I can see the arcade playlists but If I change to platform view I only see my platforms ,Can I see my platforms and arcade playlists together?thanks!!
In Launchbox right click the playlist and edit. Go to the Parents tab and there you can set where you want a playlist to show up by ticking the box.
I think there is also a tick box on the main tab to show playlist in platform. Not at home so cannot confirm and it has been a bit since I messed with playlists.

Hello All,
Sorry for the late response. The chd files are all actually unzipped. I placed the chd in the ggxx foler but it still said that it couldn't find it. After then extracting the game archive and placing the chd file in with the correct plugin path I received a new error. I'm not sure what this means. I changed the plugin path from mame to ggxx, that could possibly be it.
That is the file that is in the ggxx.zip rom file that is needed for the game. Do you have that zip file as well? You need both the zip and chd for that game and you need to make sure Demul knows where they both are.

Ok kinda new with everything. I am only running Mame games right now. I have Rom version .139 and Mame 139. Everything runs fine. I had everything running in LaunchBox and big box that was set up in October of 2018. My system has been off the net until today. LaunchBox updates to 9.9 and nothing will load. I reloaded LaunchBox and also added the correct path to mame139. Reloaded all the roms and still nothing. Any suggestions?
There are several threads addressing this. Mame versions that old do not work properly with the latest version of Launchbox due to Pause themes being implemented. There is a command line for keyboard dinput needed to use Pause themes with Mame. This is something that was changed in Mame around version 172 or so.
You can edit your Mame emulator set-up in Launchbox and in the Default command line delete the portion showing "-keyboardprovider dinput" to get it to work again. Problem is that means Pause menu will likely not work in Launchbox. So you lose that function.
Or you can update your Mame and Roms to a more current version. Something I recommend since as new features get added to Launchbox it will be tested against current versions of emulators.

Are you using the stock Arcade1Up lcd?
Tested on 2 of my cabinets (1 with a 16:9 and 1 with a 4:3 monitor) and no issue with some of the games you mentioned. So I wonder if something in your Mame setting may be messing with it.

Thanks! In the meantime, which XML can I edit this number to 0 on a specific game/list at? I see a lot in the LB folder but I can't see to find PLAY COUNT in any of them.
\Launchbox\Data\Platforms\
Then edit the platform name xaml for the game you want to edit.

@neil9000 and @Retro808 thanks for the help!
.... but i dont know wht, i tryed everything you guys told me and didnt work for me.
The good news is, i found a solution and i will share here if that post can help someone in a future:First i open Retroarch with the core that i want and config all.
Them, i go to Quick menu > Configuration and them SAVE NEW CONFIGURATIONIs very important to choose only the (SAVE NEW CONFIGURATION), or retroarch will only save inside the retroarch.cfg and we dont want that!
Well, a new file will be saved inside my RetroArch\config folder, with the core name.
Like: genesis_plus_gx_libretro.cfgNow, i have to go to Launchbox, and edit the retroarch emulator.
In the core line, i have to call this command: -c "config/genesis_plus_gx_libretro.cfg"
Now i repeat the process to any core that i want a different config!
Work perfect to me!Yes, this does similar to what we mentioned you are just saving a custom config. Which as you see requires you to make sure you enter the -c command line in Launchbox so it knows to use the custom config. This is useful if two platforms use the same core (like Sega systems) and you want one to have certain settings. There are some older threads on the forum about this.
-
Thanks @neil9000 keep forgetting you can just do Core remaps if you only need to do controls. I usually do override since I set all the controls, shaders, overlays, and other misc configs.

Question 1: Is there any way to configure in Retroarch, different imputs for each core (per-core)?
Yes. Just launch a game with the core you want to use. Hit F1 to enter the menu system. You can set your controls and then in the Quick Menu section scroll down to overrides and choose Save Core Override. Now when you launch a game using that core it will use those controls you set. You can do these same steps to save core specific overlays and shaders. (This answers your 3rd question)
You can even do this per game.
1 hour ago, EduInmigrante said:Question2: Can i put 2 or more retroarch emulator with different folder name for different system?
Yes. Just name them differently (The name you give the emulator when you add it to Launchbox) and be sure to add the platforms that will use them in the associated platforms tab. Should be a rare case you would need to do this since you can do per core overrides even per game. But if you want to do it it is possible.
1 hour ago, EduInmigrante said:... and in some Core/systems i like one kind of scanlines and in others i like to use other overlay, but if i set one for the firts system, all other systems will have the same.
See the answer to #1 above.

Do you have the box checked in BigBox to allow Separate views per platform?

You can also map a key/button in BigBox setting that will allow you to change the view for each platform. In the Keyboard mappings and Controller Buttons settings there is an option for "Switch View" set a key/button for that and you can switch views on the fly while in a platform.

No, what name should the folder be? I have the entire chd pack of .204. Even when unpacking the chd I still received the error.
Not sure if Demul requires this like Mame does but you may need each chd for a game in its own folder named after the games zipped file and the chd unzipped inside.
So for Guilty Gear XX you should have a folder named ggxx and then the chd inside.
[Your Rom Location]\ggxx\gdl-0011.chd

You mean the one from the Windows Store? Are you able to use that one with command-line parameters?
Yes. I just added the Pinball FX3.exe as the emulator and used the same command line that would be entered if it were the steam.
The code request is just a weak way for Zen to check if you are using the cabinet to make money off of.

I'm currently at work right now but guilty gear xx is what I used as a test rom. I believe the error indicates that gdl0011.chd is not found in romset ggxx.
Are your chd files unzipped and in the proper folder?

For PinballFX3, do you guys use the Steam version or the version from the Microsoft Store?
Non-steam version. PBFX is pretty easy to get up and running. Just point to the .pxp for the table and there needs to be a command line to run the table directly. But, I think it was mentioned earlier you do need to have a cabinet mode code from Zen to launch tables directly.

Yes I have the chd plugin selected. No it still thinks I dont have the nessicary chd files even though I pointed the emulator toward the mame folder with the chd set included.
Can you give an example of a game you are trying to run that is not working?
-
@Juzzotec Honestly I am not to sure I ticked any settings. After initial download I opened VS. I selected to start a new project and under Visual Basic chose WPF User Control. It opened with the views needed.

Thanks again guys for your time
Keep us updated if you don't mind. Would be interesting to see if you found the issue. Odd that you have it on so many machines.
Startup Video on BigBox glitch?

Have you tried different themes? I wonder if it could be a transition in the theme. I can replicate the issue on only one of my machines, but it only happens if I have that default loading sound on.
Can you post a video?
