Is your rom drive and internal or external drive? Reason I ask is in your platform the games folder points to a G Drive and the actual game for Mario Sunshine is pointing to an F Drive. That's not so much an issue as for the game to run LB just needs to point to the correct folder/rom file. The folder the platform defaults to can actually be different. I am still also perplexed that you have all those platforms in your build but your \Data folder does has only 3 platform xml files. What drive is your LB installed to?

If those files are moved or deleted from that LB folder those platforms will not show up in your LB when you open. If they got moved to another folder it was not done by LB as that is the root folder LB uses for those files. Do you have 2 different builds of LB? Can you open LB and post a pic of LB interface (make sure it show the whole screen). Also right click on the Gamecube platform and edit it. Then show a pic of the Folders tab. Then pick a Gamecube game and right click on it and edit. Show a pic of the Metadata tab and the Launching tab.

Something is odd here. In an earlier post you said the issue occurs with Gamecube, Xbox, and PS2. However, in that image you do not have a Gamecube.xml nor an Xbox.xml file showing. That \Data\Platforms folder should contain xml files for all platforms you imported games into LB.

Did you recently update LB at all? Are your games on a drive on the pc or a network (NAS drive)? Can you confirm if what I mentioned is the case? Also can you open your \Launchbox\Data\Platform folder and share a pic of the contents of that folder?

When a game gives you that warning right click the game in LB and edit it. Go to the Launching tab and confirm the path listed there is indeed the path of the rom. If not you need to correct it. If this ends up the case you may need to do it for all roms in the platform. You can bulk edit the path for all of them in the platform by selecting all games and then going to >Tools >File Management >Update Rom Path…

Did you try to section of code C-beats posted for the original post. See below:

Dolphin has been working for years in LB. Can you provide specifics to what exactly is happening (What platform, what happens when you try to launch a game)? May also be helpful to share images of your Dolphin set-up in LB (>Tools >Manage >Emulators and edit Dolphin. Post pic of Details tab and Associated platforms tab)

Well what version LB are you running? Per one of our devs.....

This is correct. There is no option to hide the name. Small price to pay for not really having DRM on the software.

I understand. . Its just an FYI not wanting you to think I am coming down on you.

Issue was solved in a another thread. @haradooku Glad you were able to get sorted. Please do not spam multiple threads with the same issue in the future.

Try selecting all games and hitting F5 to refresh the image cache.

No, If LB sees the roms in the actual roms folder it will add them back on next open. You said you were selecting yes with the prompt to delete the actual roms. Can you confirm the roms are no longer in the rom folder? I don't mess with ScummVM so not sure if there is something different about how those roms are so I could be off base here.

Do what JoeViking said in his post.

non-merged: contains all that is necessary for a given game to run in one ZIP file. Parent contains all needed and the clone contains all needed. merged: has parent set and one or more clone sets merged inside the parent.

It's all in jest. However, Monkus truly does have way more knowledge than me. I am just a dude who likes to tinker and tries to help.

Accept that you are a Pro @Lordmonkus we bow down at your emulation prowess. One post and you worked your magic.

Well, the big issue here is if trying to run the game directly through Retroach without using LB is not working then it is not a LB issue. Something has gone wrong in your RA build. So no amount of troubleshooting LB is going to fix it. It may be worth reinstalling Retroach. Could be a WIn11 update possible messing with something in RA like a video driver. Not sure what antivirus you are using but can you check it to see if it has quarantined anything related to Retroach and while you are at it anything related to LB.

OK, yeah this does seem a bit odd. I wonder maybe if something with a Win11 update. All my builds are on Win10. The loading (spinning wheel) shows LB is sending the command line but clearly something is disconnected since it stops. I know you have done this already but can you do it again and just provide the result: Following the path you set in LB for Retroach can you open that path in Windows and launch Retroarch directly. Then inside Retroarch open an NES game, but do so by following the path to the file you have set in LB for the game (do not use the option for recently opened games) and launch the game with the core you have set in the Associated Platforms tab. Doing this can you confirm it launches the game without issue?

The updates to LB and the emulator dependancies would not have affected existing game paths and/or emulator paths and cores. It is just an added function that performs a check on your emulator and the core dependancies such as bios files. As mentioned LB updates, even to any of the emulator features, does not touch existing paths. If it did we would have a ton more people with this issue. @Lord Bobbymort I do not see any settings issues in your images. Did you set Retroarch up when you first added it or did you use the option in the import wizard to have LB download and setup? I would recommend going into LB emulator setup for Retroach and reassign the emulator path and reassign the core in the Associated Platforms tab. Then I would go into one of your platforms (such as NES) and do a bulk edit of the rom path for all games (Select all games in the platform then go Tools >File Management >Change ROMs Folder Path for Selected Games). Just to make sure both the emulator path and the rom paths are proper. Then test launching a game. If after doing this you still have an issue let us know.

There is a dedicate thread for this.

LB updates never touch emulator settings nor game metadata so it would not edit any of the xml files associated with that. Best thing to do is share some photos to see if we an spot the disconnect. >Tools >Manage >Emulators and edit Retroarch 1. Pic of the main details page 2. Pic of the Associated Platforms page (be sure to expand it so we can see all that is in the list. Next pic a game and platform not working. Right click the game and edit it. 1. Pic of the main details page. 2. Pic of the emulation page. 3. Pic of the launching page. One of the more common issues is users having 2 Retroarch installs on their pc and testing directly in the Retroach in one location but having LB pointed to a Retroarch in another location. This happens quite a bit so make sure this is not the scenario.

Are you running Teknoparrot as Admin by any chance?

BB settings do not affect Pause Themes. You need to edit the code of the Pause Theme you are using and remove the line of code.

Nice to know. Might have a play around with that.
