I have a cabinet built and I have to restart it big box several times a day. It seems to crash while trying to load the video during attract mode. I just uninstalled VLC. Hopefully that fixes it, I'll update if it does. edit: it lasted overnight without crashing! yay! uninstalling VLC and setting big box to use WMP

Did you download the cores in retroarch? Did you set the emulator preference s up for retroarch? Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk

Too bad it doesn't work on Android or 64b retroarch Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk

It works perfectly in 32 bit but has a black screen in 64 bit. It also doesn't work on any of my android devices. Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk

Yeah, this was a fantastic game. Can it be played split screen? I think there is a GameCube version that has split screen. Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk

I have tested it. It is reproduced. Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk

so it seems that if the launchbox exists on the root of the drive, all paths that are created have a ..\ in front of them. This is okay as long as it doesn't exist elsewhere in a folder like z:\launchbox\launchbox.exe instead of z:\launchbox.exe. I guess I will start fix all my paths once I move it one folder deeper and hope it works from there, or start over and rebuild an entirely new library.... ugh!

Yeah, It looks like I messed up the paths. I've solved it now, thanks for the input. To be clear, I had launchbox and everything in it on the root of a drive (a mapped network drive). For some reason, some of my paths had ../ in front of them and some didn't! this worked on other computers with the same mapping because everything lived in the root and that was a far back as ..\ could go. Once i synced it to another computer and it was now z:\launchbox\launchbox.exe instead of z:\launchbox. I just have to fix all the relative paths once and my library should work from then on.

Dropbox would have done the same thing had I made this mistake. It too creates conflicted files if you try to save something that is open on another computer. Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk

I have discovered dozens of conflicted files. Seems I didn't close launchbox before I launched it on another computer. It made a horrible conflicted file problem. May god have mercy on my soul.

the correct path would be "images\arcade" the path changed itself to "..\images\arcade" so now it thinks the images folder has been moved outside of the launchbox folder....... but only a couple of systems or some roms or some folders.

This is a disaster! My entire launchbox system was working perfecly for several days. I used amazon drive to sync the entire thing to other computers. I was under the assumption that everything would stay portable and all the paths were relative. I just launched launchbox and found that randomly a huge portion of seeminly random things have broken paths now. I discovered that some paths have "..\" appended to the beginning of them. This doesn't make any sense, I didn't change any paths, and that wouldn't be the path. I am watching these paths break in real time! For examlpe, n64 was just working, but now the path for the images and video and manual have all changed to up one folder and now it's broken. It also changed the path to the emulators, so literally every single rom is broken now because the emulator it expects has changed to ../ Please tell me I am not crazy!

thanks for the help. I simply moved the entire collection into the rom folder in mame. Then I imported into launchbox without moving the files and set the correct rom path in mame and all is working now! I'm wondering though, is the mame rom path relative? It seems to say z:\launchbox\games\arcade\ and that isn't relative so I'm afraid it won't be portable unless the other computer uses the same drive letter.

Okay thank you that makes sense. So I'll move the other 20gb of files in there. I was being lazy because I'm using Amazon drive to back this whole thing up and didn't want to add 7000 more files than it needed, but I get it now. Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk

I understand all of that, and thank you for your quick reply! However, the problem I am having is I don't know which files in that mame folder are BIOS and which are games. There are 11k files in that folder and they all have inconspicuous names and the same extension. Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk
