  1. You can create custom configs and have them load using the -c "path\to\config" parameter in the Associated Platforms window of Retroarch in LB.

    It's not needed, because you can save core overrides in retroarch

    On a side note and may not be anything at all you mention using one core such as the Mame core for Genesis ? I assume you are just using that as an example and you don't actually do that because there is a GenesisGX which is better than Mame.

    I already edited my post, it was a mistake :)

    Also in the Mame core you can setup a default control scheme by pressing "Tab" and bringing up the Mame menu and then you can also do "per machine" configs using the "Tab" menu as well.

    and i didn't know about that, hope it will help

    thanks

    I still don't get what you are asking for. You can have Retroarch load a custom config if you wanted it to, you can also have Retroarch use per core and per game configs if you want.

    Did you read first post?

    In general the problem is when you are using only one core for arcade you can't use various control binds for different schemes like capcom, neo geo, midway, etc

    And saving 1000+ configs is painful

    If we can point retroarch for individual config which can be Retroarch.cfg but with different binds for each system placed in several folders, and replace them each time a game of coresponding platform had chosen

    well, it's a problem for arcade sticks only

    I read the discussion of this problem on libretro forums, and there everything was reduced to the fact that it is more convenient to have a unified layout of the retropad(snes like), than to adjust to various configs

    I thought it was possible somehow through the Big Box

    sorry if I ask too much

    You could set up 2 or more retroarches for the 1 system. Any game you come across that uses a previous configuration you already set up could be separated. But again a lot of work.

    Sorry I cant help more, im out of my depth here so Im going to shut up lol.

    Yes, it's alot of work, and i'm not sure it would be faster then save per game configs :)

    No need to sorry, we are all here for that and gathered in this part of the forum - to explore what we are not very good at

    The only thing that I immediately understood for myself when configuring the Retroarch from scratch is that you first need to disable "save on exit" function, so as not to worry in the future that something would break in Retroarch. :)

  4. Hi to all!

    I'm interested in one important question.

    Is there any solution to starting a game from Bix Box via Retroarch with certain config file?

    I know that i can save config overrides for any core/game, but when it comes to thousands of games, it can take a very long time of your life to save each and every game config.

    The problem is with my custom made arcade stick. 

    In Retroarch there is some standard of buttons bind which is called "Retropad". Standart layot is:

    Y X R1 L1

    B A R2 L2

    But when it comes to arcade games with such a layout of buttons, at this point there are many problems such as:

    • Capcom games like Street Fighter which has two rows of 3x buttons (top is weak/medium/strong punch, bottom row is the same but for kick).

    • Neo-Geo games commonly like to use A, B, C, D all on one row.

    • Games with 1, 2, or 3 buttons (in a row) - usually Attack/Fire, or Attack + Jump, or Attack + Jump + Special (special move, special bomb, etc.).

    All these binds do not work as they should, instead they are attached to default Retroarch layout (Retropad).

    I would like to make several configs with button bindings for certain systems (not to save the configuration for each separate game, since the same mame core is used and I can not just keep core overrides).
    Is it possible to start Retroarch with a command line or something else when launching a game through the Big Box so that when the game starts from a certain playlist (for example one for Capcom games, one for NeoGeo, one for Shmups, etc...) a certain configuration with a certain layout of the buttons is loaded?

    For example if you can use default Retroarch.cfg with different buttons binds placed in various folders.

    Thanks

  5. Great job you've done! Thanks!

    But can i ask you a question?

    By what principle did you select roms for the arcade lists?

    Did you select them by region? But sometimes you choose US region, and sometimes it's World revision. Why?

    For example why you choose 1941u.zip which is a clone instead of using 1941.zip which is a parent rom and later World revision?

    And another reason why i asking you about it is that there is plenty of clones that are better then parent roms.

    For example "TMNT Turtles in time" parent rom (tmnt2.zip in you list) doesn't let you choose characters (you can play only for Leonardo) and the better version is a clone 2 players US version (tmnt22pu.zip)

    Same goes to Simpsons and Sunset Riders, only 2 players clones let you choose different characters.

    Some games are better depending on the region, they may have better gameplay, improved graphics, even additional content.

    Great list of better clones you can find here: http://hyperspin-fe.com/forums/topic/26943-list-of-mame-clones-worth-playing-redux/

    I really like your lists, you did a great amount of job, but i want help to make them even better.

    Thanks!

     

  6. Hi to all!

    Just bought premium and started to modify my collection with Launchbox!

    What i'm searching for is Sega genesis cartridges.

    I've already got NES cartridges from emumovies: 

    https://emumovies.com/files/file/1615-nes-cartridge-pack-3d-vector/

    https://emumovies.com/files/file/1480-nes-cartridge-pack/

    And i'm searching for something similiar to this.

    But the only one Genesis pack that i found is - https://emumovies.com/files/file/1189-genesis-2d-cartridge-pack-raw/

    Not a bad one, but NES packs looks more cleaner maybe.

    I don't have Emumovies paid account, is there any other genesis packs on Emumovies ftp or section for paid accounts (not sure how it really works there)?

    Thanks, great community here!

    and sorry for my bad english, it's not my native language :)
