Allrighty.. I backed out using the left arrow on the launchbox GUI. It took me back out to the mame import options. I clicked the arrow to proceed.. MUCH different result. THIS TIME within 5 seconds it showed me the list of zip files and after I approved the import it proceeded to FLY through them. All in all it took about 15 seconds!

I sir, am using a OnePlus 7 Pro and the files are on an external 256GB samsung thumbrdrive. Importing 1689 files. It's been over an hour.

Is there a way to see if Launchbox is still processing files? My screen locked and I have mame importing.. a lot of files. Needless to say I don't trust android OS all that much so it leaves me wondering if the spinning circle is actually processing or the process died/killed by the OS or whatnot and it's not importing anymore.. Will it stop if the focus goes to another app?

No woories, always try to see if I can run my oldskool games on every android I get hehehehe, plus I got it free from Google and ETA matched it up nmicely against the Chromecast.. Now I can focus on my Oneplus Thank you for your time and the awesome work you're putting into all this Jason

You sir were right. I accidentally set LB to run as Administrator while testing something else.. I just happen to have the LB properties up.. ugh.. sorry .

I just confirmed on my oneplus it works (configured identically to the tivo4k). The Tivo4k runs the app and retroarch runs the games just fine. The connection to the 32 bit sideload; even though the confirmation within Launchbox app shows a success.. seems to fail to a black screen when launching a game.

Also.. I was using the Beta LWindows Launchbox and used the android export tool a couple days ago. I saved the file to my NAS.. I have a folder setup for Launchbox exports. I got prompted with an official release yesterday and I went to export to android just now (so I can test on my Oneplus) and I can't access my network drives from within Launchbox anymore. ?

Awkward... At this point I'm wondering if I'm doing something wrong... Sega Genesis.. RA 32 bit sideloaded, Default core selected in Launchbox is genesis_plus_gx_libretro_android.so. Config verified good. In Retroarch I have the Genesis Plus GX core selected. and double checked the core at libretro IF I run the Genesis roms from within Retroarch it runs fine. If I run it from Launchbox it ends up in a black screen then back to Launchbox after a couple minutes.

Thank you!! In that case the cores for the Famicom show up as FCEUmm, Mesen, Nestopia UE, QuickNES.. I ended up downloading all of them for the NES. None of them worked while trying to associate them with the ones in your list of core options in the NES category.. Black screen and eventually back to Launchbox. The verify configuration shows it's connected to Retroarch.. I don't know if their internal names have changed or what.. Something's changed. I know I had these up since I never uninstalled the last version of Launchbox you released on the app store. I'll keep trying on the other emu's.. FYI I'm running LB from the internal drive and have the games on an external SSD (formatted as internal storage) on a Tivo 4K (running Android TV).G@mbit1972!2021 I just confirmed the NES cores working from within Retroarch (sideloaded 32 bit), loaded up some games..

I am trying to configure the 3DO emulator... Retroarch (sideloaded 32 bit) only shows 3DO (Opera) while the only options in retroarch for cores is 4do_libretro_android.so From what I read the current Launchbox core for it is the old name of the project. Does Launchbox handle this change internally? I couldn't get the games to run so I figured this was my next step Actualy I'm starting to notice several of the emulators don't appear to have matching cores... TG16 cores available are Beetle PCE, Beetle SuperGrafx, Beetle PCE Fast and the cores in Launchbox are all mednafen_pce /supergrafx * .so I thought I read through the whole thread... How are people getting this to work? SOrry for the hassle....

past 2 nights I have been doing just that. Restarted the phone as well... On my OnePlus and my Tivo 4K.. BOTH have Beta enabled, one of the first things I did when I got the APK.. Never once got prompted. I just now simply opened the app and clicked on the platforms icon (as I've done before) and it prompted me to update (at least on my OnePlus 7 Pro).. What in tarnation?

I just sent an email about this as well but in case someone else is having the issue.. Where do we get the Betas from? I go the initial (at least for me) LaunchBox-Android-0.34-beta-4.apk but after that.. I've seen several iterations come up in conversation but no emails or links... Did I miss a post somewhere on a seperate frum link or something? How do we get the links to upgrade the currently installed Betas?

I know for me.. It wasn't notifications. They sit in the tray as well so you can see there was one. Plus you can disable that. It as an actual app/service updating something in the background..

Nope. Windows will still interrupt and won't necessarily tell you what it is that is taking the focus. I started to use Windows Focus Logger to find out what application is doing it but my computer dies on me. Haven't had a chance to sit down and use Launchbox since. https://www.softpedia.com/get/System/System-Info/Window-Focus-Logger.shtml The app sits in the background for a time set by you.. it logs any app that tries to steal focus so you can take steps to stop it.

Hello everyone, I would sincerely appreciate any ideas that would help me solve this... (I just tried re-importing all my Sammy Atomiswave games.. The error comes up with the import wizard too!) ugh... I've been trying to download metada/images and videos for my sammy collection. I select the menu option and immediately get this error: (in the spoiler below) If I close the error I can continue to the metadata and media wizard. It NEVER finds a thing. I can go to the individual boxes... which is another thing. I imported them after using a renamer (cmame pro). Launchbox doesn't seem to match most of them while importing. Nonetheless IF I edit the individual game (after it's been imported) and search it's metadata, it recognizes the name and at least gives me the option to select from the drop down list of names. Once I do that I can also download metadata for that game while I am editing that particular game. IF I edit the game and search for it's name and properly select it from the list.. IF I close the editing screen and go to the metadata wizard, it does not match the game and download it's metadata (associated with the error I'm getting when i open the wizard??).. So the only way to get images (no video so far) is one by one editing the games... ugh.......

Thank you for the assist. It's an X-Arcade Tank Controller. I didn't have steam running. I went through and closed all apps, used task manager and closed everything I could that was running under my profile as well that had to do with steam, gog, printers, cloud services.. anything I didn't need. The only thing I didn't close was bigbox. I am able to come to the keyboard and alt-tab.. that's what I DO NOT want to do, especially since the game doesn't pause when it happens. It is NOT a solution. One keyboard and mouse, two monitors, one turned off (disabled when I turn on LB/BB), MAME 0.220, I only use BB, so I haven't tested LB. Those option I have checked are the ones everyone that has had this problem or similar have suggested in other threads to eliminate other windows from taking focus from the emulator. They were originally off when I started having the issue and apparently had no effect in this case.. ugh.... I am going to try one thing.. You mentioned alerts so I did a quick search on stopping windows alerts and found this article on a Windows feature.. Focus assist, disables those annoying alerts in case it is what is causing this... I'll give that a try and see if it helps. Thank you fromlostdays

What in tarnation!!! It loses focus completely! We'll (me and the wife) will be in the the middle of a game and the screen will go black! You can still hear the game but the only way out is to quit the game or go to the keyboard and alt-tab! From that black screen, if you quit the game; MAME will still be running and never actually quits the game, you are simply back at the game select screen while Mame is happily still on the last game in the background! This is incredibly FRUSTRATING.. I QUIT EVERY SINGLE APP... I've gone and quit services that run under my name... still... Smack in the middle of playing at some random time! I've also set the window hiding apps as many have suggested. Does anyone have any idea that could possibly help? It's hard enough to get the wife to play... when this happens in the middle of her streak and she thinks it's me somehow.. I would sincerely appreciate ANY ideas.. I finally got this running to where I'm almost 80% with my desired emulators...

Thank you I didn't know that... What version of mame is that? The whole romset thing is sooo confusing...

Decided to try some of the games right after importing using the MAME import feature... This particular game doesn't start. I checked the info on the game, checked the location of the Rom... The ROM doesn't exist. Checked the original folder I imported FROM.. Doesn't exist there either. Happened to a few game entries... Confused...

Hello Trying to come up with the most effective/efficient way to remove my arcade roms, and re-import them (after cleaning up with clrmamepro.. just got the 1.83 version).. without having to re-import images and videos that are already downloaded....

Anyone successful with Atomiswave on the latest 0.7 Demul? The batchfile doesn't seem to work.. setting each game's individual command line to -run=awave -rom=romname opens demul to the game list.... lost

Thanks for the help and the attempt, it's already checked... Also notice Demul tends to lose it's config... I have to go to it's settings and select the folder, iot won't load the configs after I close it.... If it's not one thing....

Already been there. Many others all pointing at Zone Alarm, comodo. I'm using webroot. I don't get it all the time.. just randomly. Especially if iv'e had launchbox up for a while.

Anyone know how to get around that error "can't reserve 512 Mbytes of memory"... I'm trying to set up Sammy Atomiswave and not having much luck. I've gotten this error with Dreamcast and Naomi.. but it's totally random. Normally quitting Launchbox and restarting it fixes it.... NOT this time.. Not with Sammy it seems. I'm running Win 10 with 16 GB of Ram and GTX1070

using --nogui WORKS!! BUT I HAVE to comment out the ahk script or it keeps doing it.... I'm starting to think it's the script.... It even has a bonus that now reshade 3 LOADS UP!!!!!!!!
