Yes Michael ,
but the games play but only if I add them 1 at a time

Hi guys
Would love some help/advice, I am new to LB and have followed a few videos but still keep getting stuck , the main problem I have is adding games
It seems I can only add 1 game at a time , I go to import and add files I choose the roms I need , in this case its for the NES , I then choose Retroarch and it adds the roms and gets the box art etc
The problem then is when I click on a game to run nothing happens , Now if I do the above but only choose 1 rom it goes through the motions and that game will play fine when I click on it
It's only when I choose to import more then 1 rom at a time I have the issue
So come on guys what am I doing wrong ?
I have tried snes too and that does the same , I have completely removed LB and RA and reinstalled but with no luck
-
Hi spycat , have unchecked those two boxes but still does the same
-
Thanks for that spycat, will try that

Hi guys , sorry to be a real pain but I still cannot get Colecovisiom to work
here is what I have done so far ....
1. Downloaded MAME 0183
2. Downloaded a complete MAME 0183 Split romset (54Gb)
3. Placed the romset into the MAME rom folder
4. Started LB and added a new platform , pointed it too the Colecovision folder in the rom set
5. Set MAME as the emulator
Now when I look in the Colecovision rom folder its showing 220 roms but all that EB finds and sets up is just 57 of them , when I try to play any of those 57 I briefly get the mame screen and it says " Initializing " and then dumps back to the main EB screen
I have added a few screen shots of my settings etc , could someone please tell me what I am doing wrong ?
-
So the games have to go into the mame roms folder too ? I just added the roms like what was shown in the video and I left the files in there original location
So are you saying that if I download a spilt set that will include the bios I need ?

Thank for the links, I tried to follow the Colecovision video but got as far as adding the bios , I also have the latest merged 184b mame rom set but the colecovision folder does not contain any he bios rom
I then tried to download the bios from another site , but not exactly sure where I should be placing it ? I tried putting into the empty roms folder in my mame folder but none of the games work
Not sure if I have the right bios file and if I'm putting it in the right location
My head hurts now

Sorry to bother you again DOS76 but can you point me in the right direction for setting the standalone MAME to work in LB ? maybe a video tutorial ?
-
Thank you so much for all of your help , I really do apreciate it
-
OK forgot that , I had not downloaded the core via Retroarch Master system now working
So is it worth trying for the 5200 or is it a no go ?
-
Ok I did what you said with the 7800 and it now works a treat
thank you so much
-
Ok will do that , thank you
in the mean time I have added the Sega Master System , and that is doing exactly the same as the 7800 , I click on a game and I can hear the game start but the screen does not change , I can hear the game running but cannot see it
-
How do I do that ?
I am so sorry for what must be very silly questions
-
Sorry yes I ubderstand now , I had deleted them to try again the screenshots I showed where the ones that you get when you are adding a new platform , I was just showing the Retroarch setting right before it added the platform name on the left
-
Not quite sure what you mean , I thought I have added the platform and games to Launchbox ?
if its too much trouble I wont bother with them and just add the ones that do work without much bother
Is there a list of all the platforms that do work with no problems with Launchbox ?
-
So do you think I should be using MAME instead of MESS
I think I have attached what you asked for
-
Hi DOS76
I have just looked and the command is already .... command to -L "cores\prosystem_libretro.dll"
-
Hi , thank you so much for your reply
I have just been looking at some videos about MESS , and yes as you say it does look quite tricky to set up
My 7800 games run via Retroarch outside of Launchbox no problem , its when I try to play them through Launchbox I get the problem of I can her the game but not see it , I just get the normal screen showing all the games including the one I have selected
-
Hi everyone,
I'm new here and have downloaded launchbox and installed RetroArch, I went ahead and added Atari 2600 as my first platform
I added my roms and it went off and got the box art etc and it all worked fine , every game I tried played brilliantly
I then went ahead and added the Atari 5200 as my next platform, again I added the roms but I cannot get the games to play , I click on the game and nothing happens, I then tried the 7800 and that does the same
I will say although I cannot remember which system it was but either the 5200 or 7800 when a game was clicked I think I could here the game start ( I could here game music )
can anyone tell me what I might be doing wrong ?
Really having problems adding roms :(

Ok what I have just found out is if I add the roms (snes) and tell it to use snes9x as the emulator instead of RA all the games play and that's if I add 1 or 100 roms
So I must be missing a setting in RA somewhere
any clues anyone ?
