I have noticed in so many forum posts out there that no one seems to know how to get Nostalgia 5.0 to run or they simple can't get it to run through a front-End or .bat file. So here is the simple guide. Nostalgia requires the bios files "exec.bin" & "grom.bin" to play most games. The included "mini" version is virtually useless. Once you acquired the bios files they are placed in the root emulator folder with the emu's exe file. The command line "-L" is required to launch games through Launchbox or a .bat.

I figured out how to launch the games! You need -L in the command line.

I just kept everything the same name including the unique id. Same name for icon and made sure it was all the same under manage controller. Worst case I just wait for it to be added to LB on the dev side if my request gets apporved Will keep randomly playing with this and post here if I stumble on anything or find a mistake.

Yeah, I was just choosing that because you mentioned about it being empty before and I set the game to be partial as well. But other then that I am not sure what else to try. I tried it as category and name just to try. I just noticed there is a plugin folder inside the core folder as well as the root folder, which is the normal place I been using for plugins that work. So just double checking if the plugin folder I supposed to use is in the root LB folder still?

Ok I added the Microphone image to both nostalgic and legacy folders and nothing Awesome learning about the new badge folders! Thank you for that! You Just helped me figure out with these new locations the playlist icons and why my newest added playlist icon wasn't working! KUDOS! Recreating the plugin file just incase, But have one question.... which one do I choose? "Catagory" or "Name" in this spot? And if it should be something other than "Microphone"

I was using \images\Badges But I do see \images\Media Packs\Badges\Nostalgic Platform Badges I haven't messed with badges since way before creating a "Map" badge many many versions. I never knew about these new folders. Trying it in this folders now.......

Reading around the web only information on redit was people saying they lowered their sound khz in Windows to get it to stop crashing the games, but that did nothing for me.

Didn't work. It still doesn't show under the game. 😔 Version 13.25 What version bagan using the nostalgic folder? What was the point of it?

I am testing this emu, look super promising. But any game I launch either crash right away or crash after title screen. Anyone run across this issue on Win 11? Any ideas?

I originally had name and unique id as "Microphone" tried "mic" just incase the two names needed to be different. I redid everything with "microphone" as both names, created the folder "Nostalgic Platform Badges" as you showed, put the Microphone.png inside and it doesn't show as an option to add to the game. Do I still have to manually add under manage controller support? Was assuming the DLL would have made it show up.

Badge Microphone.dll Here it is. Also if I remove the manual addition I did before this app, then add the dll, enable the plugin badge, reboot LB. Under controller support Microphone doesn't show up.

So far I have not been able to get it to work. I compiled it like the instructions, put the Microphone.dll into the plugin folder, enabled the plug in under plugin badges, made sure its added as a controller supported in game, made sure the image was in the badge folder. And nothing.

Also I made a feature request. Once the request is approved this link will be available for up-votes for anyone interested for it to hopefully have it added in LB updates so others don't have to go through all this to manually add Mic controller support badge. https://feedback.launchbox.gg/p/microphone-controller-support-icon

So png like all the other badges is encoded different? 🤔 I did make a 60x60 png badge Also you have a link to his badge creator? Files under his profile doesn't seem to have anything like it.
