Awesome thanks for that @Ninja Danny B will give that a shot. I don't mind the pillar-boxing so much (kind of got used to it after playing so many old titles that didn't even know what widescreen was let alone ultrawide), better than big box slamming everything to the left of the monitor which is just weird looking

Not meaning to hijack the thread or anything but was just wondering what your solution was @Ninja Danny B as I am also running 21:9 and would very much be interested in a workaround until somebody is kind enough to make native 21:9 videos :). Thanks

I can't hate something I know nothing about If retroarch is your thing, thats awesome, it's just not mine, can't that be awesome too?

Truthfully i don't care what your preferences are, to each their own, but the comment, whichever way you look at it, did come across as a "Retroarch is great" post Which is fine btw (I can make no judgements on that because as I stated previously, I have never used it).

This, and thats just the hardware, if I recall correctly it also uses a super stripped down version of the .NET framework on the software side.

Have to say I kind of agree with you here, that did seem like an ultra defensive "gotta defend my brand" reply on some levels . As I said before, horses for courses to quote an old saying.

Horses for courses

Ok rewrite of post, managed to locate command line parameter for you: 3dnes --r=SMB.nes where SMB.nes is the location to the rom path. So basically after browsing for the emulator, place --r= and then the path to the rom file after it. Hope this helps

This is pretty much how I feel, in the early days of Retroarch in particular they were primarily focussed on ARM. Obviously that may have changed now (although I would imagine features are still limited to keep compatibility with ARM)

I personally use stand alone emulators for all systems, not that I have anything aginst retroarch, I just never actually bothered to teach myself it as my emus were all setup as I desire before that was even a valid option. Does look very good (certainly from a controller standpoint, having to setup your controller just the once sounds real nice). Guess it's one of those things, whatever is easiest for you personally and gets you the results you want is the ideal solution

I would highly recommend getting a bluetooth dongle, there relatively cheap these days and give you wireless awesomeness

Have you tried using SendInput as opposed to Send ? I Believe this might help you out: $Esc:: { SendInput{!F4} }

Good stuff, will likely not use this myself since I have a pretty nifty all round config (and only have a select few games for the system) that serves me well. Will keep this in mind in the future though when my collection grows

This is really good news, cheers for the share, looking forward to this one.

This was the wall I ran into with FB:A, it drove me nuts and I just ended up deciding to stick with MAME due to its simplicity in controller setup .

The reason the CHD's are not included is because of there file size, I mean that is over 350GB of data, not everyone wants to download that much It is for this reason that I decided against downloading the CHD's and will just accept that some games will not work.

THE CHD files are the hard-drive files themselves (so game data, not the game itself). Typically when importing a mame set, there are many versions of many of the games so the actual amount of individual games typically seems a lot lower than the number of files in a mame set. A lot of the mame games are unplayable without the corresponding CHD files. Hope this helps.

I have an intel cpu, but I'm always gonna root for the underdog, competition is good for us as consumers. Go Team Red

Hiya mame can be pretty frustrating in comparison to typical console emulators and the like. I would recommend you check out this thread (I used this myself and it came in very handy indeed, credit to the author) Hope this helps Best of luck

Hey peeps I had been having a little issue with the PS2 Emulator PCSX2, to keep it short you have maybe noticed that it seems to lose focus when launched through bigbox and it was quite frankly driving me nuts when I would start smashing the x button on my ps4 controller to get through opening scenes only to find that big box had then launched several instances of PCSX2. After a bit of fiddling I decided to tackle this issue with an Autohotkeyscript which has completely fixed the issue for me so I thought I would share it with you guys. Place this in the autohotscript tab for PCSX2 and you will no longer have this issue, with the added bonus of your PS4/Xbox Guide buttons for your controller exiting out of the emulator and re focussing either launchbox or bigbox. [SCRIPT START] Sleep 2000 ;Attempt to Focus PCSX2 window (Ive noticed that PCSX2 seems to lose focus) IfWinExist, PCSX2 WinActivate ; use the window found above ;This closes the active window when the ps4 button is pressed provided it is not ;the launchbox/bigbox window. ExitButton = vk07sc000 Loop { If (GetKeyState(ExitButton)) { WinGetActiveTitle, WindowTitle If (WindowTitle != "Launchbox Big Box"){ WinKill, %WindowTitle% IfWinExist Launchbox Big Box WinActivate else IfWinExist Launchbox Premium Winactivate } } } [SCRIPT END] Hope this helps some of you guys/gals out Have fun

Thanks so much for this, this had been driving me nuts for past couple of hours trying to figure it out, legend thank you

Sadly I have not been able to remedy this issue myself (been trying for a couple of days now). Sorry to post without an answer but came here hoping for a response to the very same problem. I'll let you know if I manage to figure it out.

Oh they did your right, apologies for double post then.

Just for reference, I found the tutorials by ETA Prime (https://www.youtube.com/user/Mretaprime) on youtube and of course the official/unofficial/superficial? Launchbox tutorials themselves ( ) to be invaluable during my initial setup.

Im having the same issue admittedly, clicking view video fullscreen just results in a blank black canvas, no video, audio or anything. (Using VLC), switching to WMP does indeed seem to fix the problem.
