and with those retro... this box is done! thanks again for the assist and for teaching me to fish

thanks retro, whenever i can help others, i do i'm going thru all my platforms, if it's not too much trouble, might i ask for a few more? i would really like to send you something for your time... here are the "blanks" I still have... "Texas Instruments Ti 99/4A" "Obscure Consoles" - category i have to put some of those one off consoles into "CHD Required" - category for arcades that, yes, require CHD's Anyways, no rush if you can help, and if you can't, i thank you for what you have sent me, your skills are fantastic

tell me how to get you funds, happily buy you some pints! wow that was so quick and they are perfect.

omg thank you so much!!! your google-fu is strong!

retrogirl to my rescue! thank you so much!!

weird, a few quits and restarts, i'm back to 7 second start ups. thanks retro for being a sounding board.

hi all, hoping someone can point me in the right direction? i swear i've lost IQ points on this build... using the default big box, and i have some custom platform names without images, text only. might anyone with design skills be able to help a brother? happy to buy you a few pints i'm looking for: Light Gun (as a category and a platform) Nintendo Wii Light Gun Nintendo Wii U eShop Sony PSP minis WoW Action Max Any help is appreciated!

ok, weirdness, it started working again... it takes a 30-40 seconds to boot up (mini pc) but at least it's working thanks for the feedback retro!

thanks for the reply! no custom theme, i cant even get into BB to select a theme. nor do I have this folder: views/launchbox_theme_folder/fonts/ i created those folders, dropped the font in there, still nothing... will LB update itself if i do a reinstall or, will it overwrite everything that i've done so far

any thoughts folks? this is just about the last thing i need to get up and running before calling this project done

haven’t even used big box yet on this build. and yup, that is the setting i have in LB. i’ve tried holding, delayed button presses, nada.

i see the BB flash, the voice over, then hangs on black screen. any thoughts? 2025-08-12 06:27:23 PM FIRST CHANCE EXCEPTION: Cannot locate resource 'views/launchbox_theme_folder/fonts/redhatdisplay-black.ttf'. at MS.Internal.AppModel.ResourcePart.GetStreamCore(FileMode mode, FileAccess access) 2025-08-12 06:27:23 PM Music.Pause Start 2025-08-12 06:27:23 PM Navigation Manager loading new view 2025-08-12 06:27:23 PM Navigation manager changing views.

i've tried everything I could find. anyone have a script i could plug in that will exit xenia with back + start on a controller? thanks

using NEStopia core, mouse is WAY to fast to shoot any ducks anyone know how to slow it down?

trying to get this one working with a commandline so that the lightgun games start up with P1 as a lightgun (mouse). any thoughts all? thanks so much!

i'm just an idiot i was NOT saving game remap files. i am now and all is golden! but these instructions are fantastic. i'm saving a sni it of your directions into my RA folder, no more doing this user error. thank you again so very much!

thing is, i KNEW that. i've set up RA many times. each time, i'm learning to ride a bike again anyways, thank you for your time and just listening

oh god i wish! controlled folders, great guess! i moved my RA to the D drive, the log started saving! i will walk you thru what it is ai am doing: set emulator to RA, core is either genesis_plus_gx_libretro OR gearsystem_libretrro, as far as i can tell, the only two that will allow a mouse as a light gun load up the rom "wanted" quick menu > controls > port 1 controls (have also tried port 2) > device type: light phaser (or whatever it is called in the other core) can now return to game and the mouse works, as expected go back into quick menu > overrides > save game override (active override file now says "wanted") exit restart wanted mouse no longer works. go back into quikc menu, control 1 is now set to a control pad pull hair our, curse at screen rinse and repeat I am editing my own post and leaving the above in case anyone else has issues. GIANT user error, i was saving the game config, NOT the controller REMAP. seems to be working now... i swear im smarter than this thanks for listening and offering advice!

thanks for the suggestion, will give it a try. something is buggy though. i am setting up mouse in flycast games that use lightguns. i have RA in a window and a side window open to where the flycast configs save. i was able to save one game config. i followed the same exact process for another light gun game and it would not save. my workaround was to copy the cfg file for the one game that did save and save a copy for each of the lightgun games. ill report back once i try your suggestion. and thank you for your time :)

can anyone help? ive watched so many tutorials, i've followed all directions to the T, per game configs just. dont. save. i'm pulling my hair out! this is so frustrating!

with your help my friend! and i did try a fresh download and guess what? it STILL wouldn’t work as i needed. you are the man with gold ini’s thank you again!

thank you man! it worked! not sure what was wrong with my ini but it must have been corrupted somehow, i copied all your text into my file, didn't work. i used your file and it worked. thanks again my friend!

i have spent HOURS, removing all saved configs, quick menu, set controls, save game config, load the game, settings not saved, tried 'overrides', tried saving per game 'remap', none of it saves, sweet baby Jesus! i'm pulling my hair out!

if your willing to keep trying, so am I and yes, i have a mouse / keyboard but trying to set this up for a friend so it can be run completely in BB mode, controller only. here are the requested files my friend! Supermodel.log Supermodel.ini SupermodelRAW.log

the light gun games, mouse no longer moves the cursor, lost world, ocean hunter, la machineguns, etc. they only see my mouse in rawinput. anyways, i think it's a roadblock i cant seem to get over. but i do thank your time!
