It may be my gamepad, but not sure. It's a "Gamebound" brand that I got on Amazon. When I started configuring it, the A, B, Select & Start worked but when I clicked on Up and pushed up on the gamepad, it started going crazy. LOL I'll try it again tomorrow and maybe try buying a different gamepad if it doesn't work. Thanks for all your help!

I just downloaded puNES, unzipped it and ran the application file. I tried to configure my gamepad in it and it's not working right. Some of the gamepad buttons were registering and when I would click on the next to configure, it started scrolling through a bunch of messages like "no no no, ufff, i don't think, retry"

OK, I didn't realize that you have to double click, everything is working now! Thanks so much for your help.

I attached a screen shot of what I'm seeing when I go to Options>Input

I went into Nestopia and tried configuring the gamepad but it's not allowing me to. I didn't have a problem with it when I did it with SNES9x.

Thank you, the games are playing now! The only problem I'm having is that my gamepad isn't being recognized in Nestopia, it works in the SNES9x so I'll have to figure that out. I will defintely try the puNES since you recommend it.

Yes, it's named Nintendo Entertainment System. Here's the link to the YouTube video I followed....https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IO7X0_Cgkgc&index=1&list=LLqcrjzjSUVgVWHBKdHv2hiw&t=419s I used this video for the SNES 2 days ago and last night, I used it for the NES.

I attached the screen shots that you asked for and the roms are not in zip files, they have .nes after the file name.

Hi, I'm new to LaunchBox and had a question about using an NES emulator. I actually loaded my SNES ROMS in LaunchBox a couple days ago using a YouTube tutorial called "Super Nintendo Emulation For Beginners with SNES9X" by ETA Prime and have been playing them on the SNES9X emulator with no problems. I used this same tutorial and followed the steps to install an NES emulator called Nestopia and although all of my NES ROMS were loaded into LaunchBox, none of them play. Any idea as to why they won't play and what I could have did wrong? Thanks for any help! -Scott

OK, thanks. I may try RetroArchat some point and will use your guide. For now, I'm able to play a ton of SNES games by using LaunchBox and I'm happy. I have NES & Nintendo 64 ROMS too, so I'll get them setup soon. Thanks again!

Thanks for the info, I appreciate it. I setup LaunchBox with help from a guy named ETA Prime on YouTube and it wasn't very involved. He did a step by step guide on how to get SNES games loaded into LaunchBox, which I was able to do. As for the emulator, I think that I went and downloaded one to work in LaunchBox. You have to setup an emulator right? From what i read, I don't think that you can just load ROMS into LaunchBox w/o an emulator.

Hi, I'm new to LaunchBox and was able to get it installed and running SNES games on it with the help of a YouTube video. I had tried RetroArch in the past and it is way too much work and difficult to setup (for me at least) My question is will I need RetroArch if I'm using LaunchBox? From the tutorial that I followed on YouTube, I was able to setup an SNES emulator on LaunchBox so I don't know why I would need RetroArch. Thanks for any help! -Scott
