Can someone please help me with this. Vaguely remember going through this issue years ago on my old PC, and pretty sure it involved changing the "box front priorities" I have tried moving "box front" to the top of that list & "gameplay screenshot" right below it. Tried it with the gameplay screenshot checked & unchecked, as well as trying the same thing in the "screenshot priority" list. No matter which of the many combinations I tried it will do either 1 of 3 things: 1.Keep showing 2 of the same gameplay screenshot images for each game 2.Show 2 of the same front box art images instead 3.Show no images at all This is part of LB settings that is really more complicated that it needs to be IMO & I'd appreciate any help. Be nice to just have a simple "Check which images you want shown"

Hello I've been using Xbox One controller for most emulation for a long time, never had too many issues. I finally got my PS4 controller connected to Windows 11, and planned to use it as controller 2 for all my emulation. So far MAME doesn't seem to recognize it at all when I go in the player 2 menu, nothing I press on it to map is detected. I tried Sega Genesis on Retroarch & when I fire up RA, the window does pop up that it recognizes "wireless controller" yet it seems it doesn't work at all in games. Anyone know what I'm possibly doing wrong? So far I've only tried using my arcade fightstick with MAME as controller 2 & it was recognized immediately. Never had any problems with that. Now why WIndows shows the PS4 controller is connected as "wireless controller" but it doesn't appear to work, I don't get what the deal is Thanks in advance for any advice

Thanks, I followed those settings & was so frustrated that it was still auto centering at first, but I discovered it I set the analog Y & X device settings to "none" it actually worked Apparently I have to go into every individual light gun game & adjust everything which is pretty tedious, but glad I've finally made progress. One thing still tricky to me is the difference between the "analog sensitivity" & "increment speed" / "decrement speed" controls & how to tweak these both to have the smoothest experience. Just kind of playing around with both for now, but wish I had a detailed explanantion or guide for those

Yea, run as administrator was already unchecked for TP & the games. Still does it. And I know it doesn't save settings, but I don't see why it shouldn't have that option. Pretty stupid IMO that you can't add a certain program to a list to stop getting that message & the only option being to remove warnings for everything

I'm using an Xbox One controller, analog sticks for light gun games, but when I let go of the stick instead of the crosshair staying where it is it automatically moves back to the center of the screen No matter what advice I've read on this, I can never stop this from happening so figure I might as well ask on here

I went the importing the XML files route, but each time I click on a game to play the Windows User Account Control pops up & makes me press yes to "Do you want this program Teknoparrot to make changes to you computer?" (DURRRRR I said yes, but go ahead & ask me again every time the rest of my life I guess) Aside from that, as if TP games don't already take a while to load, there is always another 15-30 seconds or so added when using them in LB that you wait before TP loading screens even show up I mean the games do play, but is their a cleaner, less annoying way to implement TP in LB?

Yea I mentioned I recently added Singe & Daphne both. I originally planned to switch to Singe altogether, but I couldn't find one shred of info online about how to set up Daphne games in it. Only Hypseus 2 games which is what I wound up using it for

Yea I've had the m2v & ogg in there the whole time. I even tried renaming them to "roadblaster.m2v" & "roadblaster.ogg" instead of "rb" along with the corresponding text in the game's batch file, but it still did nothing. I never get an error message, the game starts but with no sound. But it does have sound when I use Daphneloader instead of Launchbox, So that tells me I have the correct files, I'd think

Well, 4 out of 5 are now working, thanks! I tried renaming the Dragon's Lair file & that worked, the rest were a matter of having Daphneloader open at the same time as LB like you said. Woulda never guessed that Roadblaster still has no sound when ran from Launchbox though. Cannot figure that out

EDIT: Thanks to a quick response below, 4 out of the 5 games I originally posted about work, but Roadblaster has no sound. Only happens when opened in Launchbox, otherwise the sound is present in Daphneloader The past week or so I have been dealing with the massive headache that is getting laserdisc emulation set up (Both Hypseus Singe & Daphne) & I'm now down [UPDATE: to one single issue] :down to pretty much 5 issues left: -Dragon's Lair 1, Dragon's Lair 2, Space Ace & Thayer's Quest all run fine in Daphneloader, but give me errors trying to play them in Launchbox. -Roadblaster has no sound when opened from Launchbox, but does from Daphneloader I ran into the thread on here about Daphne issues & copied the daphnebatch.bat file shared there into the daphne directory like advised & followed the rom/emulation setup in LB. All other games work except those (But I did have to rename galaxyr.txt to galaxy.txt & rb.txt to roadblaster.txt as I also saw mentioned on here to get those to run at all. Like I said, no sound on Roadblaster though Attached is some of the error messages. I really don't understand how it can say rom files requiring games to run are missing considering I have no issue playing them in Daphneloader itself Appreciate any help

The old roms I had from a few years ago using MAME in LB wouldn't work so I just figured out how to run the CDI in Retroarch Some of the control settings for these games are super cumbersome, but I can't seem to get them mapped the way I want in Retroarch's settings & I don't see any option for a pause button either. I mainly wanted to play this version of Tetris, but unlike any other consoles I've played, the down button doesn't drop the tiles, one of the gamepad's buttons do. Throws me off WAY & not only that, I have an Xbox One controller I'm using & it seems to map most, if not all of these games main action button to the X instead of the A or B & that further makes gameplay so awkward I know this is an obscure system, but has anybody successfully custom configed the controls for this? I would like to set Tetris exclusively to use the down on the D-Pad to drop tiles as well, but do not see an option to set controls by game like it is done in MAME. Would appreciate any advice, it's also been a while since I used Retroarch at all, so sure my memory needs refreshing on certain things [EDIT]Some more issues:for one game it kept telling me "Press button 1 to start, yet no buttons on my control did anything except return to the menu where it would repeat that prompt infinitely. Another game, 10 seconds after I began trying to play it gave me some "disc is dirty, please clean & reinsert" message. HOW is that even possible?!

Hey thanks so much for this! This method appears to work & is alot less time consuming!

Hello, I recently updated my laptop & have got into TeknoParrot. I followed 2 different tutorials I saw on Youtube on how to get it working in LB & with both all that happens when clicking a game to play is it just opens the TeknoParrot UI itself. One involved adding all .XML files in the profile folder as the roms one by one & the other mentioned creating a text file with the game's name & adding that as the rom along with command line paramaters. Neither resulted in loading the actual game Any help would be appreciated

Thanks alot & so sorry for such a late reply...Alot of crazy life stuff happening lately, I've been spending virtually no time on emulation or video games in general...Will def try this soon & let you know how it goes!

Don't think I've tried the pause menu in Launchbox, how do you bring that up? Worth a shot it I can figure out I guess, but still don't understand why RetroArch keeps screwing things up for me, be nice to have the controls I set stay permanently once & for all
