No, the 1080p version does not load. Thats what the other info is about. It stops running here .

Hi, I just attempted to redo my Launchbox setup. I first setup atari 2600 and everything went well. But then I tried to add Xbox and for some reason it added in all my other systems (I imagine I accidently clicked on Launbox/gams instead of launchbox/games/xbox). Which was great. However, now i notice that I have about 189 folders in my c:\launchbox/games directory. I delete the empty ones and yet they come back. Is this an error or how it is suppose to be. I would rather not have 150 empty folders if I can help it.

I have Dragon's Lair 4k, SD, 60fps, all working. this occurs wether i run the batch file by itself or through launchbox. When i load 1080p from my arcade i get this in the cmd window C:\Windows>"C:\Games\Emulators\Hypseus-Singe\hypseus.exe" lair vldp -framefile mpeg2\lair1080p\lair.txt -blank_searches -min_seek_delay 1000 -seek_frames_per_ms 20 -bank 0 11111000 -bank 1 00110111 -noserversend -volume_vldp 64 -sound_buffer 960 -fastboot -fullscreen -bezel lair.png [version] Hypseus Singe: v2.11.3 [console] NOTE : Ignoring deprecated argument: -noserversend [console] Setting sound buffer size to 960 2024-11-10 18:59:46.100 INFO [15252] [reset_logfile@348] Version v2.11.3 2024-11-10 18:59:46.100 INFO [15252] [reset_logfile@352] Command line: C:\Games\Emulators\Hypseus-Singe\hypseus.exe lair vldp -framefile mpeg2\lair1080p\lair.txt -blank_searches -min_seek_delay 1000 -seek_frames_per_ms 20 -bank 0 11111000 -bank 1 00110111 -noserversend -volume_vldp 64 -sound_buffer 960 -fastboot -fullscreen -bezel lair.png 2024-11-10 18:59:46.100 INFO [15252] [reset_logfile@353] CPU : AuthenticAMD || Mem : 16192 megs 2024-11-10 18:59:46.100 INFO [15252] [reset_logfile@354] OS : Windows 10/11 || Video : NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 2024-11-10 18:59:46.101 INFO [15252] [reset_logfile@355] RGB2YUV Function: C 2024-11-10 18:59:46.101 INFO [15252] [reset_logfile@361] Line Blending Function: C 2024-11-10 18:59:46.101 INFO [15252] [reset_logfile@368] Audio Mixing Function: C 2024-11-10 18:59:47.693 INFO [15252] [CFG_Keys@240] Joystick HAT enabled on stick: [0] 2024-11-10 18:59:47.737 INFO [15252] [game::load_compressed_rom@941] Loading compressed ROM image dl_f2_u1.bin ... 8192 bytes read. 2024-11-10 18:59:47.738 INFO [15252] [game::load_compressed_rom@941] Loading compressed ROM image dl_f2_u2.bin ... 8192 bytes read. 2024-11-10 18:59:47.740 INFO [15252] [game::load_compressed_rom@941] Loading compressed ROM image dl_f2_u3.bin ... 8192 bytes read. 2024-11-10 18:59:47.741 INFO [15252] [game::load_compressed_rom@941] Loading compressed ROM image dl_f2_u4.bin ... 8192 bytes read. 2024-11-10 18:59:50.610 INFO [15252] [video::notify_stats@2220] Viewport Stats:|w:640x480|v:640x480|o:320x240[s]|l:2560x1440|o 2024-11-10 18:59:51.775 INFO [15252] [ldp_vldp::read_frame_conversions@1030] Framefile parse succeeded.

Best choice these days for Daphne is to change over to Hypseus Singe. It includes a lot of enhancements over daphne and plays all of Daphne games + more.

So just an update and maybe a better explanation of how i ended up using my nas with my arcades. The Equipment: I have a total of 1 arcade, 2 racing arcades, 3 pc machines, 2 NAS systems. The plan: I wanted to be able to load my arcade up to any of my devices and get the same experience. If I change it on one, it changes to all How I accomplished: I loaded all roms, updates, videos, manuals, emulator configurations from the NAS I install all emulators as portable and install them all into the same directories on each computer I created .bat files to automatically assign symbolic links to each of the emulators, Launchbox, Rocket Launcher on each computer. For instance, my mame ini files are located on my NAS drive, each computer has mame installed at c:\games\emulators\mame with a symbolic link between. I symbolic links so launchbox thinks my games are in c:\games\launchbox\games when they are really on NAs drive The biggest issue i faced was the images for the games. In my experience when i was running the images form the NAS, it made the system run VERY slowly to load. I ended up installing the images on my arcade and then using a backup program to send it to the other pcs. End Result: It goes in phases and not sure if this is an issue with my configuration or not but sometimes when exiting Mame, it freezes for about 30 seconds, then returns to Launchbox. I'm sure that the games load slower but it is not really noticeable.

LOL. So if you have hundreds of them they tend to take a hit. I had a lot. As far as symbolic links in my launchbox folder. i use a symbolic links so that i can play on any computer in my house with the same experiience. I have Roms, Manuals, Music, Videos on my nas drive. I have Images on my d drive I have all my configurations for all my emulators on my NAS drive I have the actual emulators on my C drive I can either go from my Arcade Machine, my racers, My personal Desktop, My laptop, my kids pc and load any game on any emulator i have installed and it will be set up all the same. There is 1 downfall, for instance if 2 people use the same emulator, sometimes it conflicts and has issues.

Hi i was wondering what the purpose of the core directory is. It seems like it duplicates everything. So there is a launchbox.exe, confiog files, etc. When you have launchbox open there is actually a symbolic lik that links to your data, images, etc folders. This seems redundant and something tht may be slowly down my pc. I also have configured symbolic links to those directories. So basically core is create a symbolic link to a symbolic link.

ok i figured it out. So my Mame section is called Arcade. So for some reason the auto generated lists are defaulted and do not change form looking for platform MAME instread of Arcade this equals zero games this equals 104 games

I also found that if i select to add playlist to platform, it does not show up in my platforms.

Tried to import a new rom set. I picked to not create the capcom, etc playlist but did choose to crete the 2player and genre playlists. The importer imported all my games and created the playlist. However all the playlists were empty. Anyone have the playlists for mame in somewhere around mame set 0.248? Also is this a bug?

yup that fixed it. not sure how it got named wrong

Not sure how wide spread this is, but i was just playing Goldeneye and noticed that the info panel on launchbox shows no achievements available, but there are and I got one.

Hi, Is there a way to login once to epic, amazon, origin, etc and have launchbox/big box remember my logins?

Using Mame 0.249 and Mame64.exe does not compute. they dropped mame64.exe about a year ago. It should be mame.exe . headrush is correct you need to delete those files, but i would also delete any cruisin file in the sta directory also. the analog settings definately make a difference. I have some wheels (original equipment) form a couple of racers, that i can not manually callibrate per game with out the analog settings. If you search google you maybe able to find the post i used that shows all the games analog settings.

thanks, sounds like i need to take this up wit them then. For historical purposes, i also found this topic which suggested using the arcade only version of mame to do a full set. located here

I am having this same exact problem. Except I am using just using a complete romset from PD. When i uncheck skip unplayable games (there are a lot of games that are playable in this list but not complete or has distortion), it gives me 10,000extra files. Now most of these files are not GAMES at all. My question is does the mame.exe itself label these other files as unplayable games or unplayable AND software titles? Is there anyway Jason could filter these files out as they are not games and should never be added anyway. or is this a mame.exe and we need to take this up with them? **Sorry i didn't read second page. I missed it.**

@faeran ok so my main question is, what dictates "games unplayable in MAME" or "non-arcade games"? I ask this because the 10,000 games came because i unchecked unplayable games. Why are things in this picture considered games? It should be liste don non-arcade games (unless non-arcade is the other systems)

Ok looking for some explanations as to what this screen means. I came up with this issue when trying to import my games. I skipped alot of different types of games and somehow came up with 400 more games as i had previously. However, then i realized I didn't have some of my favorite games. So i redid it hardly skipping naything, but then my game count was 11,000 more. Obviously these 11,000 was mainly junk that should have never even been though of being included. So what i desire is a thoughtful explanation of what type of game is included and see if we can get playlists created for each category.

hmmm the Mame team has been running straight for over 10+ years. Your problem is probably with your wheel and calibration. you need to be more descriptive of your issue. Does either load? If they load does the game play? Is this only based on your controls? here are my settings.

not sure if this is what you are really asking for. I would like this 1000x more if it enabled the bezel project on systems like rocket launcher does. Rocketlauncher allows bezels on almost all games, rather than relying on the emulator.

@dil @dillonm If you look back at page 2 you will see that i created a little script to do most of the work. it would work the same with the other gamebases. However if you look above this post. They created a little program.

Not as slow... I am using my games on a NAS, so I expect it to be slower. In fact I have everything on my nas except executable files for emulators(for the most part) and images. I think i fixed the problem by deleting the mame section in launchbox and importing again. Thanks for everyones help

For the past 4 months or so i have noticed a steep incline in the amount of time it takes to load a mame game. I first thought it was rocketlauncher. So i turned it off, but now I just tried to change all of the commands for mame in launchbox and it still takes 30 seconds or so to load. I created a shortcut using mame.exe "Path\To\Rom" and it loads within 12 seconds. I have also tried turning off high scores, startup, shutdown screens, pause screens, etc Any help?

I also have this issue. It takes 12 seconds to lad a game form a shortcut. It takes 45 to load the same game from Launchbox. I even tried deleting all of the extra commands it goes through. I don't know what is causing this issue and why is it not more widespread?
