the only thing I found in BB was Keyboard Automation / show launchbox by clicking s. But this has no effect. Is this what you mean?

Yes of course I went to Edit/Media, that is the only way I could find out that the marquee wasn't listed, but you can't download it if it isn't listed with a checkbox. Apart from deleting and reimporting,how do I get it listed ? I have a suspicion that the marquee in question isn't tagged with a country version and it has to be specific for it to be listed. I just found changing N America to United States listed the marquee. So unless the version matches the media it looks like some things won't appear.

For example my version of Sengeki Striker for MAME had no marquee downloadable from LB, but it existed on the website database . The only way I could download it was to delete the game and reimport it and the marquee shows and is imported. But that means reassigning to playlists etc. So if not all media shows on LB as on the website databse, how can I refresh the game in LB to show all downloadable options?

When you're in BB and want to change the marquee etc you need to come out of BB and go to LB. There appears to be no quick shortcut for this unlike the opposite of CTRL B going straight from LB to BB. I'm making sure all my favs have great marquees on my 2nd monitor and going back and forth from BB to LB isn't as easy as it could be. Any help most appreciated even to confirm you can't do it.

@neil9000 thankyou so much. I'm feeling like a right idiot now. Usually my OCD gets me through these things but must be failing with age. I noticed that the spectrum did have the correct libretro spelling with an "R", so was thinking I'm going give the forum guys something else to think about. But I forced myself to be a little bit more observant and saw the default Sinclair Zx Spectrum command line "mess_libretro.dll" is being downloaded as "fuse_libretro.dll" , and so made the appropriate change... All is well, thankyou all for your help!

Thankyou @Retro808 but I did follow the tutorial meticulously. The difference is your screenshots are not what the tutorial is about. He avoids the Nintendo Game and Watch platform and creates a custom Game And Watch platform. That's exactly why I thought was creating the non-play problems. But as the standard Spectrum doesn't work either, it's obviously not this issue. Remember this works for me if I use retroarch with Genesis.

I tried zip and .mgw files for game and watch and still not working from LB. @Retro808 - do you get spectrum and genesis working using retroarch via LB ?

Atari 2600 works like Sega Genesis when changing to Retroarch, so obviously some platforms need to be looked at. Is there evidence Game and Watch and Spectrum worked in the past?

Yes, that's how I'm ale to go into Retroarch and actually load the game from there. What are your views on that step missing from Retroarch 1.6 that the video refers to in Retroarch 1.2 I mentioned in my 1st post. Then again Sega Genesis loads. It seems specific to certain platforms.

Is this anything to do with the fact "Game And Watch" is a custom platform...it isn't Nintendo Game And Watch or Handheld Electronics. Then again Sinclair ZX Spectrum is a standard platform name and that isn't loading either.

Ahh I change 1 game for Sega Genesis to be emulated by Retroarch and IT WORKS!!

no, I have just duplicated the retroarch to see if it was because it was on an external hd that it wasnt working. Either way it doesn't work for Game and Watch or Spectrum. I would actually prefer to use Kega Fusion for genesis, so is it necessary I change it?

Trying to change Kega Fusion to Retroarch in manage emulators box but keeps saying " an emulator already exists with that name youve specified. Please choose a different name"

I'm using Sega Genesis with Kega Fusion. Do you want me to try with Retroarch?

I just tried to use zx spectrum and it doesn't work via LB but does in retroarch directly Yes the naming is the same. "Game And Watch" Is the latest version of Retroarch not compatible maybe?
