  1. Also, it works fine if I press "Load decrypted rom" and actually select "mslug6.bin", I would just like to know if there's a way to skip this and have it start like a normal game.
  2. That doesn't seem to have been the issue, the games seem to work equally with/without that checked, so I'm not sure what else to try. Either way, here is what happens when I launch the Metal Slug 6 Naomi Conversion through Launchbox with the described settings (reminder that literally all of my other Naomi games work perfectly, so it may have to do with this being not in the existing games list or it being a .bin file (currently named "mslug6.bin")).
  3. So, I've been trying to troubleshoot this for a while now, but I just can't seem to get the Naomi Metal Slug 6 conversion to run properly in Launchbox. It runs fine when I launch it in Demul, although I do have to launch it via "Load decrypted rom", as it is a custom hack. The file itself is a ".bin" file, so I am not sure if this has anything to do with the problems I'm having. Here's my a screenshot of my default Naomi setup for Demul that I'm trying to run this conversion with (works perfectly for all normal Naomi games). When I run it with this setup, it just pops up with a demul window and the games list for Naomi. Any suggestions?
  4. Update: I actually got MAME fixed. It seems like the problem was that I told it to use my GPU, which I actually recall people saying was bad now that I think back since it apparently only uses CPU for processing. I changed it back to "Integrated Graphics" and MAME at least now works fine. Did the same with Demul and this mostly fixed performance, although it is still a bit more laggy than the other PC is by a noticeable margin..
  5. Since the topic is "best way to run Demul" I actually had a question since no matter what I can't seem to get games to run smoothly on my hi-end PC. I'm fine (for the most part) with using my current main (lower end) laptop, but I'm going to be getting myself a custom Multicade cabinet for launchbox and so I am wanting to use my higher end gaming laptop since I need my main laptop for daily use/school. My main PC (that I have been using for emulation up to now) has the following specs: OS: Windows 10 Pro (64-bit) Processor: Intel Core i7-4700MQ CPU @ 2.4GHz RAM: 16 GB GPU: Nvidia GeForce GT 740M and running DirectX 12 It generally runs games great, MAME works fine with absolutely no issues and many of the Demul games I play don't really have issues (even runs Dolphin Blue with no real issues). I copied my emulators to my high-end PC by simply taking the Launchbox, MAME and DEMUL folders and moving them over to my new PC. Launchbox/Bigbox works fine with no issues and everything else runs as expected for the most part. I changed over all the rom paths to reflect its new location and while the old PC ran great, my high-end PC runs games from Demul specifically like total garbage, and I have no idea why. Every game runs far under 60fps (runs more like if I do power saving mode on my other PC.., even on High Power) and have terrible lag and audio glitching. I was wondering if there are any special settings I could try to fix this. I've tried messing with the Nvidia control panel settings for Demul to no avail. Additionally, when I mess around in MAME interface, the entire computer bricks and needs a hard reset... The specs for this high-end PC are as follows: OS: Windows 10 Pro (64-bit) Processor: Intel Core i7-7700HQ CPU @ 2.8GHz RAM: 32GB GPU: GeForce GTX 1070 with Max-Q Design and DirectX 12 This thing is freaking VR-ready, runs DOOM maxed, and generally kicks ass, but I swear these emulators are kicking it to the curb at them moment...
  6. I know this is pretty much a dead post at this point, but I was actually just now wondering the same thing. I have a hell of a beefy computer with insane specs and a GTX 1070 video card, but for some reason I still get a lot of lag on games like Dolphin Blue (could just be the emulation being buggy?). I noticed some settings were blurred on the new plugin and was wondering the difference and if/when the old plugin would be useful.
  7. Glad my insight was useful! I'm still mega new to Launchbox/Bigbox, but I have been doing a lot of snooping on the menus.
  8. Sorry if I am not following this correctly, but are you suggesting make a folder for every game, and have all of the folders for games that do not have music link to the location of the normal background music and the ones that do have music keep unlinked so it plays the music within the folder, all while leaving background music technically disabled in the options? Please clear this up if I am mistaken, I hadn't heard of symlinks before you posted about it today and have only had a chance to skim the article you posted.
  9. To be honest, that'd probably be reason enough for me to pay the $30 to get the updates. I certainly hope, assuming it's not somehow already possible, that they add it in soon!
  10. I noticed there's an option in Big Box to "Prioritize Soundtrack Music over Video Audio", I just wish there was a "Prioritize Soundtrack Music over Background Music" option that would pause the background music and play the soundtrack audio for games that have it.
  11. There's an option to set the volume of the background music in the sound settings of Bigbox at the bottom.
  12. I am actually wondering the exact same thing myself. I have a ton of games on Big Box and really don't want to have to download music for ALL of the games, so it'd be great if there was a way to play music for only some games and have the rest be my generic background music.
