  1. I did check my ini folder and it was not there. Not to worry though because your batch file worked a treat. Thank you very much for that, much appreciated. Does it also work with MAMEUI64? I do not want to try it without asking in case it makes me computer explode or turn into a killer robot of some kind.
  2. I did this nearly two years ago and got it all to work. I have only now just updated to the latest MAME and tried to do this again but it will not create the mame.ini file. I just wanted to check if I am entering the command line correctly. This is what I am typing into command prompt: C:\Users\Dane\LaunchBox\Emulators\MAME\Mame64.exe -cc I am running command prompt as an administrator and made sure the folder MAME is in was not read only.
  3. Okay, so for some reason my NES games which use nestopia libretro do not display the annoying messages. Is there something in the individual config files that would mention a port number regarding the controller that I might be able to delete?
  4. Thank you for the recommendation. My controller said it was using the most up to date driver so unfortunately that was not the solution to my issue. I feel like I might just have to remove RA and install a fresh one. It has been so long since I used RA I forget, do I just keep my 'config' folder due to keep all my important platform settings such as my overlays and shaders etc? Or, can I just delete the 'retroarch.cfg' and 'retroarch.default.cfg' in the main folder to do fresh start? EDIT: Never mind, I tried deleting 'retroarch.cfg' and 'retroarch.default.cfg' and the same messages were occurring.
  5. Unfortunately that does nothing in this case. It is almost like these are separate from your "normal" notifications in RA. It is just a continual stream of that message over and over again, weird.
  6. Actually, my menu lacks that option in "settings > user interface". There is nothing for "menu widgets". I do have advanced settings turned on.
  7. Ahh, okay. I went to something like 'onscreen notifications' and turned the a widgets setting off there but I did not know about that one so will give that a go today. Thank you very much.
  8. @Lordmonkus Haha, I posted that after a long work day of having done manual labor and my mind was frazzled.
  9. I’ve not used LB at all for quite some time as I was renovating a house. I plugged everything in today and everything works as it should except I get an annoying message in the bottom right corner of RA about my controller. The controller is working just fine though. Turning off ‘on screen notifications’ does nothing. I did update RA and cores via the Stella updater and then RA wouldn’t work as it was missing some .dll files but I sorted that out easily so I’m not sure if the update had anything to do with this. Thanks in advance. I have tried my controller in every USB port which results in the controller working but the message still occurring.
  10. Oh, actually, from memory I think I used the default theme and then just changed all the backgrounds manually to Viking’s Nostalgia one’s.
  11. I am using Viking's Nostalgia theme.
  12. On arcade machines and ROM sets whilst you have been playing other games and doing other things humans do like eating sandwiches.
  13. I think that will work well. I suppose everyone has different ideas and there is no one correct way to do it. I used to only want to use an arcade panel, and did for many years, but now I cannot imagine going back to anything other than a controller (Hori FC4). I think the six buttons will still allow you to play 99% of what is out there and those extra buttons for miscellaneous will make it so you do not have to pull out a keyboard every time you want to navigate your front end etc.
  14. If it were I I’d go with an eight button layout like one of the following: Especially because you’re wanting to play the later systems. Then you’ll be set for pretty much anything. If the panel were big enough I’d have extra buttons for P1-Coin, P2-Coin, P1-Start, P2-Start, Enter, Exit, Pause etc. so that’s 23 buttons right there. Good idea for the USB ports to connect controllers so you have that option.
  15. Quite a generic reply which I guess you’d expect from most companies these days. You never know though, it only takes one thing or idea to get something going.
  16. Sometimes companies listen, so hopefully this is one of those times. If they do I’ll be buying my very last controller ever.
  17. I was just curious is all as it is a good looking shader. Have you played this shmup before?:
  18. Is that just the crt-geom shader you have on the top two?
  19. I guess we are all different, my eyes see DoDonPachi Dai-Ou-Jou in that category. I do think Battle Garegga is amazing besides the hard to see bullets, even though I know it was intentionally done. I just sometimes it is The Beetles of the shmup world where people love to praise it a little more than it deserves. Maybe I should not have used that Beetles analogy because that can evoke Beetles-rage depending who you talk to, haha.
  20. Hi all, I was wanting to make some 3D boxes for the SEGA Mega Drive that are not in the database. I was watching this tutorial and cannot find a blank template for the Mega Drive / Genesis. Would anyone happen to know where I may obtain one so I can contribute some art to the database? I should mention too that I only want the blank 3D template with no shadowing or spine as I have front covers and spines to add. I know you can get lots of stuff here but they do not seem to have the nice tang tab ones common with the EmuMovies and LaunchBox database. Thank you.
  21. I looked at that list and had never seen the number one game, Ketsui: Kizuna Jigoku Tachi. There is something about a lot of those post-2000s shmups such as DoDonPachi Dai-Ou-Jou being the third game on the list where they just look too polished. They look too shiny and modern for me and despite whatever potential amazing gameplay, they may harbour my eyes just cannot get past the visuals which I do not like. I much prefer the more grittiness of regular DonPachi and DoDonPachi. Also, not surprising to see Battle Garegga at the number two spot as was previously discussed here how everyone seems to be a little obsessed over it. I will go through that list more because there is bound to be a few titles I have missed over the years.
  22. Paying money for games? What is this strange notion you speak of? Like an amnesia sufferer, I am having flashbacks of a time where I exchanged money for games. Seriously though, that looks pretty cool. I had never heard of it before.
  23. I gave Eliminator Down a good proper try for the first time tonight on the Mega Drive, it sure is a difficult game. Though there are definitely some interesting enemy patterns and level changes.
