Oh, i just now saw your other reply about how the romsets/cores will have games that dont work. Does that have anything to do with the controls not working or do you mean the game wont launch at all?

Works great. I have one more question if you dont mind! most cores run all games EXCEPT the games like Marvel super heros, MVC, etc. There are two cores that do run those games ( 2016 and standard mame core ) but, I cant insert coin. On all cores I can insert coin and play them like galaga Etc but not fighting games. Do you have any clue why? In RA theres no way to change arcade controls for any mame core \so i cant just simply fix it myself, and these are my favorite games that i dont have controls on, Ive also pressed every button.

Usually when I feel like being full of detail and complexities the answer is right in front of me..Face palm. Thanks so much. 😃

Which core would you suggest? Ive tried Mame and Mame2016 so far.. figured all of the cores would do the same.

Not sure what it could be. For 2 years ive went on and off switching emulator cores to RA for arcade and everytime i attempt to do it i always get this as the same result. The games still run through RA but not RA running through LB

Not through launchbox I dont. the extract rom archives before running box isnt checked under the edit emulator tab. Is there a way to check that through retroarch?

I have posted a screen cap of the core im trying to run. I have changed my arcade games to run through RA instead of mame in launchbox by hitting Control+A under bulk edit and did that first before adding the core under Associated platforms. In RA by itself i can get games to run under this core but when plugging it in to launchbox the game wont even try to start or load. Am i naming something wrong? I thought the defualt name was "arcade" and assume my core is named properly.

-Id like to apologize in advance. this is a retro arch question. I have found that this forum is much friendlier and knowledgeable and would greatly appreciate your help with this issue- I bought a XB1 Controller today wanting to have a wireless controller for my emulation. When I bluetooth my controller directly to my PC everything is fine and retroarch works, i can navigate the menus and play the games. Problem is i have to be within 6 inchs of my desktop for there to be zero lag, outside of that its awful. I bought the xb1 wireless adapter from gamestop for 25 bucks thinking I could go farther out with my controller in my room, and so far i can with other emulators/PC games.. but retroarch doesnt work with my controller when that adapter is plugged in and paired to my controller that way. Retroarch DOES recognize the controller ( yellow text bottom left saying XB1 controller hooked up to PORT 0) but the buttons dont work, and when i go into retroarch i cannot navigate the menus. Id really appreciate your help, this is a little frustrating :(

Me too. What a relief. Now time I spend forever getting the saturn to work.. then my saturday duties are complete lol Thank you very much for your help @neil9000 @DOS76!!

Deleted my roms folder. went into my trash folder, regained my zips of the games I deleted. Extracted each zip into its seperate folder, instead of what i originally did, which was extract all games into one folder. Problem was, was winrar asked me to overwrite files with the same name, I hit yes to all, since all zips has the same name track 1 2 and 3. Once I extracted all games into their own folders, everything works perfectly, and winrar didnt prompt me to overwrite files with the same content names. Silly me.

I have them sorted by size. I extracted all the zipped games at once and i am now noticing that its all GDI 1 kb files on top and on the bottom is about 50 files that are Bin files, not as many bin files as there is GDI files. Interesting... Gonna make a new folder, regain the zips for the games and re extract them one at a time and see if thats where the error lies...

Yup, put it on my C drive, still same issue. Oddly enough theres nothing standing out about SBF than the rest of the games..

Just did. Selected Sonic Adventure 2 and went straight to Sega bass fishing. So odd. Hopefully Emutalk can help. I put you as a referral when signing up

Alright. Will do. Thanks for your time.

Here's all my plugins being used. Adding the - did the trick and got the games to load ( Thank you ) But still, Demul is only loading Sega bass fishing.
