-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.

I followed the steps you provided, the games still dont launch.

2 issues with Demul, 1. With all the Dreamcast games i have, demul only runs Sega Bass fishing. Everytime I go to change a game in GDROM and hit Load Dreamcast, it continues to only load that game. Any idea why? 2. I tried adding Demul in Launchbox, checked No spaces box, put %l -run=dc -image=%r in the Default command line parameters, then Demul doesnt load the game when hitting a game through LB. The exact same problem as Yabuse for Saturn, it only pops up the application, doesnt run any game. I would go to retroarch, but time and time again Ive changed out the bios, tried different games and retroarch refuses to load either saturn or dreamcast, I feel lost Thanks for any help you might be, this has been pretty frustrating.

When running standard Mame itself everything works fine, but running it through launchbox produces an issue where I cant move the stick, I can only press buttons. Oddly enough this hasnt been an issue before, it worked fine through LB two weeks ago. Havent updated LB since either.

Gonna try replicating what you set up. Thaks for the reply.

When i launch a saturn game with yabuse LB only pulls up the emulator, no game. I found a 3 year old thread on here about it and everything I tried from it didnt work. the command a- i- just made the emulator full screen in LB, still no game loading. Im running Yabuse 0.9.15 Has anyone found a way to this fixed since the last thread? Any Help would be greatly appreciated. And also, for some reason, I couldnt get the saturn cores to work in RetroArch. Cant seem to get many systems working in retroarch. Probably just me.

I downloaded NullDC and played some of my ROMs with it and all worked just fine. I then imported NullDC to Launchbox and after I did that, i cant get the emulator to work. When I Launch a game now, it gets to the sega screen, and then it crashes. I get the " NullDC has stopped working" message. I have tried deleting and reinstalling the emulator and running it without launchbox, still the same problem oddly. Very frustrating! Im not sure if this is a launchbox issue, But i do know that I started getting these problems when i first imported it to LB.

Thank you! Made a huge difference in performance.
