I'm using LB (MAME) on my Windows Desktop and also using it on my Android Phone and I notice that when I play on my Android device then I switch back to my Desktop LB that the controls are different. It unbinds my D-pad controls, Coin 1 and sometimes even my character controls. Any idea why this happens and how to fix it?

-Running MAME/mame2010_libretro_android.so core. -Using a MS One S controller via BT with a cell phone. 1.) Is there a way to configure a pause button on the controller or do I need to go into RA's "Quick Menu" via the on-screen overlay settings menu? I don't see a pause button in the "Port 1 Controls" 2.) Is there a way to pick another game without having to manually enter Androids recent applications to close RA?

Ya, I suppose that's what this is. I'm using a non-merged ROM set, but when I select only 1 MAME game and I let the export wizard run, when I check the "Android Export" folder after a minute or so I'll see 10 different ROM's in that folder. I shouldn't be seeing 10+ ROMs in that folder (which keeps growing) I don't think there'd be that many dependencies for 1 game and sometimes there won't be any dependencies at all I'd imagine. If you can think of a game that doesn't have any dependencies (I'm sure there's got to be many), we can run the wizard to test it out, but I fear by default even if you select a ROM without any dependencies, LB will still copy over every MAME ROM, which in my case would be 109 GB when all I wanted was to copy over 50 titles. On another note, I tested this export function on Sega titles by selecting 4 and just the 4 titles transfer, so this is definitely a MAME transfer issue which sucks ;(

I selected only 2 games to export as a test, but LB for Windows seems to be trying to export my entire media library. Why is this? Edit: Also tried Export My Whole Collection > Select Platform > Favorites Only -- This shows 1 selected game, but again, LB for Windows tries to copy over my library.

I see that it's $40 for a forever-updates Android license. Since It's an APK, do updates get pushed through to the Shield or do I have to download updates from the site?

Ok thanks. LB will for sure run on Android TV? Because I thought there were some differences between Android and Android TV.

Does anyone here use LB on the Shield? Does BigBox work as well? (I'm assuming they'd work on AndroidTV?) I haven't used either on my Shield but I have tried RESET Collection with an Xbox controller and I experienced terrible controller delay so I gave up....just wondering what other people's experience has been like.

Is it possible to load Big Box independently from LaunchBox? I assume it has it's own .exe file, or do I need to load it from inside LaunchBox? With the regular license or forever-updates license, I assume you can use all themes for LB/BB? Thanks

Ok a few things. Is there a way to tell if I used "auto MAME setup" ? I configured LB quite a few years ago and I don't remember what I did. Secondly, I did get the first method to work, but instead of DISPLAY1, It's DISPLAY2 for some reason. *shrugs* I don't understand this verbose mode command prompt thing. Not sure how to find my monitors that way. Thanks for the help.

It's MAME. I've looked through the options and unless I've missed it, I don't see a way to change monitors. All I found yesterday before I posted here was ALT+ENTER which will allow me to manually move the window to my 1440p monitor, then I have to resize from there, but that's a bit tedious to do every time if I'm playing several games in one sitting. Should I post the same question elsewhere perhaps?

I added a second monitor to my setup and whenever I load games from LaunchBox they load on my old 1080p monitor instead of my newer 1440p monitor. The 1440p monitor is set as my primary monitor in Windows, so I'd assume I need to change something in LaunchBox?

So, if the side-load version is superior to the Play Store version, where do I find the side-load version at and how much is it? Does it work on Android TV (Nvidia Shield)?

I don't know if I'm running PPSSPP as an admin? Also, I couldn't find ALT+F4 in PPSSPP as a means to close the emulator completely when I looked through the options yesterday. Maybe I just missed it when I was scan reading through the options. Since I run mostly standalone emulators, I find they can use different key presses or a sequence of key presses to exit the emulator entirely and I'd prefer to keep it all uniform and simply use ESC. Kega Fusion behaves strangely in LaunchBox for me and for others. When I'm done playing a game, I press ESC and by default this is either supposed to make the emulator full screen or shrink the window of the emulator. Since my game is already full screen, it will shrink the window, but you'll hear an annoying audio loop of whatever game music is currently playing for about 3 seconds. To avoid this you'd need to press SHIFT+TAB to power off the emulator then press ESC. I also find it strange how when I double click a game in LB or when I load a game from Kega then hit escape, it keeps the emulator window on the screen for 3 or so seconds until the game loads (being picky with this I know). I mostly want to avoid the audio loop that I mentioned -- if it were possible to map SHIFT+TAB+ESCAPE into one bind in that order.

Well, for me, not having this stuff in the command line parameters like "--escape-exit" involved a few extra steps in PPSSPP for me to get out of the emulator (involving the use of my mouse). It's nice to be able to press a single key like "ESC" to get back into the LB UI. That's how I want all my emulators to behave when I'm trying to exit them. Though, I doubt I'm gonna get that kinda cooperation from Kega Fusion without dealing with some kinda strange annoying behavior.

Cool, thanks for that! Does this work for every emulator in LB?
