Ehhhh... that makes it so you can't navigate the actual PPSSPP UI itself though (config changing, savestates, etc.). I wouldn't recommend using that. Controller Automation's close function

Wait do you mean all cores that support save states in RetroArch when you say all existing emulators if so then the answer is yes. If you mean other emulators like MAME or SuperModel then

Interestingly I had the exact same issue as the previous poster that seems to have resolved spontaneously. I'm not sure but the only thing I changed on my end was moving my roms from a mapped network drive (X:/roms/c64 which was located on my files server) to a new local 3tb hdd If only there was a way to skip the whole "loading tape" section...there's 5 minutes of my life i'm never getting back but this is an emulator issue. (Spectaculator - Speccy emulator - Can load .tap files without the whole loading thing for 5 minutes+ but sometimes I do miss that whining noise....)

Thanks, but what about disks like the d64 files? Update: Nevermind the tape command-line works for disks too. Thanks a million brother!!Smile

No probs Smile Yeah, forgot to mention that, sorry. I will edit the post. Also, @locvez, use the warp function to speed through the loading process.

I am using the command x64.exe -autostart-warp "Path to rom", it enabled warp in the options but it doesn't actually make it warp. if I run the program standalone it does. Should there be a space between the -autostart and the -warp ? or is there a command to force it to warp? Sorry :)

I don't use the -warp from the command line, but yes they would need to be a space. I just configured it in the program options, so it is default for every game.

Saboti said Hi, first, thank you for this great Launcher ! I Managed to get Demul for Sammy Atomiswave or Sega Naomi to work. Similar to N64 Emu you have to work with a batch File. Create it in the Same Folder as Demul. Atomiswave:
@echo off SET STRING=%1 SET STRING=%STRING:.zip=% SET STRING=%STRING:E:\LaunchBox\Games\Sammy Atomiswave\=% echo %STRING% start demul.exe -run=atomiswave -rom=%STRING%
Naomi:
@echo off SET STRING=%1 SET STRING=%STRING:.zip=% SET STRING=%STRING:E:\LaunchBox\Games\Sega Naomi\=% echo %STRING% start demul.exe -run=naomi -rom=%STRING%
Furthermore you have to adjust the Path in the Demul.ini Change the following Line according to your needs: roms0 = I have Installed Launchbox and Demul Emulator in E:\Launchbox\Emulators\Sega Atomiswave\demul-0.57\ My Roms are in E:\Launchbox\Games\Sammy Atomiswave\ So to set the Path Relative to the Games you have to insert: roms0 = ..\..\..\..\Games\Sega Naomi\ Hope it's understandable English is not my Primary Language :-) Greetings Saboti
The batch file works great but dont use the string -run=atomiswave -rom=%STRING% in command line for default emulator when importing Atomiswave games, as it will bring up the demul windows where you have to choose game. Instead use the string in the edit game under emulation tab check the Use custom command line box and enter -run=atomiswave -rom=%STRING% change the %STRING% to rom zip name (not game name) -run=atomiswave -rom=dolphin the zip name for Dolphin Blue game, do this for each game, now each individual game will open instead of demul game chooser window.

Hey all, I was wondering if anyone has looked at NEC PC-98 emulators? Currently I have Neko Project II running both .hdi and .fdi games, but I have to select them from menus in-emulator - I can't select a game in LaunchBox. I also can't find any commands for NP2, which would be a great help. However, I can auto-load a .hdi game by setting it to the default HDD1FILE in config, but I don't want to reconfigure my settings if I make a mistake doing this. Any suggestions to make this more convenient?

Hi KyaeroSaber the only thing i can suggest is to use something like AutoHotkey and AutoScriptWriter which could help in launching individual games with the emulator you use. Google both there are loads of tutorials in their use online.

nmc said These are my settings under "NullDC 1.0.4 r150 " The nulldc is a bit tricky, so first you have to make some changes in the configuration file " nullDC.cfg " ( open with notepad ) located in the emu main directory, change the following: Emulator.AutoStart=1 Emulator.NoConsole=1 AutoHideMenu=1 Fullscreen=1 PatchRegion=1 LoadDefaultImage=1 DefaultImage=defualt.gdi LastImage=I:\Sega Dreamcast\*.cdi In launchbox don´t use the emulator pannel, instead use the main one " Launcher ", in " Apllication Path " put the emulator location path : " c:\*.*\NullDC_Win32_Release.exe ", use this one not the " no trace " In the command line the extension look a bit messy but it works launching the hames individually, put: Ill put my one to give a start C:\Program Files (x86)\Emulator\NullDC 1.0.4 r150\NullDC_Win32_Release.exe -config ImageReader:DefaultImage="I:\Sega Dreamcast\daytonaUSA.cdi" Yes all that. Laugh nmc pew pew pew and out.....
Just so people know on this solution above for NullDC, once you put the exe path into the application path you do not need to add it again in the application command line. So you will only need the following in the command line: -config ImageReader:DefaultImage="full path to game.cdi" Saves a little time. I was using Makaron forever and then it just decided to keep asking for the date and time and refused to load games anymore. So I switched to NullDC tonight.

Trying to get Future Pinball tables to run from LB using the command line:
/open /play /exit
However from my understanding, the /play needs to come after the rompath to the table. For example:
/open "FULL\PATH\TO\ROM\FILE" /play /exit
How can I do this within LB?

Right now, officially, you can't. :/ But what you *can* do is create a batch file to do it properly. It's slightly complicated, but it can be done. You just have to use %1 variables and then you can reorder the parameters in the batch file. It's far from an ideal solution though because of the command prompt window that shows up. I do have a fix for these odd emulators somewhere on my list.

Could you also add a command line option for only romname? (instead of rompath/romname) Have been trying to get the model 2 emulator to work in LB, but it requires only the romname in the command line. I did try the script by bd000, which creates batch files for each model 2 game, but it's not working for me. edit: after posting, I tried the script again and figured it out. I copied the "EMULATOR.INI" from the emulator's folder, into the output folder (overwriting the one already there), and now the batch files work.

bd000 said I have created a script that will create a launch script for each game that can be easily added to LB. Download the zip file and extract it to your desktop (must be on your desktop for the script to work). Then run the script. You will be prompted to enter the romset directory, so open up the folder that contains your (using cps2 as an example) cps2 roms and copy the path from the address bar. Paste this path into the popup generated by the script. You will then be prompted to enter the path to the emulator. Repeat the above step only from your emulator directory. You need the full path for this one, that includes the .exe file. E.g. C:\Emulators\WinKawaks\WinKawaks.exe This script will then create a launch script for each game and put it in its own folder. The next part you need to do manually. Go to your ROM directory and you will see all the new folders. You need to rename each folder to the actual name of the game, not the short name. DO NOT rename the batch files inside them. So the folder named sfa2 (still using cps2 as example) you can rename to Street Fighter Alpha 2 but the .bat file inside that folder must remain sfa2.bat I know this is a tedious task, but it will save you time, trust me. . Now, open LB and go to ' Tools > Import Games > From ROM Files... ' Folder with ROM files to Import: - Point this to your CPS2 ROM directory (that contains all the new folders) Platform for imported ROMs: - Capcom Play System 2 (still using cps2 as example) File Filter: - *.bat (This is important, don't miss it) Emulator for imported ROMs: - ! LEAVE THIS BLANK ! you do not need to do this, the batch file handles this part. . Check the box - Don't import games with the same title... etc Uncheck the box - Search for and download game information... etc Uncheck the box - Search for and download images... etc Check the box - Look in subfolders as well Check the box - Use folder names instead of ROM file names for game titles. . Launch box will then add all the batch files as games and name them as their folder name. That's it your done. All your roms should be imported to LB with the correct names. This might seem complicated at first glance or too much work, but it is actually pretty straight forward, easy and much faster than adding every game individually. I have made it as easy and as automated as I could for you. Oh, you can delete the script.bat from you desktop now, you no longer need it. Unless you plan to use it with a different compatible emulator. Hope this helps someone. Script removed! See THIS post for the working script.
Can we use this to NeoGeo ROMs using NeoRage for example? Edit: sorry I was lazy, will try winkawaks

@sagaopc make sure your games are in zip form add games as you would add any game in Launchbox (one at a time) but you need a custom command line for each game. The command line is -run=atomiswave -rom=(name of rom zip) no brackets. See below image. atomiswave.jpg I use Demul 0.5.7. for Atomswave as find it less buggy than other builds. Set up controls settings outside of LaunchBox through Demul. Make sure you have a bat file with this inside of Demul folder:- @echo off SET STRING=%1 SET STRING=%STRING:.zip=% SET STRING=%STRING:E:\LaunchBox\Games\Sammy Atomiswave\=% echo %STRING% start demul.exe -run=atomiswave -rom=%STRING%

But I use a custom emulator directory and roms D:\Atomiswave\Emuladores\Atomiswave\Atomiswave.bat D:\Atomiswave\Roms\Demofist.zip I have to change the SET STRING=%STRING:E:\LaunchBox\Games\Sammy Atomiswave\=% to other comand?
