wraslor Posted August 9, 2015 Author Share Posted August 9, 2015 So I am trying to use retroarch for NES, I have it setup pointing at the retroarch exe and below is set to default emu using the nestopia dll. When I click play nothing happens. I can switch the emu to Jnes and it works fine. I can manually open retroarch and load games there fine. I'm stummped any ideas what I can look at?

SentaiBrad Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 What version of RA are you using? If an older version, download the new 1.2.2 and copy over your System folder for BIOS. All cores are downloaded from inside of the application now, actually, everything you want for RA is now downloaded from within. It's a lot easier to manage. See if that fixes it. The only other thing I can see that would be the problem is your application path settings. I don't have a terribly long path, but generally ./ is used for shorthand with paths, not .../. Even then, I am not sure LB uses them, so try putting in the full path. See if that makes a change if updating to 1.2.2 doesn't work.

wraslor Posted August 9, 2015 Author Share Posted August 9, 2015 Running the nightly build from today. I'll try the stable and see what happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wraslor Posted August 9, 2015 Author Share Posted August 9, 2015 Same result on 1.2.2 I click play and get the blue loading circle for a second and nothing. C:\emulators etroarch is the install dir. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SentaiBrad Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 You downloaded the Nestopia core from inside RA and you made sure that LB had that file path right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wraslor Posted August 9, 2015 Author Share Posted August 9, 2015 Deleted everything and started from scratch and now it works! Thanks for the help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SentaiBrad Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Yea, I think a setting or two was just off, hence why I asked you to grab the latest nightly. I just didn't know exactly what setting. I am glad I could help a little bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nmc Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 When you grab a new build or stable version make sure to create a backup copy of these files: retroarch.default.cfg retroarch-core-options.cfg retroarch.cfg Those are the files where your preferences are stored, so if something goes wrong you can always take one step back then driving backwards in circles.

Jason Carr Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Good to know, @nmc. That clears up some confusion for me, thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except for the most recent 1.2. I am not sure that all of the previous settings carry over. Some might reset because some of the options did change. Minor options, but still.
