I recently added nulldc and some roms and made a mistake leaving the .rar files on it.. when I try deleting them they still present even after I deleted from the folder.., so I went and started the process of adding roms and the emulator but not I get an error that says the rom is not found even after I already redid the whole process again.. there are some roms that open a PCXR (playstation emulator.. this does not happened when I use the emulator without the frontend

Thanks for reading this post

Hi Knight, 

Let me see if I can give you a hand.

From my understanding of the above, you may have forgotten to delete the titles from within LaunchBox. Deleting files from within folders you have previously imported will not change the programs' internal games database. If that doesn't work, navigate to LaunchBox/Data/Platforms and delete the XML file for the impacted platform. (You will have to reimport your roms and etc, but it should solve the issue.)

The ROM import wizard allows for you to select which emulator the ROMs you are importing will use. If certain games are using PCXR and should be using nulldc, you have the option of either editing those entries through launchbox (select the entry and hit ctrl+e) and selecting the correct emulator, or simply going with the abovementioned option of removing the platform xml file and reimporting them with the correct emulator. As for the roms not being found error, I'm speculating that that would be an error message provided by your emulator as all LaunchBox does is start your emulator with command line options that you specify in your emulator settings, sends it the path to your ROM file and does not check whether emulators actually play files or not, hence the issue you are seeing is either:

a) Corrupt ROM files

b) Improperly formatted ROM files for the emulator you are using (some of them don't like certain types of compression / etc)

c) Incorrect command line parameters set in your emulator settings dialogue 

d) Actually Missing ROM files

e) Game compatibility issues with your emulator

 

So as to be able to help, can you provide a screenshot of the error message?

Thanks for your reply I'm actually have used emulators, frontends  and roms before so I understand it well, the issues is not importing the rom and connecting to the right emulator the issues is that launchbox does not clear their database I even cleared the registry just in case it was something there left, I would hate to try to delete launchbox and try installing everything over again
