lilkuz2005 Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 hello all, i have a weird issue with launchbox. I am trying to setup Nestopia with my nes rom collection but in launchbox when i double click a game, the emulator opens but nothing happens after that, i have to go through the nestopia menu to launch a rom, can anyone tell me how to get the emulator to auto launch the selected rom in launchbox?

Lordmonkus Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 I assume you are using the stand alone which I don't use myself but there is probably a command line parameter to use for it. I use Retroarch with the Nestopia core. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use Retroarch with the Nestopia core. im about to just setup retroarch with all the emulators i have that will work with it and just remove all the stand alone emulators Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You most likely either have your associated platforms set incorrectly for the emulator or you haven't changed the emulator for your games which you need to do with the bulk edit tool because Nestopia works perfectly fine with Launchbox.

omlifecrew Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 I have this same issue as described. I am able to open games outside of Launchbox but but error loading in Launchbox. I have my associated platform set to Nintendo Entertainment System and the correct emulator selected "Nestopia". It in fact loads nestopia and then the error occurs, File not found!

CDBlue Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 Not related to the issue you're having, but I thought I'd bring to your attention in case you were not aware, but there are much better NES emulators out there when compared to Nestopia (as far as functionality and accuracy). The top two that come to mind are puNES (https://forums.nesdev.com/viewtopic.php?t=6928) and Mesen (https://www.mesen.ca for stand-alone or https://docs.libretro.com/library/mesen/ for info on the retroarch/libretro core)... with Mesen being my suggestion to go with for NES emulation. I believe puNES does not have a retroarch core, but Mesen does. Both of these do have stand-alone emulators though, if that's what you prefer. Anyway, I figured I'd bring this to your attention, as you might want to switch to a more accurate emulator and try and get that working rather than continuing to try to get Nestopia working (which again is not a bad emulator, there are just better ones out there now) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also i would agree with @CDBlue and use a different one if i was you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gage420smoking Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 so after fiddling around within launchbox, I have found our solution for nestopia to work. go to the launchbox menu >tools>manage emulators, double click the nestopia line and on that window make sure "Extract ROM archives before running" is checked. click ok then close and you're ready to run nes games on nestopia from launchbox or bigbox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
