romruler Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 Quick (hopefully) question, I have the BeebEm emulator and roms. I have learned how to start BBC roms through the BeebEm (File, load disk 0, then press shift and F12) and the game will start. Is it possible to have LB autostart (handle the shift+F12) for me when I click on a game to launch it? If so, how can I do that? I appreciate any help.

spycat Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 For disk image formats (ssd, dsd etc.) clicking on a game in LaunchBox will by default auto-boot it in BeebEm. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

romruler Posted April 5, 2017 Author Share Posted April 5, 2017 Spycat, I just wanted to thank you for your help on getting the BBC Micro to launch in LB. I imported them and it worked perfectly. I still am lost on the other Acorn emulators, but oh well. Thank you for your time and help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wally Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 How can I exit Beebem (in the emulator it is Alt+F and then X) Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spycat Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 I use Alt+F4 It closes BeebEm whether opened inside or outside of LaunchBox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJF Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 I recently downloaded this emulator, and one of the games told me that the fire button is the "copy" button. I went to the help file that came with the emulator, which says copy is the "end" key on modern PCs, but whenever I press the end key, nothing happens, even though the game says that the copy button is the fire button in the game.

spycat Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 I don't ever remember having an issue with using the END key on my PC to simulate the BBC Micro's COPY key when using BeebEm. What game is causing you a problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stingeremui Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 I've just imported my games this evening and when I start through LB the emulator starts but game doesn't I'm using SSD disk roms. Tested with just the emu and all works fine. Are there any default command lines I'm missing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spycat Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 BeebEm doesn't use any command line parameters when set up in LaunchBox. Your posted image looks ok and I presume you have the Associated Platform set - if not you'd have had a prompt to do so. If your games launch directly with BeebEm but not via LaunchBox then it may be that LaunchBox is not aware of their location. Right click on any game in LaunchBox and open the Edit > Edit Metadata/Media option. Click on Launching and check that the ROM File path pointed to by LaunchBox matches the actual location of the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
