I moved this post to the appropriate forum section.

Since you are on a fresh Windows install you most likely are missing some runtime libraries.

Does Retroarch work outside of Launchbox ?

it Launches but when i load a rom it errors out on this

[Lordmonkus]

That error message shows you are missing a required Visual C++ run time. I believe it's the 2015 Visual C runtimes if I a remember correctly.

it still crashes im grabing the latest retroarch what folder do you have your emus in

[Lordmonkus]

I have my emulators in a folder for emulators

/emulation
    /emulators
         /retroarch

Does Retroarch load any games for out outside of Launchbox ? Or does it crash on it's own as well ?

[vipermetcalf]

it did im going to try a clean setup on retroarch

 

[Lordmonkus]

If it's working outside of Launchbox then you most likely have a setting issue in LB itself.

Can you post a couple of screenshots ? One of your Edit Emulator window for Retroarch and one of the Associated Platforms window.

i figured it out i had to use the full path to the core under edit emulator

[Lordmonkus]

Weird, you shouldn't have to use the full path unless you have something really funky in your setup.

[vipermetcalf]

some arcade roms crash retroarch and some work i wonder if i got a bad set of roms

 

[Lordmonkus]

Might just be an incompatible set with the core being used ?

What game and core is crashing ?

[vipermetcalf]

Games\Arcade\pc_tbowl.zip-------mame_libretro.dll

[vipermetcalf]

its there a way to get mame emu working under launchbox

 

[Lordmonkus]

Of course there is, there are a whole pile of tutorial videos over on the Launchbox Youtube channel.

got it thanks for your help

It doesn't translate well, but Monkus posted a link to the Playlist. On the left of the video is a menu button that you can click to see more, or if you go to the page you can see them on the right. I did them originally then ETA took over.
