VoidTheWolf Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 Hi All, Just started using launchbox and big box instead of Hyperspin really like it so far great job by the devs Getting windows games and steam games to load up no problems started testing out capcom play system roms i have and im starting to have problems it was recommended to use WINkawaks emulator for them but after some reading decided to use retroarch. I tired 3 roms in retroarch only one successfully loaded under the capcom play system 1 core the other 2 just got "failed to load " , So i thought ok "those roms dont work lets add the working one to Launchbox and test it launching through launchbox" I add it and the emulator then when i select the game to play it has a windows load blue circle then nothing . only way to load the rom is to open retroarch load the core then load content ? I watched the tutorials for snes and retroarch and do the exact same thing but no luck what am i missing ? Also if i eventually get it to work will retroarch auto load its cores for multiple systems ? How to get Retroarch to autoload from Launchbox ? Any help guys would be great Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 Depending on the rom set you are using I would suggest using the the Final Burn Alpha core, the one that has no year in the name. It covers all the different systems that the stand alone FBA runs. If your rom set is an older set there may be some incompatibility and then the separated FBA cores with the year in the name may be more appropriate. The separated cores with the year are just slightly more tweaked for performance for use on lower end hardware like the RaspberryPi. Another thing to keep in mind is that depending on your rom set your CPS-2 roms may need updating. There was an update with those roms a little while back where there is a .key file requirement in the roms. You could also try out the Mame core, it will run pretty much the same rom set. If you are having problems getting the game to launch in Launchbox but they work in Retroarch outside on LB then you may have something incorrectly done in your Associated Platforms command line parameters window for Retroarch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
