P1R4NH4C0N Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 Ok, I'm new. I love all the features for launchbox so I bought the premium launchbox. I'm having an issue that I can't figure out. I've searched all over the net and found similar issues but none of the solutions work. Here it is : I go to play a game and it doesn't play. Launchbox will minimize and start the emulator but it won't start the game. I can load the game manually and all is well and working. It did this when I had retroarch installed and now it's doing it with Kega fusion. All the games and all the systems are doing this. Sega CD games load the emulator and play the cd-rom screen for Kega. 32x games load the emulator but it just displays the Sega start up screen. Same with game gear, loads the emulator but not the game. I iterate, all the games work flawlessly outside of launchbox with Kega fusion. Even when launchbox loads the emulator I can rt click inside Kega and manually load the rom and it works. I don't know what's happening here, all the files and bios are in the right place. I know it's something simple that's causing this but I can't figure it out. Please help. I included pics of the emulator settings in launchbox.

Lordmonkus Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 Your command line parameters are completely wrong and you have boxes checked that shouldn't be checked in the emulator details tab. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P1R4NH4C0N Posted June 16, 2017 Author Share Posted June 16, 2017 Ok that worked, thank you. In my defense, that's how multiple tutorials had it set up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P1R4NH4C0N Posted June 16, 2017 Author Share Posted June 16, 2017 Now I can move past this and focus on figuring out paths for game manuals and getting them recognized for batch imports. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 Which tutorials ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P1R4NH4C0N Posted June 16, 2017 Author Share Posted June 16, 2017 I watched one that I used to set it all up. It gave me the -auto -fullscreen information. It stated that if I didn't put those where I did that it wouldn't work. I found another tutorial that had the %file in the command so I added that to get to get it to work. I couldn't find those first two tutorials cause I've been at this over a week trying to figure it out. But I have this link, which gave me the individual console command lines Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 Ahh ok. Some of those command line parameters may work but the %file one really threw me off, usually it has a second % so its %file% and that part is handled automatically by Launchbox already. I'm glad what I told you to do works for you though. I have Fusion setup and working but I don't use it since I use Retroarch with the GenesisGX which for me is the better way to emulate all those systems minus the 32X because it doesn't emulate that at all. For the 32X I use Retroarchs Pico core which gets the job done. All you would probably need is to uncheck all those boxes in the emulator details window and in the associated platforms command line remove the %file.

Stella does not support zip, so you need to either unzip them, or check the box on your second screenshot to "Extract Rom Archives Before Running" that will however be for all games you run in Retroarch.

Aafneto Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 the only way i find to solve... its changing the core to stella2014.. or change emulator to stella 6.0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Laor Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 (edited) Actually, you can also add Another emulator entry (same emu-retroarch / diff title- retroa-stella) and point to the same exe. Then with this entry check off extract roms Edited May 4, 2019 by Mr.Laor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then with this entry check off extract roms even if the roms is already extracted?!? because.. what i see.. is the CORE STELLA.. isnt runnig?!
