jamie1981uk Posted September 23, 2017 Posted September 23, 2017 I have Launchbox all setup and I was using 2 emulators through retroarch. one is Sega Genesis and the other is Nintendo 64. everything was working perfectly. I have not been on for a few days and I decided to put neogeo on. All the games were imported and I double clicked one and......nothing. If I right click and open with retroarch, retroarch just opens but no game. Thinking it was a issue with the neogeo I tried the N64 and Genesis and none of those work. All my other emulators work outside of retroarch through launcbox. No idea why its suddenly stopped working and ok, I could just use a emulator and scrap retroarch but surely something isn't right? On another issue. I can load a game through neoRAGEx but through launchbox, I double click a game and then the emulator loads and then I must click the game again. Not sure if that's how the emulator is or if I need retroarch (which sadly wont load through launchbox). Thanks for in advance for any advice. Jamie. Quote
neil9000 Posted September 23, 2017 Posted September 23, 2017 Welcome to the community. Have you set up a specific retroarch core for those systems? Have you moved your roms or emulator since you imported? Quote
jamie1981uk Posted September 23, 2017 Author Posted September 23, 2017 Thanks bud. I have not change a thing in retroarch. I tend to set things up and leave it. I have just updated it and copied all my cfg and what not but, still no go. I did update everything in retroarch itself. It's just funny that it was working and suddenly it's not. Like I said, I only have 2 emulators through it and I was going to do neogeo too. Quote
Lordmonkus Posted September 23, 2017 Posted September 23, 2017 For something to just stop working something had to have changed. If you can provide a screenshot of your "Edit Emulator" and "Associated Platforms" windows for Retroarch in Launchbox maybe we can see something wrong with it there. As for NeoRageX I am fairly certain that is just how it works but then again none of us around here use it to know if there is a workaround for it. Quote
neil9000 Posted September 23, 2017 Posted September 23, 2017 Yeah, gonna have to agree with @lordmonkus here, if it was working and now isn't then something must of changed somewhere, hence why i asked if you had moved anything and what core you are using in retroarch. The screen cap that @lordmonkus asked for could help tremendously if you don't mind. Thanks. Quote
jamie1981uk Posted September 23, 2017 Author Posted September 23, 2017 Those are my emulators (ignore some of them because I will probably get rid of them). The Default command lines. Quote
Lordmonkus Posted September 23, 2017 Posted September 23, 2017 Can we see this window ? Your associated platforms look good as long as you didn't change your actual platform names because they have to match up with the platform names in the associated platforms. Does your Retroarch work outside of Launchbox. Quote
neil9000 Posted September 23, 2017 Posted September 23, 2017 In your emulators you have Retroarch and another one called Sega Genesis which is using a different version of retroarch, which one are the Genesis roms using? Quote
Lordmonkus Posted September 23, 2017 Posted September 23, 2017 Yeah that could certainly be the cause of the Genesis stuff and I also notice you have a -c for a custom config for the N64, when you updated did you move or change the location of the config. I am not sure but I think if there actually isn't a config file that could cause a problem. I am not 100% certain of that though. Quote
DOS76 Posted September 23, 2017 Posted September 23, 2017 (edited) I think I remember that being correct a config command with no config will = failure Edited September 23, 2017 by DOS76 Quote
Lordmonkus Posted September 23, 2017 Posted September 23, 2017 With no core yeah it will but i'm not sure about an incorrect config using the -c. Quote
jamie1981uk Posted September 23, 2017 Author Posted September 23, 2017 (edited) No idea why I had a sega genesis and retroarch but I have deleted the sega genesis one considering I'm using retroarch. So now I only have that and I have also used the emulator application path and pointed to the updated retroarch. All my settings were copied over. If I load launch box and right click a game and open retroarch I can load a game from that. Edited September 23, 2017 by jamie1981uk Poor spelling Quote
Lordmonkus Posted September 23, 2017 Posted September 23, 2017 Did you change the emulator for your games ? Select all your Genesis games, right click and edit them and use the bulk edit tool to change the emulator to Retroarch. Quote
Lordmonkus Posted September 23, 2017 Posted September 23, 2017 Ok well I can tell you with certainty you have something messed up somewhere. Have a look at this mini tutorial I did for the NES and Retroarch with Launchbox, yes it's for the NES but all the same principals apply. Did you move your games or are they on an external drive and the drive letter changed or something ? Quote
jamie1981uk Posted September 23, 2017 Author Posted September 23, 2017 Just out of curiousity, if I just take retroarch off all together and start from scratch, what would I be losing? I know the cfg would need doing but it's worth a shot if it's not going to be a major pain. Quote

Or did you just check them? I checked them. It was just a fresh core I downloaded to try because the updated retroarch didn't have one downloaded for some reason. Quote
