AwesomeAmanda161 Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 Hello. I'm new here. Recently I downloaded LaunchBox to play Game Com games. I did everything it told me to download games. The problem is, whenever I go to play a game, it asks me to extract it. What did I do wrong? How can I fix this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckp Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 (edited) More information about what you have setup would probably be useful. As a total guess, maybe you setup some self extracting or ordinary zip file as the emulator in Launchbox?

AwesomeAmanda161 Posted January 6, 2018 Author Share Posted January 6, 2018 Sorry that this is a late response but let me try to explain what the problem is. I downloaded everything and did what DropBox asked me to except for one thing, I accidentally did select the box or something to extract all games I downloaded. So anyway, when I went to go play a game, it told me to extract it. Anyway, I was wondering what I could do to fix this and play games.

ckp Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 you should probably post screenshots of your Launchbox emulator setup, and for one of your games with right click edit game option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AwesomeAmanda161 Posted January 8, 2018 Author Share Posted January 8, 2018 Okay here are the screenshots. One of the edit and one of when I try to play the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 What emulator are you trying to use ? My first guess at this is you are pointing to a self extracting executable zip archive and it is trying to extract itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neil9000 Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Yeah that is a unextracted MAME.exe if ever i have seen one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Yeah you are definitely pointing to the self extracting zip installer, you need to setup Mame first. https://forums.launchbox-app.com/topic/33619-mame-tutorial-for-n00bs/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
