ghostarcade Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 (edited) Hi all. I've spent the past few hours trying to solve this but to no avail... I've set up RetroArch to run my Neo Geo games via Big Box. The setup went well and everything works fine except for when I try and launch a game. I get nothing. Instead, I have to open RetroArch and choose the core. The games work fine, it isn't a bios issue. I can load the games perfectly fine inside RetroArch but I always have to choose a Core beforehand ( I have FB alpha 2012 NeoGeo in my list). The minute I close down RetroArch and re-open, it has forgotten the Core. So i can't launch my games via Launchbox. I know I'm missing something that's glaringly obvious! Might this be an issue with my Default Command-Line Parameter? I currently have -L "cores\fbalpha2012_neogeo_libretro.dll" I run my games and emulators on a USB 3 SSD external drive (portable version of BigBox). Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Retro808 Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 (edited) Do you have Neo Geo listed in the Associated Platforms tab of Retroarch when you click tools/manage platforms in Launchbox. Also does the name that you gave your Neo Geo platform in LaunchBox exactly match the way it is listed in the associated platforms tab of Retroach in the manage platforms tool. I would recommend sharing pics of the Edit emulator screen showing the Emulator details tab and the Associated platforms tab. Easier to see if you are missing something.

ghostarcade Posted February 14, 2018 Author Share Posted February 14, 2018 (edited) After reading this thread, I noticed that I have the exact same issues. I'm going to re-install locally. If that fails, I'll just use MAME. Seems I'm not the only one who has came across the same problems.

You have a disconnect somewhere. Provide pics as suggested to trouble shoot better. I run all my Neo Geo games in RA with no issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retro808 Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 The default command line you set to the specific core you are using for each system. When you download a core in RA it will save the core file in the cores folder. If you look there you can get the name of the core. Simply use -L "cores/[enter the core name here]_libretro.dll" Also make sure how you have the system named in Launchbox matches how the system name is listed in the associated platforms field. Edit: Looks like Neil beat me to the punch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ghostarcade Posted February 15, 2018 Author Share Posted February 15, 2018 Thanks Asparky. This guide was different to the one I followed. I was following a guide for an older version of RetroArch / Launchbox. I've reinstalled and no need to scrape emulators or type in parameters. Much more straight-forward. Thanks for your help everyone! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
