Coleman Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 I am importing Turbo Grafx Roms for the first time into launch box. The import went ok, but now when i try to launch the games the launch is not responsive. I can access other functions in Launch Box like editing the config for the game, but the play/launch commands do nothing. I am using the current beta, but i dont think this is the problem as other games will launch fine - unless it has to do with a bug specific to importing a new system? Anyway - if i drop the .zip into RetroArch via drag an drop the game will launch fine. Just wont launch out of LaunchBox. Launching other games out using RetroArch run fine just not the Turbo Grafx games... Using the beetle core for RetroArch. Any Suggestions?

DOS76 Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 What is your platform named in LB and what is the platform named in the associated platform tab for Retroarch if you edit the emulator from Manage emulators. Do they match? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coleman Posted June 25, 2018 Author Share Posted June 25, 2018 So it seems that if i add a default command line parameter -L "cores\mednafen_pce_fast_libretro.dll" everything works... Except for all of my other platforms that use RetroArch. I tried to add it as an associated platform command line, but after i close the window it removes the text. If i add it as a default command line parameter then everything works... Your on to something Dos76! If i rename my platform: TurboGrafx-16 it works. When i name it NEC Turbo Grafx-16 which is how my file structure is setup it does not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOS76 Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 So did you get it working or not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coleman Posted June 25, 2018 Author Share Posted June 25, 2018 Yes - It works! Thanks! I don't understand why I cant add platform specific CL parameters, and I dont understand why i have to match the platform names, but it works following your advice. ?

Lordmonkus Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 Just now, Coleman said: I don't understand why I cant add platform specific CL parameters You should be able to, especially if you are using an older version, they are set in the Associated Platforms tab of the Edit Emulator window. The newer versions now have a dropdown menu where you select the core to load. 1 minute ago, Coleman said: I dont understand why i have to match the platform names Because this is how it works.

DOS76 Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 what version of LB are you using with 8.3 and maybe even 8.2 you don't type in the command line any longer for a specific platform you select if from a drop down menu. As to why you have to match the platform name its because it has to know what name to use if the associated platform has the wrong platform name when you are using your platform it won't associate them with each other hence the name platform association.

Coleman Posted June 25, 2018 Author Share Posted June 25, 2018 I am running 8.4 - beta 6 I can get to the associated platforms tab from multiple places. When i enter the command it looks correct, but when I click ok and go back to the associated platform tab my command is erased. Maybe a bug in the beta?

DOS76 Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 the drop down is to the left you have to click on it to get the drop down to show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOS76 Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 It looks like it is already using the command. That line is for specified configurations and stuff like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 Why is there "No Drop down - just ty..." in the extra command line parameters box ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coleman Posted June 25, 2018 Author Share Posted June 25, 2018 Typing in the -L command here will work without matching the platform names, but it tries to launch all platforms with this core now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DOS76 Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 yeah that is the global setting so if you set it there it applies to the whole emulator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coleman Posted June 25, 2018 Author Share Posted June 25, 2018 Its interesting - I can launch my rom with the wrong associated platform name if i add the CL to the global setting, but it seems that i cant add a -L command to the associated platform additional commands which i think would allow me to name the platform however i want and launch with a custom command line argument.
