SammyBoy2018 Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 (edited) Today after I used a new third party scraper under the name of Skraper (skraper.net) I found that I was unable to launch any of my ROMS from different platforms however I have a feeling it may be something to do with the XML files iin the data folder but I am not sure how this would affect all platforms because I only modified the FB Alpha folder, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Lordmonkus Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 You can try restoring your xml files from the backups folder. Anytime you use a 3rd party program you should make backups or test it out on a tester install of LB so if anything does go wrong it won't hurt.

SammyBoy2018 Posted July 18, 2018 Author Share Posted July 18, 2018 Thank you so much for the reply I did what you told me to do and I restored my backup XML file however it still refuses to boot any game and it's not just for FB Alpha even though that was the only platform I touched with the 3rd party program is there something obvious that I could be missing?

Lordmonkus Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Without knowing what sort of errors you are getting or if you are getting any at all check your rom paths, emulators, platform names and all the other usuals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SammyBoy2018 Posted July 18, 2018 Author Share Posted July 18, 2018 Should I add that all my Cores from RetroArch are missing well on LaunchBox only because on the actual RetroArch Application it is installed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 In the edit emulator window for an emulator check the Associated Platforms tab and make sure your platform names match there. Honestly, you used a 3rd party program that makes changes to the xml files, any number of things could have been changed or broken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
