i cant launch mednafen psx hw libretro via LaunchBox

[InsideSmoke]

I cant seem to get PSX mednafen in Retroarch to launch through LaunchBox. i can launch PSX games through Retroarch outside of launchbox. 

In the edit emulator box in LaunchBox the assosiateeed platform and caore and default emulator all look fine.

i have been going round in circles with this for about 3 hours, now it time to reach out for help.

There's a pic of my edit emulator window.

Works fine here for me, does your platform name match the name in your Associated Platforms ?

[InsideSmoke]

Yes. i was running my Playstation games with epsxe before.

 

also i can still use Retroarch for Saturn with the mednafen.

Did you change the emulator your games use ? You have to select all your games in the platform and then edit (Control + E) with the bulk edit tool. Select emulator from the first dropdown menu and then select the emulator you want to use.

The "default emulator" checkbox is only for importing purposes.

[InsideSmoke]

yes ive did that. i have also removed epsxe from Launchbox. i even removed all my Playstation games and imported them back in and associated them with Retroarch again.

The core is working fine when i use it on Retroarch outside of LaunchBox and the Saturn Mednafen core is working through Launchbox. im outa moves

[Lordmonkus]

What files did you import ? Did you import the cue sheets and if you did that did you tell LB to move / copy the file or leave it where it is ?

[InsideSmoke]

i leave the files where they are when i import. i imported the full directory where i keep my .cue and .bin files. i know its not related to that cos they work with epsxe

Just now, InsideSmoke said:

Well just for clarification, just because a game works in ePSXe that doesn't mean it works with the Mednafen PSX cores in RA (or Mednafen).

You say your games are working in RA on its own outside of Launchbox so I will take your word on that so the above point has nothing to do with anything.

Right click a game and edit and then go to the emulator tab and get a screenshot for me please.

[Lordmonkus]

Well that isn't the screenshot I asked for, I asked for the emulation tab of that window but I see your problem though, you imported the .bin files, you need to import the .cue files which RA needs to load.

[InsideSmoke]

Sorry wrong tab

[Lordmonkus]

Check my last response, you imported the bin files, not the cue.

[InsideSmoke]

when i imported the files in Launchbox and it asks me if i would like to move the files i said no. does this mean both the cue and bin i am saying no to?

[Lordmonkus]

You only import the cue files, not bins.

[InsideSmoke]

all My LaunchBox game folders are empty. i keep all my games in a different location. the cues and bins are still trying to launch from the same location as each other. 

[Lordmonkus]

Doesn't matter where you store your games, you still have to import your cue files and leave them where they are with the bin files. Retroarch requires this.

[InsideSmoke]

when i right click on a game a select open game folder this is where it is launching from

[Lordmonkus]

You still need to import the cue files, RA won't work with loading the bin file which is what your screenshot above shows.

Until you change that it won't work.

got to the same screen you took an image of and switch the file extension from bin to cue and then see if the game works
