InsideSmoke Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 Works fine here for me, does your platform name match the name in your Associated Platforms ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InsideSmoke Posted July 29, 2018 Author Share Posted July 29, 2018 (edited) Yes. i was running my Playstation games with epsxe before. also i can still use Retroarch for Saturn with the mednafen.

Lordmonkus Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InsideSmoke Posted July 29, 2018 Author Share Posted July 29, 2018 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.

InsideSmoke Posted July 29, 2018 Author Share Posted July 29, 2018 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 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 ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InsideSmoke Posted July 29, 2018 Author Share Posted July 29, 2018 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 Just now, InsideSmoke said: i know its not related to that cos they work with epsxe 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lordmonkus Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 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 Posted July 29, 2018 Author Share Posted July 29, 2018 Sorry wrong tab Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 Check my last response, you imported the bin files, not the cue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InsideSmoke Posted July 29, 2018 Author Share Posted July 29, 2018 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 You only import the cue files, not bins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InsideSmoke Posted July 29, 2018 Author Share Posted July 29, 2018 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 Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InsideSmoke Posted July 29, 2018 Author Share Posted July 29, 2018 when i right click on a game a select open game folder this is where it is launching from Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOS76 Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
