PS Game not working in LB but is working in retroarch & ePSX

Hello, 
I tried Crash Bash in Retroarch and in ePSX emulator and works in both.  But within LB it will not launch.  I tried 2 ways... (1) linked to retroarch... (2) linked to ePSX

When i double click on CrashBash in LB, it says "now loading" and the CD Rom spins. about a second later it just quits. 

I only have this one PS game so far, but i did get it working in two other emulators. so just curious if there is a step im missing.  :)

Anyone know what i can do to get it working

-----my details----

AMD Radeon HD 6700 Series

Did you specify the Retroarch core you want to use in the associated platform tab for Retroarch? Also do you have the bios files? And thirdly in the associated platform tab is the name for the system EXACTLY as it is spelt in the left sidebar in Launchbox?

thanks for the reply. Hopefully i understand correctly.

In retroarch I do have crash bash set to correct core and I have the bios files.  I dont get the last question. 

** something new and odd just happened.  i tried a 2nd core in retroarch ("sony - beetle psx").  and it didnt work.  so in LB i went into edit emulators... i deselected sony playstation for retroarch.. and i selected sony playstaton for ePSX.  I closed out and relaunched LB and when i double click crash bash it 'still' tries to launch using retroarch beetle (it wont work) and beetle launches & shows minimized in taskbar. thats how i know its trying to use retroarch beetle core instead of ePSX like i selected. 

oddly, if i right click crash bash in LB, and choose launch in ePSX then it works good.  So im thinking that it may always work in ePSX but LB is not allowing me to set it to use ePSX as default event though i choose it in the emulation settings.  does this make sense?  (which is why i thought it wasnt working in ePSX earlier because it never tried. it kept trying retroarch regardless what emulater settings are set to).

i attached screenshots. hopefully not too confusing

I wanted to write and explain the attached images.  

I showed emulator settings for both ePSX and Retroarh.. and then the other screen shot is when i launch crash bash from within LB, retroarch (beetle core) still tries to open Crash Bash even though i dont have retroarch set as the emulator for crash bash.

If you change emulator for a platform you have to tell the games, that default checkbox is just for imports and as you already imported it wont change. Just right click the game and go to edit, select the emulator tab and use the dropdown to switch the emulator. As for retroarch you have selected the mednafen psx core, is that the on you are using? There are two, one standard and another called mednafen_psx_hw, so make sure you have the correct one selected
