strigoimare Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 Heya, Just curious to hear about your experiences with Launchbox and Retroarch emulation on OBS, post patch 23.0.2. I had streamed those before, and I didn't have a lot of issues. Now, I cannot capture game footage for streaming (or recording) at all, all I'm getting are black images with game sound. I'm running both Launchbox and OBS as Administrator, and nothing seems to work currently. What are your experiences lately? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If i had to guess i might say it is connected to the startup screens in Launchbox, have you tried disabling them to see if that is the cause?

It is a fair assumption, since OBS doesn't play nicely with overlays and the like. However, I'm not using them in my current setup. Pretty basic, just the playlist with images, then straight to the Retroarch core emulation. The weirdest thing is exactly that: neither Launchbox nor the emulation are being captures by any source. I tried other games, such as Path of Exile, and it worked fine, everything shows in the preview and in the recording. It's really baffling. (Launchbox and Retroarch are working just fine. I can start and play anything. It's just the OBS capture/streaming that's borked). Edited March 11, 2019 by strigoimare Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 I just did some playing around and it looks like OBS is having troubles with RA when just trying to capture that window. It will capture Mednafen perfectly fine but RA is just a black window. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strigoimare Posted March 11, 2019 Author Share Posted March 11, 2019 Thanks for double-checking. I hope they can patch it out soon! I've also posted in their forums about the issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strigoimare Posted March 11, 2019 Author Share Posted March 11, 2019 A question though, Lordmonkus: could you get Launchbox to be displayed in OBS somehow? All I get with Window Capture or Game capture for Launchbox.exe is darkness, as per the image below: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 I'll take a look and see, I should also point out I am using OBS Studio, not the old OBS. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 Ok, I just downloaded and installed the latest version of OBS and it's working just fine with Retroarch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strigoimare Posted March 11, 2019 Author Share Posted March 11, 2019 Yep, looks like it's one of those variable issues... Thanks a lot for the test. I'll see if I can fiddle a bit more it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 Yeah it seems like Streamlabs OBS is having issues with Retroarch but the standard OBS is fine here. Capturing the Launchbox window though does appear to be a problem, capturing BigBox is fine though. Using the standard OBS not Streamlabs OBS Studio. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strigoimare Posted March 12, 2019 Author Share Posted March 12, 2019 Now I've got a retro mouse trail in the Window Capture source, at least =D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
