Everything was working perfectly

MAME

NES

SNES

Sega Genesis

 

I purchased a premium license, and it seems since then everything has broke.  

If I go to retro arch I can launch everything perfectly fine, below are screen shots of relevant areas.

The emulation tab is the same on all platforms. I can assure you the paths are correct.

Are there any logs that can be reviewed? I did turn debug log on but it gives no info that is relevant to me in it. It is included.

You are getting this error which seems like a path issue:  

EXCEPTION: The given path's format is not supported.
   at System.Security.Permissions.FileIOPermission.EmulateFileIOPermissionChecks(String fullPath)

Also, your edit game window doesn't look quite right. I snapped mine below and I also use RA.  That should be a relative path in the ROM file listing (see yellow highlight) which should be two periods followed by path.   Your path starts off with the "Games" directory with no backslash or periods.  As a test, you might go to the browse button and browse to the SMC file and see if that test file works.

I thought path as well but verified multiple times that all my paths are correct. I changed "Nintendo Entertainment System" to "NES" to shorten the path as well. I agree with the relative path but the ..\ takes you back a level. Just tested and verified example my full path to my SNES games is as follows:

E:\Games\LaunchBox\Games\Super Nintendo Entertainment System

If I hit browse on the edit game window when there is no ..\ it goes to the correct location. When I try to launch a game it acts like it is going to load then nothing happens no errors or anything. 

When I add the../ to the front and try to launch the game I get an error "The ROM you've specified does not exist".

I have since figured out MAME and that is some of my ROM files are missing for some reason or another. So one issue down, just need to figure out the (S)NES games. 

More testing I have done. I have deleted all of the emulators from RA and reloaded them (no joy).

Verified I can launch all these games from RA directly no issues. 

So

-We know the paths are correct

-We know the roms are good

-We know the cores are good

 

One other note (Just tried) I added nestopia and snes9x as their own emulators and everything works fine when I run via stand-alone emulators as opposed to RA.

Then this is clearly still a path issue, either with your roms or your emulators. If they work through just the emulator then something is definitely wrong in Launchbox.

In your first post with images your SNES platform is called just that "SNES", but your associated platform tab for retroarch is "called Super Nintendo Entertainment System" so they dont match so snes wont work.

This was not and still is not a path issue, I know how to check my paths properly. However, neil9000 thank you for seeing the associated platform tab and the naming on it. That was the problem, I fixed that and everything works perfectly.

Two things told me it was not a path issue, first I checked and double checked everything with paths, secondly, if it was a path issue launchbox would have said rom not found or emulator path not found.  (I intentionally put invalid paths to ensure that there would be an error)

BTW I realize after reading my last post that the standalone emulator part sounded confusing, I meant I loaded nestopia and snes9x into Launchbox and ran stuff out of it with no issues. Up too late watching basketball. 

Once again thank you very much neil9000
