Geta211 Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 Hey all I’m having this issue where my games will not launch through Retroarch. While they work just fine in Retroarch launch box won’t launch them. I have 3 emulators configured through LB but it says I’m missing core files even though I have triple checked I am not. I’ve searched through numerous of these threads and can’t find a solution. Please help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When it is named correctly you should have a long list of platforms in the "Associated Platform" tab of your screenshot. Next to the platform names will be a dropdown, if you double click that you can pick the core from the menu. Also were you originally using a different emulator and have now wanted to switch to Retroarch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geta211 Posted May 21, 2019 Author Share Posted May 21, 2019 Okay so that’s how I thought it was supposed to be set up but I’m still missing the core files to my emulators. The files are in my directory so I’m at a loss still. Also sorry for the cellphone pics. My internet is really slow and it’s faster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should just need to go to Tools/Manage Emulators and double click Retroarch, then go to the associated platform tab. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geta211 Posted May 21, 2019 Author Share Posted May 21, 2019 I have closed and re opened it yes. Still missing cores for the games even though I know they are there. If I click on a game it says that the emulator specified doesn’t exist. It seems to be set up perfectly fine but it’s not working... any ideas?

Can you show me images of your Associated Platform tab for Retroarch and also, right click a game that should be using retroarch, go to edit, then the emulation tab and take a shot of that please, like this.

neil9000 Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 I dont know where that post went, but @Belgarath is correct your paths are different, good eye. EDIT: Hmm, maybe not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belgarath Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 No it's not different, he's spelt it the same in both, I accidentally compared your screenshot with his. When I realised I deleted the post 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geta211 Posted May 21, 2019 Author Share Posted May 21, 2019 Well since I spelled it the same in both it should be okay but I fixed the spelling anyway ?. Also here is what the emulator details look like for a game. It’s blank like it’s not configured. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah its not using Retroarch, like i anticipated, you either imported without a emulator attached, or you were using another emulator that you then deleted, so the games do not know to use retroarch. Click a platform on the left then on a game in that platform, use CTRL A to highlite all the games in that platform, right click one and choose edit, this will open the bulk edit wizard. Click next then in the first dropdown choose emulator, then in the second that appears Retroarch, finish out the wizard. You will need to do this for all systems you want to use retroacrh for.

Geta211 Posted May 21, 2019 Author Share Posted May 21, 2019 I just did that and then restarted launchbox but I am still missing all of my core files. I don’t know how to make them appear. They are already in my directory. So the games just don’t do anything when I click on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After deleting the cores and reinstalling them through retroarch and then restarting launchbox they launch flawlessly! Thanks so much for your support guys!
