Dreamcast won't play in Launchbox

Recommended Posts

I've downloaded and successfully run both ReDream and DEmul on my Windows 10 machine, however, LaunchBox won't interface with either of them. As you can see in the pictures I've attached (regarding my DEmul attempt, which I heard is the most stable), I've associated Sega Dreamcast with DEmul and have included the necessary "Default Command-Line Parameters" as described in the following video:

Despite all this, any time I try to open a Dreamcast game from within Launchbox/BigBox it doesn't even begin to launch. I've also uninstalled the Reicast core from RetroArch just to make sure it isn't seeing it and trying to use that (as Reicast via RetroArch only crashes). I've undone/redone the process and restarted the computer multiple times. Am I missing something? Note that I just paid for LaunchBox Premium yesterday; before that I've had zero issues. Does the premium version cause extra bugs or something?

Thanks to everyone in advance.

Did you originally import your games with another emulator? If so did you use Ctrl+A to select all games and switch to your new emulator, and no checking the default emulator box won't change what you already imported only anything else you import from that point on.

Also you do not need to have the command line -run=dc -image= in this tab since you also have it in the associated platform tab. Just an FYI. Especially if you are going to use Demul to run Atomiswave, Hikaru, or Naomi. Just have it in the associated platforms tab.

Yep, that did it! Thanks! I see you were on the right path as well, Monkus; thanks to you as well.

I can't take credit me Monkus and Neil discussed it in Discord and came up with that had to be the issues as your config was correct also thanks for including screen shots it helps us immensely when we have to try to troubleshoot issues. Glad you got it sorted.
