DerDominik Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Hi there, I tried to configure LaunchBox for using on my PC and RetroGames, but I can't get RetroArch started. I searched a little bit in the forum but found no solution. So what I did: I configured RetroArch as Emulator and Launchbox seems to recognize (Infobox is coming up). Core's will be found , but I'm wondering, that the extra parameter with -L is missing. But ok. Tried to start the game -> RetroArch won't be started. Created a batch file with the following command to see the parameter from LaunchBox to RetroArch: @echo off echo Command: %1 pause After normal start I see only the path to the ROM, but no parameter for the core. OK, so I added -L "cores\snes9x_libretro.dll" as standard command line parameter for testing, and started again the batch file. Here I see only: "Command: -L", but no more parameters. OK, little bit more testing. Command Line Parameter --log-file retroarch-log.txt -v -L "cores\snes9x_libretro.dll" gives -> "Command: --log-file" Command Line Parameter --log-fileretroarch-log.txt-v -L "cores\snes9x_libretro.dll" gives -> "Command: --log-fileretroarch-log.txt-v" So it seems, there is a problem with blank characters from LaunchBox to RetroArch (didn't test any other emulators". Is this a known failure and someone knows, how to fix this? I'm using LaunchBox on a Windows 10 System. Thanks in advance for your help :-) DerDominik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Sounds like you are severely overthinking it. Make sure your platform names in LB and the Associated Platforms of the Edit Emulator window match up, differences here will cause games not to load.

You just add it as a emulator and specify the core you want for a system in the associated platforms tab. Can you show some images of your manage emulator screen and the associated platform tab, both for retroarch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerDominik Posted July 18, 2019 Author Share Posted July 18, 2019 I think it looks all the same. So thats why I'm wondering Attached are my screenshots of both two screens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil9000 Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 What platform are you trying to load, and with which core? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Do your platform names match what is in your Associated Platforms ? Also do your roms folder structure have any accented characters in them at ? Windows has a problem with this when running stuff via command line.

Damn, there seems to be the failure :-( After Changing the categories name to "Super Nintendo Entertainment System" I can start the ROMs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lordmonkus Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 You can them anything you want but they have to match up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
