exp1orer Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 Hi all, I've been working on this issue independently and I've searched the forums, but I haven't found my specific issue. It seems like it would be an easy fix, but for the life of me I can't figure it out. I only have this issue with N64. Here is what I've tried so far.... I originally tried to setup N64 with RetroArch. I was continually getting the error and I gave up on it. I recently came back to it and saw a newer video posted by ETA Prime recommending Project64. So, I gave that a try. Still the same issue. I'm trying to load all of my roms from and external HD because my internal drive is not big enough. I thought that might be part of the issue, however, I'm playing roms from this drive on the other emulators. Next I noticed that ETA's rom for N64 were already unzipped, so, I unzipped them.... No Go... Next I went ahead and moved the N64 roms to the Games folder on the internal drive thinking surely this would fix it... NADA. I've tried selecting all of the games and then "Change Rom's folder path" and "Export/Copy rom files to new folder" from the tools menu. Here are a few tabs from my Project 64 edit screen... And here is the Platform.... Finally, I thought... I should just try to run it from the emulator. I opened the emulator selected choose ROM directory and BAM all of my roms populated and I can play them from there. I then went back and tried all of the steps I previously tried, but I still get the same error in Launchbox. What am I missing??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 Select all your N64 games in LB, then go to the Tools menu and Change ROMs Folder Path and point it the folder where your games are located. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exp1orer Posted July 24, 2019 Author Share Posted July 24, 2019 I've done this several times, but I'll go step by step on what I'm seeing. I select all games, choose tools/Change folder path. I see this and select the folder that I have verified the .N64 versions of the roms exist. It says please select the folder that now contains the 304 selected games... I hit OK and I get this... I select yes. Then I get this.... Here are the games in the folder at that location.... I select yes and I get this... Great. Now I try to load a game and I get... I don't get it. The only other odd thing that I've noticed is... when I select an individual game, it looks like it is looking for the .7z file... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 Try turning on "Extract ROM Archive" in the Edit Emulator window for your Project 64 entry in LB. If you already have that off i'm not sure what else to try other than removing your N64 games and re-importing them. You won't have to redownload any media so you can uncheck all of those to speed up the import process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exp1orer Posted July 24, 2019 Author Share Posted July 24, 2019 Extract Rom Archive did not help, but deleting and re-importing did work! I don't know why it was messed up to begin with, but thanks for your help!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 Yeah that was a weird one, the Change ROM Folder has always worked for me when I moved roms but I am glad the re-import work around worked for you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exp1orer Posted July 24, 2019 Author Share Posted July 24, 2019 Thanks for your help! Now I have to figure out how to keep my Project 64 controller settings from disappearing every time I exit and re-enter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
