Awood Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 I watched a tutorial to help with this, but it's not working right. I loaded the Atari 2600 Roms into Launchbox and everything looks great. I have retroarch as the emulator and downloaded the 2600 core into it. However, when I click on a game the processing wheel spins for a second and then nothing happens.

Lordmonkus Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 Make sure that you have the correct core selected in the Associated Platforms tab in the Edit Emulator window in LB. Also make sure that the platform name in the Associated Platforms match the platform your 2600 games are imported into. That's my first guess without any more information.

Awood Posted August 5, 2019 Author Share Posted August 5, 2019 So upon further investigation I had the Vista version of retroarch installed. I deleted and installed the windows 10 version. So now I get a window that pops up, but it stays black and the sound I get is like choppy music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awood Posted August 6, 2019 Author Share Posted August 6, 2019 I'm guessing this is part of my issue. When I open retroarch I get the goofy thing on the bottom left where there should be text. The same thing happens when I try to load a game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. RetroLust Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 I updated to the latest version of retroarch a month ago I think, I did a fresh install also downloading the latest cores, but the a2600 core (stella I believe) wasn't working, so I took the old core from a backup and it worked again, so there might be something wrong with the new core.

It was busted at first, but is working fine now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awood Posted August 6, 2019 Author Share Posted August 6, 2019 So my issue seems to be with Retroarch. I'm new to this whole thing. My retroarch download is recent. When I try to load Atart games a black screen comes up and I get those boxes where text should be and nothing happens. When I load a Sega Genesis game the audio is choppy and video is slow. I have a different emmulator for Super Nintendo and it works fine. So, maybe something in the Audio/Video settings? I've checked to make sure my drivers are up to date.
