tvguy Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 (edited) I have Turbografx, Nes, and Genesis working on my LG V40 with Launchbox using Retroarch. But I can't seem to get NeoGeo or SNES working. They extract games and load to a black screen. The neogeo.zip bios file is in the game directory for NeoGeo. Also, NeoGeo doesn't give me the option of using Neo.emu as an emulator which is kind of strange. SNES does the same as NeoGeo, files extract to a black screen and the game never loads. Which cores are you guys using for these two game systems? I've tried many different cores with the same result. Thanks for any help you can give me. **Edit, having the same problem with GBA games - they extract to a black screen** Edited September 10, 2019 by tvguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zane Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 I don't have NeoGeo setup but for SNES I use SNES9x_libertro_android.so core from Retro Arch and everything seems to be working fine. Probably obvious (But wasn't to me at first.) make sure each system has it's own folder or it'll try to use the wrong core. Other then that I'm not to sure.

Also what is your naming scheme for those systems? You use NeoGeo and SNES in your post, is that how your platforms are named? If so thats also likely the problem, you would need the default system names that Launchbox offers you when importing systems, Launchbox needs the correct name in order to know which emulator/cores to offer you to run the games.

Then why the heck am I getting a black screen on SNES, NeoGeo, and GBA when other games are working perfectly. I have the proper cores, everything exports to Android properly. SMH.

Lordmonkus Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 Maybe a shader is being loaded that is incompatibe with the video driver being used with those cores. That is a common cause of black screens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes things that should work properly just don't and that's one of the joys of computing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
