RetroExecutioner Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 Hello, Can somebody tell me how i can use cheats on all systems games like NES, SNES, NEOGEO, MAME ETC? As an emulator i use Retroarch, i updated the cheats in the Retroarch settings but i don't know exactly how i can activate them for games/in the game. I am new on this, so if somebody with patience can help me with this i will appreciate a lot. I am using latest version of LaunchBox with Licence, so i will like to know also how can use the cheats also on BigBox if there is a way. Thank you in advance!

I think you bring up the quick menu in Retroarch and apply them there, although i have never used them myself, no need when you can just save whenever you like. This is a emulator feature however, and not a frontend one so Launchbox itself does not provide any cheats. I would just suggest searching youtube on how to use cheats with Retroarch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RetroExecutioner Posted December 15, 2019 Author Share Posted December 15, 2019 (edited) Is very complicated to use with Retroarch, so i decided to use LaunchBox with MAME, i imported all the games everything okay, i download the cheats, extract the zip file with the cheats put the file in the MAME root folder and when i pres TAB to see the option for CHEATS...NOTHING...i use LaunchBox 10.7 and MAME 0.216 AND ROMS. Do i need to use the cheats for the version of MAME i use? Edited December 15, 2019 by ExclusiveBox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RetroExecutioner Posted December 15, 2019 Author Share Posted December 15, 2019 (edited) Don't have "plugins.ini" in "ini" folder, only "examples" and "presets" There is not a way to show them when you press TAB? I found it here: Edited December 15, 2019 by ExclusiveBox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOS76 Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 if you don't have the ini then you can't turn them on and by turn them on you change 0 to 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RetroExecutioner Posted December 15, 2019 Author Share Posted December 15, 2019 Somebody know why i don't have video previews in BigBox?

Did you download any videos? Also in the theme you are using is it on a view that supports videos? Some views are image only depending on the theme.

RetroExecutioner Posted December 15, 2019 Author Share Posted December 15, 2019 I don't know because when i import the games at section EmuMovies, i put my account test it and i was log in, so i was thinking that automaticaly will download also the videos, there are other steps?

You have to scrape the game and when you do it will show you if there are any videos that will get downloaded along with images. Just adding your Emumovies account does not automatically do anything other than link your account to be able to download from Emumovies directly in Launchbox.

DOS76 Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 If you enabled it while importing then it should have downloaded them. Navigate to Launchbox\Videos\PlatformName that you imported and see if there are videos there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RetroExecutioner Posted December 15, 2019 Author Share Posted December 15, 2019 Yeah, is nothing there, only empty folders... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOS76 Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 Then go to Tools Download media and metadata and run that make sure in the emumovies section that the videos are checked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You dont say if you have actually paid for a emumovies premium account, all you say is you have a emumovies account. Have you in fact paid the subscription fee? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RetroExecutioner Posted December 18, 2019 Author Share Posted December 18, 2019 (edited) Yeah, now i have the videos, everything okay. Thank you, man. Now i would like to know if there is a way to manage somehow the roms, i mean to delete the roms/games that i don't want to have. I want to create my own collection, but i would like to see also what i delete, is there a way in LaunchBox?

RetroExecutioner Posted December 26, 2019 Author Share Posted December 26, 2019 So maybe there is not a easy way to delete them and i'm thinking to delete them directly from LaunchBox, when you delete from there it promt a message where is written that it delete permanetly, so what permanently means? Deletes from ONLY from LaunchBox or also from roms folder? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
