Polpez Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 I have installed and setup LB using ETA Prime YouTube video. I am able to add SNES games, artwork etc. When I go to load a SNES game nothing happens. Games work fine using Retroarch on its own, but not through LB. Possibly a command line fault ??? Any advice hugely appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any advice hugely appreciated. Do you have your SNES platform name listed in the Associated Platform (the name needs to match exactly as you have SNES named in Launchbox) and the correct core chosen? If you are using the latest versions of LB you do not need to enter command lines. You just choose the core. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Polpez Posted February 14, 2020 Author Share Posted February 14, 2020 I have found options at bottom of tools menu. I have no "manage emulators" option? Please advise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C-Beats Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 Disregard "Options". Go to tools menu, 5th item from the top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polpez Posted February 14, 2020 Author Share Posted February 14, 2020 Thankyou. I am missing core files for all emulators. How do I correct this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Polpez Posted February 14, 2020 Author Share Posted February 14, 2020 I have core SNES9X 2010 already installed within Retroarch. What else can I do/ check? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polpez Posted February 14, 2020 Author Share Posted February 14, 2020 Many thanks for advice given. To remedy this issue I installed SNES 9X Current core and games now work. LB is now a beautiful & joyous experience - AWESOME! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fromlostdays Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 For future reference, launchbox defaults to specific cores for systems under the Associated Platforms tab. Usually, these are the best and most popular cores to use, but you can change them. It sounds like maybe you were using a different version of snes9x than the one Launchbox looks for by default. If you click the core under Associated Platforms, a drop down list will appear there so you can tell Launchbox what core you have installed (what to look for).
