DeekLoo Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 Hello, I was wondering how to set up the Sega model 2 emulator. I used the link launchbox provides and I used the default settings but When I click on a Game it will not launch the game. It only launches the emulator and I have to select the game from within the emulator. I checked the forums and there were no answers to my problem. Help would be much appreciated.

DeekLoo Posted March 6, 2020 Author Share Posted March 6, 2020 If this helps, this is my config file for the emulator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retro808 Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 Are you roms stored in the roms folder where the emulator is stored or elsewhere? If stored elsewhere you need to add that folder path to the EMULATOR.ini file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeekLoo Posted March 6, 2020 Author Share Posted March 6, 2020 I'm sorry, I misunderstood. I thought you meant the quote symbols "". I did remove the semicolon : but it didn't fix my problem. Here is a picture of my new INI. file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil9000 Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 Why does that rompath have Launchbox/Launchbox in it? Doesnt seem right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeekLoo Posted March 6, 2020 Author Share Posted March 6, 2020 When I initially installed launchbox I created a launchbox folder and extracted launchbox in it. creating Launchbox/Launchbox. I never tried to fix it because all of my other emulators launched perfectly fine. So, when I typed that in in the Ini. It was the correct path.

DeekLoo Posted March 6, 2020 Author Share Posted March 6, 2020 Is there some sort of Command line parameter I could try? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a pretty straight forward set-up. Do you game run directly in the emulator? That would not really be the issue, but just want to make sure. Here is my set-up and runs with no issue. Nothing additional added. Just made sure the emulator directory path was set. Set-up the emulator in LB and set the Associated Platform.

DeekLoo Posted March 6, 2020 Author Share Posted March 6, 2020 (edited) Yes, if I open the emulator and load the rom it runs. However if I select the game in launchbox it does not run. Edited March 6, 2020 by DeekLoo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the edit emulator screen you emulator path is showing a relative path. Can you edit the emulator path and reselect so it shows the full file path and then test again running a game?

DOS76 Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 if you have a modern CPU you should be using the other exe anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
