The file you've specified for the emulator application was not found.

Hi community.

As the title says!! this is the error i get when trying to boot a game in Launchbox?, And it seems it goes for all the different emulators i use to run Nes games (i using 6 different).

 

I think it occurred after i moved 2 roms to another folder from the game folder in Launchbox, And the by accident closed the Launchbox window immediately after (something got messed up).

 

The reason i'm not just importing the roms again, Is because they're set with different emulators (mostly retroarch), And we are talking a little over 3000 roms in total.

 

 

Cheers :)

And rolling back to a previous restore backup don't change anything (Apparently), Tried the backup that was created right before i closed the Launchbox window and backups from 10 days ago (No luck).

Also tried to roll windows back to a restore point made a week ago (Didn't think it would anyway, But who knows??)

Is it possible that the file you've set as the emulator is a file that doesn't exist?

Thank's for answering (At least), But no!!!

After i had an unexplainable occurrence where i lost over 400 nes files (They simply vanished into thin air) i'm more a control freak than ever. I have all the roms in my folders and all the emulators are also still present in their folders.And every single rom is in a rar archive due to schizophrenia  of losing them if they're i a raw format :)

1) Your rom files are all in RAR archives? I didn't think Retroarch supported RAR decompression.

2) Pick a game and right click and select EDIT. Does the filename and path listed there still match the actual location of the rom? If you edit that line and re-pick the rom, does it work now?

Thank's for trying to help, I got it fixed :)

Why the ?#¤%&%¤#¤%& have windows 10 changed the drive letter of my external hdd where Launchbox are installed??, I've personally chosen that letter myself to avoid conflicts with other drives.

Windows changed it to I: (But why?)

One of the things I've done on my system is I have Launchbox on my C drive SSD, but all my game roms are on external HDs. The change is I also mount the external drives onto the Launchbox Games folder. I have the convenience of a stock setup and file paths, but using external HDs no matter where they are mounted.

For Example: Drive E: is also mounted to LaunchBox/Games and F: SSD is mounted to Launchbox/Games/MAME. Works flawlessly.
