PistolPeteATX Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 Hey guys, I have watched a ton of videos and read a bunch of you guys helping others with games that wouldn't play. Most of the time it was because they didn't have retroarch setup and tested first before hand. My retro arch is working good and games are playing well! I have imported all of my games to launch box (took 2 days) and I have my roms on a separate drive since there is just too many of them. When importing I followed the videos and left my videos to be pointed to on my separate drive from the C: drive where launchbox is located. I am pretty sure my emulator settings are correct but I am feeling pretty defeated here and would love some help from the pros! Where do we start? What should I try next?

Retro808 Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 Is it a particular platform or all platforms? If they work in RA and not LB then usually something in your LB setup is missing. Start by posting the following pics. Seeing things makes it easier to find the issue. Go to >Tools>Manage Emulators and edit Retroarch (post following pics): 1. Pick a platform not working and Post pic of "Details"tab and "Associated Platforms" tab. Right click a game from that same platform and edit. 1. Post pic of Metadata page, Launching page, and Emulation page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neil9000 Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 I dont see a picture for the Retroarch associated platform tab (its the second tab in your first image). Thats where you tell Launchbox which core to use for which platform, so you likely have the wrong core selected to what you actually downloaded.

neil9000 Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 Well it clearly says it is using nestopia, and that that core is missing. Which core are you trying to use? If you double click where it says nestopia that is a dropdown and will list all your downloaded Retroarch cores, just select the one you want to use from the list.

neil9000 Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 In fact all cores in that image say they are missing, have you actually downloaded any cores from within the Retroarch UI? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PistolPeteATX Posted September 9, 2020 Author Share Posted September 9, 2020 Yes all cores are downloaded in retroarch and the games play inside retroarch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember someone having a similar issue. Cores where in the RA folder, but LB did not see them. I have to see if I can find that thread. I do not remember what the issue ended up being. Any chance you have more than one Retroarch folder and are maybe pointing to one that does not have the cores downloaded? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PistolPeteATX Posted September 9, 2020 Author Share Posted September 9, 2020 I think during this whole mess of an install, i downloaded some cores in retroarch. before installing LB and some after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you donwloaded them would not matter. Can you test something. For SNES change the core option to something else. Does not matter what, does not even have to be a SNES core. Then click ok and close out the manage emulator screen. Go back into Manage Emulators and select the correct core for SNES and see if it finds the core.

BOOM!!!!! So lesson learned. When having emulator issues. open retroarch side by side with launch box. CLICK --->TOOLS---->MANAGE EMULATORS----> DOUBLE CLICK -----> RETROARCH CLICK ------> ASSOCIATED PLATFORMS THEN Go down the list of core names for each system you have and match the names as best as can be with how they are listed in retroarch. BUT..... I do not see "Arcade" or Mame in this list. Where can I adjust the emulator name for mame? I AM ALMOST THERE!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
