Kaizo Mario

Hi There

I'm having issues launching Kaizo Mario in Launchbox.  I can launch the game fine outside of Launchbox with Retroarch using snes9x.  I did not set it up using the import function I manually added the game using the add game function and setup under the Windows platform so not sure if that matters.  Here are screenshots:

Your windows platform isnt in your associated platform tab (nor should it be usually, but you have a strange use case here). So you need to add it. Launchbox simply doesnt know what core to use, you told it to use Retroarch for that specific game, which is correct, but then you need to tell the emulator itself what core to use when a game is coming from the Windows platform, not the snes one like you show in your image.

Fantastic !! that did the trick.  I added Windows platform and pointed to the snes9x core in the associated platforms screen and it now launches. 

Thank you for the swift response.

Although, I may change platform that this game comes under as its a Rom Hack.  Is there a rom hack platform type platform or shall I just create it as a custom platform ?

There is nothing for that platform by default, but you can name platforms whatever you like, just type in the empty box rather than picking from the dropdown when importing.
