ColecoVision in LaunchBox

[Grimbone]

Hello,

I’m trying to set up ColecoVision in LaunchBox and have hit a roadblock.  Long story short is I am using the blueMSX core to run ColecoVison in Retroarch and it runs just fine. 

My problem is when I try to launch through LaunchBox it does not appear to work. 

Am I missing a Command-Line Parameter?  I tried using the following:

-l "cores\bluemsx_libretro.dll"       Again, It does not work

Would love to have ColecoVision working in LaunchBox (BigBox) so thanks in advance for any tips!

If it works directly in RA and not LB sounds like you do have something in LB incorrect or missing. Can you edit your Retroarch emulator in LB and share a couple pics. (Tools>Manage Emulators and edit RA).

1: Pic of the Details tab

2: Pic of Associated Platforms Tab

Hi Retro808,

Here are some screenshots. I tried both with and without the Command-Line parameter. I also add a pic showing it running in Retroarch.

You need the bios files from BlueMSX emulator and also databases (read the information for BlueMSX core)

Once you have them in the system folder of RetroArch it works fine.

They already said it works just fine in Retroarch, its Launchbox that they are having trouble with.

OK remove that command line completely, its not needed and is causing issues.

It works fine in Launchbox, I just tried it. (latest Launchbox)

Yes we know it works, but its not for him, hence us troubleshooting his Launchbox, and not just telling him "it works" and leaving it at that.

Hello all,

I have fixed the problem due to a silly mistake of pointing to wrong Retroarch folder.

Thanks for the help and apologies for the waste of time.
