Albiorix Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 Whats the correct way to import final burn alpha games in to launchbox to run with retroarch? i have the latest version of both pieces of software. i can open retroarch and launch most of the games i have using the fbneo core but when i go in to launch box and launch the games. the launchbox loading spash screen comes up then it just goes away and im looking at launchbox still. I'm assuming that i've imported the games wrong or didn't configure retroarch in launchbox correctly but im not sure how to configure it any other way.

Lordmonkus Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 The first thing i'd check is the emulator settings in LB and see if you have the extract roms box checked which you do not want for arcade roms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have checked and they are each still in the zip file, not extracted. Also i do no have that setting checked in the emulator settings in LB Edited April 2, 2021 by Albiorix more info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albiorix Posted April 2, 2021 Author Share Posted April 2, 2021 it works when i launch retroarch directly and not via LB, would that make a difference? i will try though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil9000 Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 You need to add the platform as well as the core it should use to the associated platform tab of your Retroarch emulator entry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can i see some images? One of the main edit emulator screen for Retroarch, then the Associated Platform screen showing your entry for this system, and then right click a game in that platform and choose edit, and can i see images of the "Launching" tab as well as the "Emulation" tab, thanks.

neil9000 Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 Also just to assure you, this system does work just fine, so its a configuration issue in Launchbox somewhere, hence the request for images, its much easier to spot issues that way than back and forth descriptions.

If you dont have that specific core downloaded, then nothing is ever gonna launch. Launchbox is telling Retroarch to load the game you chose, into the core you specified, if Retroarch does not see that core (which it wont of course if you dont have it in the cores folder), then the mouse cursor will just spin, and do nothing at all.

The error is telling you exactly what is wrong, your rom doesnt match what the emulator is expecting. This is why you dont download random arcade roms from the internet, the rom version must match the current version that the emulator is expecting, you cant use any rom with any version of a emulator, arcade is not the same as other systems. Also you do not know what type of rom that is, if it is from a split or merged set you will be missing the neogeo bios which is clearly not in your image, the game wont work without that, another reason downloading random arcade roms is a bad idea.
