Game not loading

[Shanaaz83]

I've installed LaunchBox and Big Box to play Super Nintendo Entertainment games. I have installed the Retroarch emulator and when I go to start the game, it looks to load but doesn't go anything further. Help!

You need to tell Launchbox which Retroarch core you want to use for each system, some have defaults but thats all they are and can be edited. Go to tools/manage emulators/Retroarch and click the "Associated Platforms" tab, this is where you tell Launchbox what to use, so find the snes entry and double click the current core and select the one you downloaded in Retroarch from the list. Its also worth mentioning that in this list the platform name must EXACTLY match what you called the platform when you imported it, so if you just called it "SNES" for example you would need to edit the name to that in this same window.

Also, the number one bit of advice i can give you is always get the games working in the emulator first, that helps us to troubleshoot, cause there is no point us troubleshooting Launchbox if the roms you have are bad and dont work.
