ospideyo Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 I am having the same issue on Windows 11. Exact same error saying either corrupted files or it maybe in use. Well it isn’t in use since it won’t install. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cleverest Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 So the .7z doesn't fully extract manually with 7zip or WinRAR...it does appear to be all DLL's that have issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Carr Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 Currently building a new beta/setup that should hopefully fix the issue. Stay tuned. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you able to run RetroArch manually? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slider6996 Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 (edited) I can right click on ps1 game and go to open retro arch and it does open Retro fine without issue but no game launch, just main menu of retro Edited November 9, 2021 by slider6996 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, it's probably just an issue with the ROMs or BIOS file. Also, if you reinstall RetroArch (using the menu item), currently it will remove all BIOS files. So you may need to re-place that BIOS file into the RetroArch system folder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alright will do, after i right clicked it just now though and opened Retro manually, i went to the game in Retro to load it manually with a core i selected and game does load fine that way for the record but ill try fresh install again with new list again.

Did you specify which core you actually want to use to launch the game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya i had to choose the core to make it launch manually, i did just redo a single SNES game though and it worked just like in video, i think me already having the PS1 game in a section is maybe causing the issue so im backing up my folder ( gonna take a bit ) and remove ps1 games from install area and try again as i think that might be issue as thats what i did with snes as its smaller size didnt take long so will report back once i get done. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slider6996 Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 Just wanted to give update, my theory was right. I already had a sony ps1 setup installed forever ago that i use but i think me trying to use a game from that for a new folder wasnt playing happy with retro so i removed my ps1 game folder and then pretended was a new install of ps1 backup roms and it worked just like in video so we are good, i may have to do that for all my current rom installs but its no biggy really, will be worth it so ty again sir 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retro666 Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 Not sure if it`s linked to the issues in this thread but when clicking on tools, manage, update it`s overwritten my already existing retroarch installation (...\emulators\retroarch) and now wont launch at all, even manually in windows explorer... Should i remove that folder for retroarch, perform a small rom import to kick off the retroarch installation and see what happens? Cheers, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Make sure you're on version 12.3, as that should fix any issues like this. We haven't yet found any related issues on 12.3+. Let us know if you're already on 12.3. Regardless, to fix it, you should be able to just remove your RetroArch emulator from LaunchBox and then go to Tools > Manage > RetroArch > Install. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
