Retroarch Playing Videos, not the actual games.

I just installed Launchbox and added some atari 5200 and 7800 roms.  I let launchbox install retroarch automatically.  Everything went well and seemed successful. But when I go to start the games, all I get is the video of the game and nothing else. 

Is this normal? Am I missing something?

Hi @mp3deej. This sounds like you've somehow imported your video files as ROMs. To check this, edit one of the affected games and see what's in your ROM File field, located in the "Launching" section.

I'm seeing the same issue. Even though my platforms are set to store videos in the Video folder, LaunchBox is downloading videos to the folders containing the ROMs. When LaunchBox starts RetroArch, it starts it with the video and not the game. Its like LaunchBox is not including the file extension in what it passes to RetroArch or something.
