Fatal Error: Unrecognized switch -auto (Dreamcast - BlastEm)

I have recently added a few more emulators to my setup within Launchbox/Big Box however Sega Genesis is the only one I am having issues with. Any time I try to launch a game using BlastEm within Launchbox I get this error. Fatal Error: Unrecognized switch -auto

 

It works fine when launching directly from the .exe file itself only within Launchbox is when I get the problem occuring.

Not sure if you ever resolved this, but I just had the same issue and managed to fix it so here you go:

Go to Tools > Manage > Emulators...

Select Associated Platforms on the left hand side.

Find Sega Genesis (I assume you meant this console), and clear the Default Command-Line Parameters.

Hit OK and it should work now.

I was having the same issue with BlastEm and found another way to fix it.

I had to open up "Emulators.xml" in the Data folder. For me, on line 469 (under the second result when you search for "Sega Genesis") is the following code:

Quote

<CommandLine>-gen -auto -fullscreen</CommandLine>

I just erased the "-auto", saved the .xml, and then everything booted up properly.
