Tracy Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 I have a paid version of launchbox for probably 5 years. I just got around to using it, The first set of roms i installed were neogeo. When I click play, it never starts. If I launch it with mame core they run fine. I notice that if I right click and try to launch using the default retroarch it is using libreto to try and run the game. Im assuming I have to dl that emulator and put it in the emulators folder. My question is how do I change retroarch to use mame instead? Ive tried but Im lost. Any help would be great. thx guys...and you al yell at me for a dumb question.....I can take it! ths guys...

C-Beats Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 Easiest way is to go to Tools > Manage > Manage Emulators and add a new emulator that points to your MAME install. In the Add Window go to Associated Platforms and add the platform that your games in into a new row. In that row then select the default check box. LaunchBox will then ask you when you attempt to save the emulator if you want to change the games in that platform to use that new emulator. Say yes so that the change occurs. Your games should then be set to use MAME. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tracy Posted August 25, 2023 Author Share Posted August 25, 2023 Haven't had much luck that way either. Is there a folder that the bios files are supposed to be in? I can change what core I use but it makes no difference. I leaves me wondering if it is a bios issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracy Posted August 25, 2023 Author Share Posted August 25, 2023 After more playing around , I can tell you that I can launch retroarch from the emulators folder and load the neogeo content and it runs fine. Im thinking that I may just have a path issue in my settings. Any thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lordmonkus Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 Well I don't know why your check box looks the way it does. Mine look like this when toggled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracy Posted August 26, 2023 Author Share Posted August 26, 2023 It must be because it looks like it is solid filled in. It is not checked. I have tried it checked and unchecked. I checked it so you can see.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retro808 Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 In the Associated Platform tab do you have your Neo Geo platform listed there? Also does the name exactly match what you called it in LB? In other words...If you called it Neo Geo AES in LB but the Associated Platform for the emulator shows SNK Neo Geo AES it will not work. It needs to be exactly as you named it in LB. >If the above fixes your issue good. If not do what is listed below. Post the following pics so we can see you exact set-up. >Right click and edit a Neo Geo game that is not working 1. Post pic of the Details page 2. Post pic of the Emulation page 3.

It seems to not matter which emulator that I use within launchbox they just wont run. I can launch by right clicking on game then going into load retroarch and navigate to game it will run. I just cant seem to get the configuration worked out.

You need to have the 3 checkboxes in the middle disabled (Remove Quotes, Remove space before ROM, and Remove Extension) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
