ArquebusX Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 (edited) I don't have any trouble getting Retroarch to load other platforms, but it simply doesn't launch from Launchbox when I try an arcade/MAME game. I have confirmed that Retroarch works on its own. Until this morning, Arcade was listed as an associated platform for Retroarch, with the correct core selected (mame 2010 libretro). But it was still not working. This morning, when I got up to write this post, I went to take my screenshots and discovered that now Arcade is not an available option. So now I'm doubly confused. So I now need help on two things: where'd the Arcade associated platform go? And how do I get Retroarch to load arcade games from Launchbox, assuming I can get that associated platform back?

Retro808 Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 You appear to have the platforms listed in alphabetical order so "Arcade" is not showing. In the image of the Associated Platforms we cannot see the rest of the list. Do you have "Arcade" listed there and the correct core selected?

ArquebusX Posted October 20, 2023 Author Share Posted October 20, 2023 (edited) Which screenshot are you referring to? In the Associated Platforms list, Arcade should be between 3DO Interactive Multiplayer and Armstrad PC - it should be the second item in the list. On the off chance the alphabetization was weird, I also sorted by Core and looked fore mame*, but it's not there either.

ArquebusX Posted October 20, 2023 Author Share Posted October 20, 2023 (edited) I also tested things by adding another emulator (MAME regular distribution), and I was able to see Arcade as the associated platform available for that emulator. But it's still not showing for Retroarch. I can't get games to load via MAME either, but that's a problem for another day, maybe? (The screen goes black momentarily, which is more than I got with Retroarch, but then immediately I'm back at Launchbox.)

Scroll down to the bottom of the list. There should be a blank cell. Add it in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That solved both of my problems, thanks! Once I'd re-added Arcade, it actually loaded mame 2010, which it hadn't been doing before. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
