Some Nintendo emulators won't launch.

Hello, I am using Launchbox since years and I really appreciate this frontend. But I noticed something weird. Recently, I can't launch games with some emulators of Big N hardware : Dolphin standalone, Cemu and Yuzu. When I launch a game within LB, the emulator window has a error message saying that the rom / iso isn't recognized. Can anyone say me if the ability to launch these emulators has been removed ? 

Thanks to the team for their work.

When I open the games with the emulators, without using LB, it works

Below the pics for Cemu and Dolphin

No both emulators can be used (have both).  LB is agnostic to the type of emulator as long as it has some command line functionality. 

Can you screen snap example of what you have for the actual game "rom file" (examples below) for each as I don't see anything immediately obvious. Using that "+" or other special characters in path isn't usually a good idea as can cause odd things for some emulation but that wouldn't explain your issue with CEMU as that looks okay path wise. 

For at least CEMU my guess is pointing to wrong file within the directory or an unencrypted version. The link here has some details on the different file types for CEMU and some additional gory details.

Similarly for Dolphin a screen snap of your setup game example and what pointing to will help as you said both work outside LB.

I don't understand. When I use an older version of LB (13.14), it works, but it doesn't work with the latest version.

 

 

A few things to try/verify. 

  • There were some changes in LB on things related to CEMU (auto download) so would first double check that both emulators are pointed to proper EXE in LB emulators window. I would open up Explorer browse and go to the EXE to make sure.  As you said they are both launching into emulator; thus this is likely not the issue. 
  • Next, I would take a test game delete it from your platform (media will stay) and then drag and drop the ROM back into LB window to add it back. See if that launches.
  • Next, if above fails would concentrate on your file path naming. There was a user that was having issues with a file naming path on another emulator where if the path in LB had double space in path LB wasn't parsing to emulator correctly. It appears your folder "VideoGames 2" has two spaces between the 2.  You can do a test for that by making a simple folder structure (no plus, no spaces) and using one of your Wii ISO as test (drag and drop into LB window) and see if runs.
  • Lastly, might check if auto import is on or off (new feature relative to version you likely had) and verify where your folders for "games" are pointing to in the Platform (see snap below).
