hhcasey Posted January 2 Posted January 2 I've loaded LaunchBox 13.18 and in doing so I've caused myself some problems. Several of the emulators stopped working. My two remaining problems are MAME 0.273 and SNES I used the full set import feature with a new ).773 romset and installed MAME with the loader. Great help to import and load but the games don't load. When I run MAME outside of Launchbox it works fine. I would like to use Retroarch for SNES with a snes9x core. like above, it doesn't load the game in launchbox but will outside of launchbox if you right click and open Retroarch. Any suggestions?

hhcasey Posted January 4 Author Posted January 4 I stumbled onto the MAME problem. As slick as it is, the import complete sets option does not offer the same options as the manual import as far as what would you like to do with the rom location. I use my desktop computer for downloading and storage. Anything I want to add to my arcade machine I do with a portable drive. Apparently the automatic option does not copy the roms into the arcade file folder. I realized this when I reconnected the portable drive and MAME started working fine. I deleted everything and used the manual import, making a point of adding a folder for my roms inside of arcade using the name MAME 0.273 roms (merged). When prompted to install the MAME emulator I did likewise creating a folder named MAME 0.273. Now 6 months from now when I can't remember what I installed the correct sets will be easy to identify. I still can't figure out why Retroarch using the snes9x core won't run my snes games. They run fine on my desktop using the same core and rom files in the same folders. There must be some import/setup problem that I can't figure out. Any suggestions on Retroarch would be appreciated. Quote

Verify that you don't have Extract ROMs checked under Associated Platforms. Quote
hhcasey Posted January 4 Author Posted January 4 It was checked but unchecking it did not seem to help. As a general rule, should the Extract ROM's boxes be unchecked for all Retroarch cores? Quote

That's all dependent on the core being used for that system. 43 minutes ago, hhcasey said: It was checked but unchecking it did not seem to help. Just looked back up at your RetroArch screenshot. For some reason Remove Quotes got checked. Un-check that. Quote
hhcasey Posted January 4 Author Posted January 4 Remove quotes was the problem! On my arcade machine, I have a sidebar for the games. It doesn't show on the desktop in my office. I really like it and don't know where to go to turn it on. Quote
