I'm using Launchbox/Bigbox 13.18 on Windows 10. I used to be able to launch games on previous versions of Launchbox. Now I'm unable to launch games of any platform (Mame, Sega Genesis (retroarch), SNES (retroarch). Games launch fine in retroarch and Mame but won't launch in LaunchBox. When I double click on a game, it acts like it wants to launch for a second, but nothing happens. I configured retroarch and added cores need for my platforms. Any help is greatly appreciated!

I'd start with following the trail of one game to see where the broken link might be.

Choose a game and Edit it.

  • Go to the Launching section and make sure the file path to the game file is correct
  • Go to the Emulation page and make sure it's choosing the correct emulator entry
  • Click on the Edit button for the emulator and make sure all info on the Details page is correct and it's pointing to an emulator that exists and is confirmed working outside of LaunchBox
  • Go to the Associated Platforms tab and make sure the Platform the game is from is represented, and if using RetroArch, a core is selected that exists inside of your RetroArch instance and is confirmed working outside of LaunchBox

For the most part that's all that's needed, although there are some advanced settings that could be getting in the way, but I'll assume you haven't touched any of those.

If you are unable to see anything wrong, take screenshots of all those sections and post here and I'm sure one of us can help you out.
