Is there an autosetup for Emulators when ROMs are mass imported?

[Dragon33]

Hi squad,

 

Maybe I did it backwards; I imported my ROMs Collection to LaunchBox, then I added emulators. (Dolphin, PCSX2, Flycast, and RetroArch[for GBA, DS, Genesis, N64))

I thought that Launchbox would automatically add the arguments for retroarch per system, based on the cores that are installed. It didn't do that. 

Now I know I can manually add the launch arguments per system, but isn't LB supposed to have done that for me? I bring this up cuz I can't open up any of the games. Which makes sense because the proper launch args aren't there.

Typically you just let LaunchBox download/install it for you via the import. If you're using the Add emulator you pick the emulator in question via the drop down and all that information should fill in for you. There is also a download button in that window that appears for emulators that are supported and it'll dl and then check that the default settings are in there.

That's the thing, it didn't prompt me to import emulators when I did the import. It verified the systems that the ROMs were from, it asked me the type of media I wanted to download, asked me to sign into EmuMovies, then asked me what to pull from there. It didn't bring up the emulators. I will take screenshots on my emulator settings. I needed to download it via the dropdown but for retroarch it doesn't give me an obvious option to select the core per system

Assuming Tools < Import < ROM Files

Were you importing ROMs for a Single Platform?  Or Multiple Platforms?

[Dragon33]

I was importing multi platform. 

The solution I found was to remove Retroarch completely, then readd it. Once I pointed it to the retroarch that was downloaded (pulled from the download button in LB. ~/LaunchBox/Emulators/Retroarch) it detected the platforms and auto picked the cores. I then swapped some around (mGBA instead of VBA for example)

 

I don't know why it initially do that when I downloaded retroarch but I am glad that it was a simple fix
