Does 1.16 not work with Android 15?

[TheHuffsta]

I have been using 1.16 on my Galaxy Tab S8+ for a year or so with no issues. I haven't played it in a while and went to launch it last week and it will no longer launch any of my ROMs. Retroarch will launch them no problem but LaunchBox won't. The only thing that has changed is the tablet updated to Android 15. Ive emailed support but havent heard back...

Sorry to hear. It should work just fine. If you would like to troubleshoot this, we can do it here.

What you'll want to do is follow the path of 1 ROM file through LaunchBox to make sure everything seems good. You'd be answering the following questions:

• Does the game in LaunchBox point to a ROM that exists
• The game exists in a platform, what Emulator is set up for that platform to launch and what core (there are multiple versions of RetroArch, so you'll want to make sure you are pointing to the one that you have installed on your device.

That's basically it. In order to do this, first you'll pick a ROM file, find out where it exists on your drive, then in LaunchBox, edit that game's metadata and make sure it's pointing to that same file. Then open up the platform's Emulator settings and make sure it's pointing to the correct Emulator. You can use the validate button to make sure it exists. Since it's RetroArch, you'll also want to make sure that the core you are telling RetroArch to use is actually downloaded inside of RetroArch, or alternatively, you can switch to a core that you know for sure is in use.

If you need extra help, take screenshots along the way, and post them here.
