Seriously, I'm in the same boat on that. I remember back when MAME first came out, info on how to properly install and run it was pretty confusing since this was a time when all this information was very new to the internet at large. These launchers truly do streamline the most foreign part of the process.

Thanks a bunch, man. Always wanted to install MAME but it looked a bit daunting. It took me almost a week to download the full rom set (and I could only find version 0.232) but eventually it all worked out. Now I have around thirty thousand games in my PC. What's a bummer is that not all games could find images for their big boxes, but I'll get around to that sometime. Again, thank you very much, you were very kind with your time in order to teach us the steps.

@@pablobragacp Let's be real there, arcade games in general do not contain a fancy boxart like the console one. Even there is one, the list appearance still looks very inconsistent which doesn't help at all :3 Personally, just like the scenario with Nintendo Satellaview games, I would make an exception which I rather use title screen as Arcade boxart cover list. Every arcade game basically has it's own title screen so it would make the overall looking much more bearable :3 Also, when adding arcade playlist in Launchbox or Retroarch, DO NOT set the core as every game sometimes needs different cores to successfully boot the application.

If you're using MAME in Retroarch you'll need Finalburn Neo, MAME 2016, and MAME 2003. Not all the roms set will work with just one, you need to see which one doesn't launch and switch them accordingly. You can also setup Launchbox for these 3 category, only roms that works with 2003, 2016 and Finalburn.

Looks nice, thank you. Some sincere questions though. Even though this is by far the easiest rom import setup I have seen, 1) How do I prevent automatic full screen? I almost always play in a window to pause and go back and to other apps 2) Controller setup! This is something where Launchbox just doesn't have a patch on openemu for mac (nothing does really as far as ease of use goes). How do I set up my controller, including analog for driving games? 3) How do I access game rom settings, for example with neogeo i should be able to have control over difficulty level, lives, etc. This is really easy in RA with FBN. Thanks very much in advance!

Most cheap encoders on Amazon are good enough and are basically plug and play. The buttons on the other hand will depend on what have you played and what you like. Some folks like buttons that light up others are more concerned about them being concave or convex. I'd suggest the simpler single color buttons without lights, they are cheaper and easier to set up. you can always get different buttons for your encoder if you want something more colorful or fancy afterwards.

I use Launchbox mostly because I like my emulators to be stand alone which is why I really try to avoid Retroarch. I think it's great for people who are getting into emulation to have everything set up but for us who use some emulators for 15-20 years we prefer emulators to be stand alone that's why Launchbox
@roberto1519
@roberto1519 2 жыл бұрын
You're confused on how it works, Launchbox basically requires Retroarch to run games, as it is only a frontend, a skin. Retroarch is also a frontend but it's mostly used because it's a unified way to run most systems in one place, with plenty of options to enhance your experience. The user can, of course, opt to use standalone emulators for every system, but if you visit LB forums or mess with its config, you'll see Retroarch basically being a requirement to emulate most systems, because it's easier and often the best option. If I get right what you're trying to say is that you prefer browsing and launching games from Launchbox rather than from Retroarch, if that's it, then I agree with you, as I also use a frontend to browse my games.

Hello, I have a question that you may or may not be able to answer, what (in your opinion) is the best frontend for an arcade machine build, now to be fair the machine in question is a 4 player using ipacs. I also have 4 xbox controllers for emulators that don't really support arcade style play . I currently have a front end installed and use but I'm just curious what you might recommend as I am always looking to improve the experience

I would suggest a windows PC booting straight into BigBox for most easy customization and less hair pulling. I personally use a PC with Linux based Batocera in my arcade, its seamless from boot, very easy for my kids to start up and run, but takes a bit of time to fine tune some of the more advanced emulation like N64 and up.

Retroarch can be fiddly but it's a great way to play emulation on a PC too ✌️

I was reluctant to switch over to Retroarch, and it took some time to learn(but so did MAME and Mednafen), but it's easily the best method, in my opinion.

Nah, it's MAME implementation is fucked up. MAME devs don't support it due to architectural issues.

@@poisonouslead85 MAME still works rather well within Retroarch. Just used it recently. But there's also Final Burn which also works very well and is better implemented. Even if I had to use MAME standalone, which is no big deal, Retroarch has many upsides for everything else.

Bless you for this. I’m going to use this for my Arcade1up machines. Can I use you 2-3 year old video for raspberry pie on Arcade1up for tutorial still? I kind of want to do the install with getting all original hardware and just throw in a computer to run this launch box.

You probably can but I'd suggest you search a video on modding the specific arcade you got because there might be some minor but potentially confusing changes between other arcade models and the panels/wiring they use.

Thanks ETA PRIME. i have followed many tutorials on many differnt subjects and they always work great. Cant seem to make this one work, searched if anyone else had the same problem but coulnt find it in the comments. Hate to be the only one LOL. When i double click a game or press PLAY, it doesnt load or start. the screen flickers as if it would load something and nothing happens. Any ideas? Even if my comment doesnt get read, love all your videos . thanks for everything.

Super basic question, as I am terrible at MAME (only use retroarch): in an arcade cabinet that have a special wiring for standard MAME keyboard inputs, does this Launchbox option works or is it configured for pads?

Not sure if your still answering questions on this post, but need some guidance, do you need to download mame separately and add some way to your Launchbox, or does it Launchbox auto install mame with the mame roms set and auto configures for you? I've been trying the past week and all I could get was one game to work using the stand alone mame latest version, then installed a couple of console emulators (Saga Genesis and Turbografx 16) managing to get them working with adding single roms, but I'd really like to get everything set up and working as you showed in your video...I'm currently dl latest mame roms set...Thanxs for any help in advance.

smh been a long day, sorry about that, read info above and answered my question...wow this should be so much easier than manually setting up mame, I did with older version years ago, but don't have it anymore and just cannot figure out how to set up mame as stand alone, no matter how many video's I've watched.
