RetroFE forums

You have to specify the frontend where you have the emulator located as well as the roms as well. It is important that you go to the folder "Launchers Windows" and there choose or create one. I have the launcher for Mame like this:

executable = emulators \ MAME \ mame64.exe
arguments = "% ITEM_NAME%"

At the beginning, the whole issue of the configurations is a bit confusing, but as you practice and read the forum posts, you will surely master it. Luck!

you mean the mame emulator to load arcade games?

Greetings friends!
I am trying to integrate Pinball Arcade to RetroFe and the truth is that I do not get it.
I attached as I have the configurations:

executable = C:\RetroFE\emulators\Pinball Arcade\PinballArcade.exe
arguments = "%ITEM_NAME%"

and:

#
# If BASE_ITEM_PATH=D:/ROMs and the name of this collection is named "Nintendo

I would like to know if any of you have tried this system and how it has been achieved.

Thank you very much to all.

Greetings. A few months ago I started this post before the impossibility of launching the emulator Demul in the RetroFe. To this day I still can not make it work and my question is: What version of Demul you use to launch it in the frontend?
Can you upload your configuration here for launchers, etc?
The truth is that I do not know how to solve this problem. Thank you.

Greetings, friends.
Recently I uploaded a post in which exposed the impossibility of loading games in the Model 2 emulator.
Well now I have the same problem with the Demul to load the games of Naomi and Atomiswave. When I try to load any game from the Retrofe the emulator window opens but does not load the rom.
So I have the launcher configured:

executable = C: \ RetroFE \ emulators \ Sammy Atomiswave \ demul.exe
arguments = "% ITEM_NAME%"

And in settings:

#################################################################################################### ########################
# list.path =% BASE_ITEM_PATH% \% ITEM_COLLECTION_NAME% \ roms
list.path = C: \ RetroFE \ emulators \ Sammy Atomiswave \ roms
list.includeMissingItems = false
list.extensions = zip
list.menuSort = yes

#################################################################################################### ########################
# If a game is specified in include.txt then it will be included in the list

I do not know how to make these emulators work anymore. And I would like to solve it a lot because Retrofe is the frontend that I like and prefer.
Do you know where the error may be?

                                                              Thank you very much.

Wonderful! It works perfectly.
Thank you very much Pieter.
