Problem to start the games

[Pepeporras]

Hello, good morning, I downloaded a few days ago RetroFe, it's a wonderful front end but I have a big problem, when I start some game on my list, the emulator opens but it does not start the game, it happens in all emulators except in Mame .

 I need help please

What do you have on the launcher for the emulators? If, for example, you're using RetroArch for NES with Nestopia, it should look something like:

Code: [Select]

executable = C:\Program Files\RetroArch\retroarch.exe
arguments = "%ITEM_FILEPATH%" -L "cores\nestopia_libretro.dll"

I moved the topic to the general help section. Thanks for the heads-up, firewater

With regards to your question: Please upload your log.txt so we can have a look, and help you solve the problem.

I do not use any launcher, I have the emulators each in their folder and I order the launcher to run the emulator when I select a game. I need a program like retroarch? I can not throw directly giving the order?

executable = C:\Program Files\Emulators\Nes\Nestopia.exe
arguments = "%ITEM_FILEPATH%"

You can use any emulator you like.

RetroFE works with a two step approach:
1. In the settings.conf of each collection, you can define the launcher used by the items in that collection.
2. In the launchers/<launcher name>.conf file you define the command (executable) and arguments that need to be used to launch the game.

As said: please upload your log.txt (created after you unsuccessfully try to launch the game), and I will have a look to see if I can figure out what the problem is.

The problem is you're using the %ITEM_NAME% as the argument in your jnes launcher so it's sending the file name without the extension. You should use "%ITEM_FILEPATH%" as your argument instead.

The problem is you're using the %ITEM_NAME% as the argument in your jnes launcher so it's sending the file name without the extension. You should use "%ITEM_FILEPATH%" as your argument instead.

You just beat me to it. %ITEM_NAME% is generally only used by MAME when launching arcade games or games from the software list. Practically every other emulator needs the full path to the ROM.

OMG 

now start game but when press esc, not exit, also minimize the emulator

Pufffff...

That sounds like an emulator configuration issue. While the emulator is running, RetroFE has no control over it.
