I'm not familiar with FBA, but how does FBA know where to find your roms? Is that done via some ini file (like MAME) or via a commandline parameter? From what I could find online there appears to be a commandline parameter that needs to be added that's currently not in your launcher .conf file.

a .ini file in the error .png you see it finds it.

Code: [Select]

// The paths to search for rom zips (include trailing backslash)
szAppRomPaths[0] C:\Users\Thunder\Desktop\RetroFE\collections\Capcom Play System I\roms\
i also tested a command prompt fba64.exe "1941" just as retrofe is executing it and got the exact error so looking up the correct way for fba to launch a rom from command prompt and see how differs from the string retrofe is loading this appears to be the issue.

That's generally the way I do it: figure out the command line command, and then create the RetroFE launcher accordingly.

Out of curiosity: why FBA in stead of MAME?

just runs better for me tho with reading i found that retroarch has a fb libretro so i may give that a try.
might have somthing to do with my ryzen cpu and mame.

Update...
Tutorial added to tutorial section for FBA 64bit

(Ok wans't the 64bit version that works now to must have been a corrupt download the first time i got it that was effecting its command line use only weird)

Success ok got it to load up i was setting it up right seams it worked perfectly with the default 32bit binary so this looks like its a issue with the 64bit ill leave a tutorial after figure out what going on here.
