Super Nintendo Games Only Play The Music

[Mark Batchelder]

I'm using RetroArch with the bsnes-mercury accuracy core and when I try to load a game it just starts playing the music in the lower right corner instead of loading the game. I've tried reimporting the games, but that hasn't helped and I know RetroArch is working because I can play the games directly from RetroArch. Any idea what could be causing this problem?

i may be able to help could you send me your emulators.xml file from the launchbox data folder and the path of your launchbox folder do you have retroarch in the emu folder under launchbox?

Thank you for the response, I couldn't find emulators.xml and I've seen that video before, but that did get me thinking. Sure enough, LaunchBox is trying to use a RetroArch core for the SNES that I don't have, but after updating that information in LaunchBox everything seems to be working fine. (Not sure if that's what you were trying to say...)

This does make me wonder if I coincidently used the correct RetroArch cores for the NES and Nintendo 64 or if LaunchBox was smart enough to use the cores I had downloaded and just didn't do the same for the SNES. Either way, everything seems to be good now.
