Game won't play, but the music will

Issue #2899 new
RYAN BROUILLET created an issue

So I don't know what I pushed or what happened, but I was going through my emulators, getting everything set up in working order. I have about 2 dozen emulators and all the games I need listed for them. I'm working my way down the list and everything is working fine, no issues (except maybe a few controller buttons or a new emulator, but that's no big deal). I get down to the SNES and I accidentally clicked on something, I think it was the music button on the upper part of the image of one of the games while I was hovering over it with my mouse. I didn't think anything of it but music started playing, I was like "Eh? Guess I accidentally hit the music button." So I stop it and proceed to double click on a game, like I've been doing the entire time. Music starts playing, but no game. Odd. Let's try another game. Same thing. Another game, same thing. If there is no music for that game it just sits there and at the bottom by the music player it says music is unavailable. I'm very confused now. I go and try the previous emulator, Neo Geo Pocket Color. Wouldn't you know it, same thing! Just music. Now, I can't remember if I tested that emulator or not, I can't recall playing anything from that system. But whatever. I decide to try all the emulators again. Every one of them works just as well as it did before, except Neo Geo Pocket Color and SNES! They are still only doing the music! I go into settings to maybe find an answer, I open up Retroarch to find something, I re-link all the games to Retroarch, I find nothing like what I'm experiencing. I even searched the message boards and came up empty. I also restarted my computer to see if that would help, it didn't. The only solution I see is to remove all the SNES and NGPC games and just start over with those. Cause I'm at a loss.

I'm using 7.9 of Launchbox, Windows 10 Home

Anyways. I hope you can help me on this. It's probably something small that I'm overlooking.

    Hopefully, the same fix will work for you that worked for me. I went to Tools > Manage Emulators, clicked edit on the emulator I'm using for SNES (RetroArch) and then selected the Associated Platforms tab. There I was able to scroll down to SNES and update the core being used to one I actually have; now all is working like normal.

    This does make me wonder if there is an issue specifically with LaunchBox running SNES because I didn't have to do this for any other system emulator I'm running.

    Goog Luck!
