Pre-made packs

Hey,

I bought this game a few hours ago, and am having a lot of issues trying to get the ROMs running, especially the GB ROMs, they just don't seem to work at all, and I can't find any documentation online.

I'd like to ask, are there any pre-made packs available online that you can just copy over to the Contents folder - that include the ROMs, artwork, etc. - just to make the setup process a lot easier?

I know that you can't share links to ROMs, so if you know of any pre-made packs, please add me on Steam. I love the game, but setting it up is a little bit of a pain.

Nabeday has put together a pack consisting of Freeware titles that you can use to fill the arcade up with.

I also ask that you make sure that you read the Arcade Builder guide here: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=736005082

Could you please go into more detail about the issue you're having with the GameBoys? Are you able to hear any audio from them?

Thank you for a very quick response.

I downloaded a game pack, and it turns out that I'm an idiot, and forgot to link the emulators to the ROMs, so that's one problem solved.

As for the 'Gamebros'; I don't seem to be able to modify any of them in the arcade. I'm in the Arcade Builder right now, and I can't customize them at all. Screenshot: https://gyazo.com/5a23b68ac16ce6cd5b6b207067336597

I have the emulator, and one ROM in the correct format in the 'roms' folder, and still no luck.

The reason you are experiencing that error is because the XML files included in that pack are outdated and haven't been updated to the current layout.

You'll need to navigate to "steamapps\common\New Retro Arcade Neon\NewRetroArcade\Content"

In it you'll find a number of XML files with the word Default in their names. Save copies of these files somewhere, such as a new folder and remove the default from their names.

So ArcadeButtonLayouts.default.XML becomes ArcadeButtonLayouts.XML

Do this for all the XML files that you can. This will bring everything back up to default.

Afterwards, you can take the files from Nabeday's pack and use those if you wish. I HIGHLY suggest using that pack as a baseline so you can avoid any further issues.

Thanks a lot, working like a charm now :)

Oh, one question regarding your game.

Are there any plans to add more sophisticated volume control mechanics? For ex. Decreasing the volume of one of the games, so that players can watch VHS tapes without having to listen to the game sounds coming from a gameboy/snes etc.

There is a newer pack by the way, I'm not providing a direct link to it but pay close attention to this video and check out the full description notes :-)
This was actually posted by one of the dev's on several news posts.
