Is RocketLauncher dead? Has it been replaced with anything?

[matchaman]

I'm making a brand new setup after about 5 years. It seems that RocketLauncher's forums seem idle and the program itself hasn't been updated since I last used it.

Am I missing something? Is it still fine to use with contemporary versions of RetroArch and other updated emulators? ...or is there something else to use these days instead?

Rocketlauncher is still the one to use. The UI itself hasn't gotten an update in forever because it doesn't really need one. The modules are no longer automatically updated though either, so you may have to search the RL forums for updated ones manually.

I did notice the RL site to be slow/offline lately, I assume they are just doing server maintenance.

Extremely old post, but thought i would chime in here. Last I knew, they were having issues with keeping the hosted server alive and it has since been revamped.  Most of the RL community has migrated to a Discord channel. RL site is still valid and good if your looking for complete answers, discord is good for quicker turnaround times.

The only thing that needs to be changed at RocketLauncher is @Agent47, for banning everyone who dares to question his dictator like rules !!

He has single handidly ruined the entire forum all by himself

I wish there was a Rocklauncher Module section in the forum here as an alternative. It would be nice to openly discuss RL topics without harsh criticism.

I have been responding to posts on Rocketlauncher forums, offering researched and helpful solutions but Agent47 is censoring and deleting my posts if it goes against his opinions.

I will continue to offer help on RL forum until I am banned.

Pity nobody can see your solutions as they are all banned .. including me !

It would be useful to have a section within Hyperspin as you say.

Maybe someone can create a Rocketlauncher forum in Hyperspin and just block @Agent47 from viewing it, or he will just keep sticking his beak into that as well and telling people who can and can't comment on solutions !!

PS, If you ever create a module for Sony PS Vita, (Vita3k) can you please post it on Hyperspin too ?

I'm not banned yet and some of my comments are still there.

Sorry, I'm not knowledgeable enough to attempt module creation.

My expertise is in RetroArch and MAME Software List. Agent47 has avoided using both of those out of personal preference. I will try and continue responding to questions about RA and MAME in a way that Agent47 can see as helpful and not challenging him.

Maybe, in time, other forum users will feel comfortable posting and offering help. It would be nice to have a more open and collaborative environment. It could result in more advancements that would benefit everyone.
