Requirements:

  • An internet connection
  • An associated LaunchBox Games Database ID# for the selected game


Installing:
Download and extract the contents of the download into your /LaunchBox/Plugins/ folder.
    i.e.  D:/LaunchBox/Plugins/LBDBimages/LBDBimages.dll


Using:

  • Start LaunchBox
  • Right-Click a game
  • Select LB Games db Images *

*If a game does not have an associated LaunchBox Games Database ID#, the menu option will be disabled.


Switch between the LBDB Images and your games' [Local] Images (lower right corner)

LBDB Images view:
Select a filter on the left to view only those image types
Double-click an image to add it to your game
Check Hide images you already have to not show...yup...images you already have **

Local Images view:
Select a filter on the left to view only those image types
Right-click an image and select Remove Image to remove it from your collection

 

**This only checks for an exact CRC32 match between the database images and your local images.  "Pretty close" is not an "exact match".

Click the DB Id # to navigate to the LaunchBox Games Database webpage for that game (opens into your default browser)
Mouse-over an image to see its image type and region (if available)

    a) the plugin title in the right-click game menu will show as: (U) LB Games db Images
    b) At the top of the plugin window, it will show Update available

Click the Info/Support icon, then click the Update Available button. This will open the plugins download page in your default browser.

 


As always, all thoughts, views, suggestions, opinions and accolades are welcome.
