And humble.

Looks like this plugin will scrape from there.

DemulShooter Auto-Launcher View File Automatically start DemulShooter when launching a game. When launching a game, this will check for a valid DemulShooter emulator and associated ROM. If found, DemulShooter will be started with the appropriate command line parameters for that emulator/ROM. This reduces the need for customized Additional Apps, batch files or AutoHotkey scripts to run DemulShooter. (See Notes) If you don't have a lightgun or have never setup DemulShooter, there's really nothing more to see here. Requirements: LaunchBox v13.19 or newer DemulShooter installed and setup** The plugin file (RunDemulShooter.dll) "settings.txt" in the plugin's folder and edited/saved (see below) **See DemulShooter documentation for setting it up and its supported emulators & ROMs. https://github.com/argonlefou/DemulShooter/wiki Installing and Using: Extract the contents of the zip file to the /Plugins/ folder e.g. D:\LaunchBox\Plugins\RunDemulShooter\RunDemulShooter.dll In that plugins folder, create a new "settings.txt" file. In the file, add "demulshooter = full/path/to/DemulShooterFolder" (without quotes) e.g. demulshooter = E:\My LightGun Files\DemulShooter The path can be a relative path to LaunchBox. Start LaunchBox (optional: Start QMamehook or MAME Hooker or your alternative Hook flavor of choice) Launch a valid DemulShooter emulator/game. How it works - What it does When a game is launched, the plugin will... Check the game's emulator against a list of supported emulators Check the game's ROM file against a list of supported games for that emulator Check if DemulShooter.exe (or DemulShooterX64.exe) is inadvertently already running and then kill the process Start DemulShooter.exe (or DemulShooterX64.exe) with the corresponding parameters If the game's emulator is TeknoParrotUI, -noinput will be added to the parameters System 357 games will also have -pname=rpcs3.exe added to the parameters Examples: Game: Silent Hill: The Arcade ROM file: SilentHill.xml Emulator: TeknoParrot Launches: DemulShooter.exe -target=ttx -rom=sha -noinput Game: Ninja Assault (US) ROM file: ninjasltu.zip Emulator: Flycast Launches: DemulShooterX64.exe -target=flycast -rom=ninjasltu Game: Manic Panic Ghosts ROM file: manicpnc.zip Emulator: Demul Launches: DemulShooter.exe -target=demul07a -rom=manicpnc Game: Razing Storm ROM file: RazingStorm.xml Emulator: TeknoParrot Launches: DemulShooterX64.exe -target=rpcs3 -rom=razstorm -pname=rpcs3.exe -noinput Support emulators: Demul (Demul 07a or newer) Model2 Emulator emulator.exe emulator_multicpu.exe Flycast TeknoParrot Notes: TeknoParrot games must use TP as the emulator (TeknoParrotUI.exe) and the ROM must point to the game's xml file. The xml file must be named for the games ROM (as TP names them). e.g. for Luigi's Mansion Arcade, "LuigisMansion.xml" Games that are standalone executables are not recognized by this plugin. When launching a game, a check is done to see if DemulShoorter is already running (e.g. if it didn't shut itself down from a previous launch). If it is, it will kill the existing process. This avoids the "Dude! You can't start DemulShoorter because it's already running". As always, all thoughts, views, suggestions, comments are welcome.

In the emulators Running Script section, add to the beginning of it WinWaitActive ahk_exe snes9x.exe send !{Enter} As for mgba, I've never used that emulator.

I'm running out of ideas then. One screenshot you didn't show was the emulators Associated Platforms section. (you showed the Details and Running Script, but not that one) Double check the emulator is pointing to the correct exe file. Yours is snes9x.exe. But mine is snes9x-x64.exe. Either could be correct. One way to verify is to right-click the game and select Open Snes9x... If the emulator opens, then it should be fine. (can test again File-Load Game to confirm that one is for sure working outside of LaunchBox.) If you have 2 (or more) different copies of Snes9x installed on your computer, make sure that the one you're testing with outside of LaunchBox is the same one you're running from within LaunchBox. Try removing -fullscreen from the Default Command-line Parameters and see if that changes anything. When you say "it keeps loading but the game won't open", are you seeing the emulator's window and just a black screen? Or the LaunchBox "Loading..." screen?

That all looks good too. Does the game work when you load it directly from the emulator?

That looks good for the emulator. Can you provide some for the game? (follow the red arrow the edit the game) Edit one of the SNES games and show screenshots of - the main Metadata section - the Launching section - the Emulation section

Can you share some screenshots of how you have it setup in LaunchBox: Edit your Snes9X emulator [in LaunchBox] and show screenshots of - the Main Details section - the Associated Platforms section Edit one of the SNES games and show screenshots of - the main Metadata section - the Launching section - the Emulation section

That's pretty vague. When you say "directly", are you saying directly from the emulator? Or is it a Windows games that doesn't use an emulator? Or do you mean when you launch it from LaunchBox? What do you mean by "it loads and doesn't open"? Can you provide a little more details/specifics? What platform? What emulator? Which game?

Again, it's not an incorrect number. It's merely a 'different' number. To help with your endeavors, try this. Hint: use the "incorrect" number. https://gamesdb.launchbox-app.com/games/dbid/4538

Nothing to do with being on an older version. Those numbers are indeed different. And will be for all games. But rest assured, they are correct. Respectively. The good news is the metadata pulled for the game is true to the game. And as you found, links you to the corresponding online page for the game.

Start with Tools < Download < Force Update Games Database Metadata... (just to be sure) Then edit the game and type in "Biohazard RE:2" and press enter. Select the game "Resident Evil 2 (Remake)" (If need be, 1st click the red X to clear the current LBDB ID# ) In the left panel, click Alternate Names. Select "Biohazard RE:2". In the bottom middle of that window click Set Selected Name as Title. Click OK to save and close.

Ok. So a whole different folder location. That's good. Did you transfer the /LaunchBox/Core/ folder? That would cause an issue. May try only copying: Data Games Emulators (if it's there) Images Videos Actually, you could just copy the entire contents of C:\username\LaunchBox\ into [an empty] C:\LaunchBox\. Then run the 13.17 installer and point it to C:\ (as the installer will make it C:\LaunchBox\). Double check updates are off. Exit LaunchBox. Delete the contents of the /Updates/ folder and "call it a day". And it never said 'a new update has been downloaded, would you like to install it now'? (Assuming it did) Even if you clicked No, at that point it will install it next time you open it. If that message popup never showed, check and double check that you're actually starting the exe located in C:\LaunchBox\.

When you installed the downgrade, did your select the folder /LaunchBox/? Or its parent folder? Right before the final "Install" click, it'll show the folder structure it will install to. The installer will add "LaunchBox to the install location. So if you selected /LaunchBox/, it will install into /LaunchBox/LaunchBox/. Check for a folder inside your LaunchBox folder called "LaunchBox". When you say "reverts back", are you saying when it opens, it says it's 13.26? Or does it say it's going to install [update to] 13.26 (and at that point, you're kind of stuck)?

Did you prioritize Steam media for these Steam games? (You should have. Makes sense. Right?) Do the videos show in LaunchBox? If so, try testing with the Default theme [in Big Box]. If not, they won't show in Big Box. Similar with launching games. If they don't launch from LaunchBox, they won't launch from Big Box. (if you ever come across that issue). I just recalled, there's currently an issue with downloading new Steam videos that's being work on by the developers. You can read more about it here: Feedback - LaunchBox

Looks promising. Well done! I personally don't have a need for it as I barely play games let alone read the manuals. But I think it could spark some interest out there.

Yes. You have the info and tools to deduce what you can do. I rarely make recommendations. But merely suggestions. What I suggested was a fresh start. But yes, there's more than one way to accomplish the desired end result. Using your powers of deductive reasoning, 'you got this'. 👍 Yes. Scrape-As Windows.

If there are games in that platform, those games will be removed from LaunchBox [as well as the platform]. But they will not be "blacklisted". Think of it as no platform, no games. Hmm... that square should be a ⚙️. Regardless, "Set Import Platform" = Set Import Platform. so yes. You indicated Wolfenstein was "fine". But when you import into the new Steam Platform, it might bring them in again. For a "fresh start" (regarding Steam et. al.) Yes. Remove those as well. Then do the Bulk Edit thing for those respective games (after importing into Steam. Of course. ). No. No. See fresh start above.

Take the win. Glad it was an "easy" fix. Strange, as it may be.

That would/should fix it. Actually, right-click the platform (left panel) and select Delete. Deleting the games themselves will add them to a "blacklist", preventing them from being auto imported. To import Steam games into the "Steam" platform, go to Tools < Manage < Storefronts.... Click the gear icon to the right of Steam and select Set Import Platform and type in Steam. Click OK and click Close. To move e.g. Wolfenstein games to a different platform, select those games in the [now] Steam platform. Press Ctrl+E to start the Bulk Edit Wizard. For the Field, select Platform. For the Value, type in Wolfenstein. Click Next. Next. Click Yes, I would like to migrate my media. Click No, I would not like to make more changes.

[try] Look in /LaunchBox/Videos/Windows/Trailer/. If there are videos in there, move them to /LaunchBox/Videos/Steam/Trailer/.

May want to check the Downloads section. Though it says "Genesis", there is some Mega Drive stuff mixed in there. Sega Genesis - LaunchBox Community Forums

Thanks for letting me know. Arcade-History has readded the "Verify you are human" feature to their webpage, making it impossible to check/download updates via code. Even with all the AI shtuff going on, code is still "not human". So you will need to check/download history.xml manually, as a human. To check for and download history.xml updates: Open your web browser to https://www.arcade-history.com/index.php?page=download Once 'verified', click Download Ver. 2.xx (where "xx" is the updated version number) Once downloaded, open the zip file Go into the zips history folder Extract (copy) history.xml into the plugins Data folder, replacing the existing file e.g. D:\LaunchBox\Plugins\MAMEdatsViewer\Data\history.xml

(pretty sure) The default images in the Game Details panel for both Last and Most Played 1st looks for Background images, then Screenshots. Verify that your last played game has a Background ["category"] image. The "Banner" you're seeing might actually be a "Fanart-Background" image (as Banner is not a default selected type under Backgrounds). You can see/change what image types fall under "Background" via Tools < Options < Media < Background Priorities.
