  1. I imagine so. I don't normally emulate this console, so honestly haven't looked at it in a long time. Asking me about something from 2 years ago is also a big ask. That said, just ran a game and everything seems to work as expected. Here's what I got: Cemu v2.6 (a subsequent update from the original v2.0-65 I tested with 2 years ago) In the emulator itself, I have Remember main window position un-checked. I'm not sure if this is required for anything as I open the emulator fullscreen via the command-line parameters anyway. In LaunchBox, the notable emulator settings are: Default Command-line Parameters -f -g Pause Screen section All 3 boxes are checked (required to have LB's Pause Menu show) Running Script section $Esc::WinClose, ahk_exe {{{StartupEXE}}} This exits the game/emulator via my LB Exit Game controller mapping (as well as pressing Escape) and also exits it from the Pause Menu. Reading back in this thread, there was some discussion about running something-or-another as Admin. Don't do that!
  2. Glad you worked it out. For reference, The Exit Script is for exiting from the Pause Menu. The Running Script section is, as you've found, what you're looking for.
  3. Make sure the badge is named after the plugins’ Unique Id name that you gave it. The image then needs to go into \LaunchBox\Images\Media Packs\Badges\Nostalgic Platform Badges\ folder. Similar to what I mentioned above. And also where you should also see your year-2025 badge images. This is because when the new Media Packs were implemented, LB copied those images from the old location to the new. Subsequent custom badges that get added don't/won't show [until you manually copy/move them]. You might be able to install v13.20, add you Custom Badges [verify they're working as expected], then update that to 13.26. Or, just copy them as described above. This is [still] a known bug since v13.21. Though a bug report had been created quite a while back, it was never made public as it was "awaiting approval from the admins". Just now went to see if there were any updates, but can't seem to locate my initial report. [see above for 'the assist']

  5. Yup. It's broken again. Thanks for letting me know.
  6. Looks like this plugin will scrape from there.
  7. 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.

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.

Without Ray's support, guidance and testing, I most likely would have never created this. As always, all thoughts, views, suggestions, comments are welcome.
  9. 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.
  10. 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?
  11. That all looks good too. Does the game work when you load it directly from the emulator?
  12. 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
  13. 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
  14. 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?
  15. 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
  16. 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.
  17. 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.
  18. 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\.
  19. 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)?
  20. 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
  21. 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.
  22. 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.
  23. 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.
