Did some hands-on testing and learned a few things... Using -c (scummvm.ini): If you start ScummVM without "scummvm.ini" in the same folder as the exe, it will be created in %AppData%. And save states etc. will be saved there as well. If you use the -c parameter (or --config= ), regardless of what you set it to, Saves will be saved into the %AppData% folder. Unless you use the --savepath= parameter as well. Same with --logfile= and anything else that gets saved to disc. If you start ScummVM with "scummvm.ini" in the same folder as the exe, and no -c parameter, everything gets saved in a "portable" fashion. Using -p: When launching a game with the -p parameter, ScummVM will see it as a "new game" but still identify it (monkey2) correctly. But it will then suffix the "new games" id with -1. And since the scummvm.ini file doesn't contain a specific section for "[monkey2-1]", no custom settings you originally made will load. This 'suffix thing' is the same with save states. If you manually edit the scummvm.ini and copy/paste the [monkey2] section and rename it [monkey2-1], upon launching with -p, ScummVM will again, find a "new game". This time suffixing it with -2. ...We call this an uphill battle. The Fix: I tried this, that and the other thing to be able to load the saved game-specific settings and nothing worked. Except 1. Open ScummVM Select the game you made specific changes to (Monkey Island 2) Click Game Options Make note of the ID (monkey2) Close ScummVM In LaunchBox, edit the game In the Emulation section check the box Use Custom Command-line Parameters In the space below it, put -f monkey2 %noromfile% (if you prefer, you can change -f to --fullscreen. Same thing.) Click OK to save and close Wash, rinse and repeat for other games you've made custom settings for Play games Final Note: With that, you can revert the emulators Default Command-Line Parameters to -p %romfile% --auto-detect --fullscreen. (removing the -c config parameter)

Sounds like (possibly)... your local database file is over 24 hours[ish] old. So, it will 1st download (update) your local database file. It may then do an integrity check of the download but then load the file into memory. At that point the metadata begins to import. If you go to do another metadata import on the same day, it should start it right away. To circumvent this "several minute" delay, before importing new metadata [on a new day] go to Tools < Download and select Force Update Games Database Metadata... This may be more psychosomatic than actually being "faster", but feels faster.

(side note) If you have LaunchBox install or update ScummVM for you, during this process, LaunchBox will create an empty "scummvm.ini" file in the emulators folder (if one doesn't exist there). Making ScummVM portable. With that, if your settings were originally all saved under %AppData% and you had LB update the emulator, the 'older' setting are not copied over. This however does not explain why when launched outside on LaunchBox, the specific settings load. But not, when launched from within LaunchBox. Unless the testing is inadvertently being done between 2 separate installs of ScummVM.

Can you share some screenshots? Edit your ScummVM emulator (in LaunchBox) and show The main Details section The Associated Platforms section Edit your Monkey Island 2 game and show The Launching section The Emulation section

Did you ever find a resolution to this? (asking a year and a half later 😊) My GUN4IR is enroute and I'm going to want to do the same thing: switch between Fullscreen and 4:3, game/emulator pending. I think the losing focus issue can be resolved be setting the (4) Run commands to run minimized. (Won't know until mine arrives and I set it up) e.g. Run, %COMSPEC% /C echo M3.1 > COM4,,Min

From the Purchase link, under the FAQ's: Here, "LaunchBox" meaning LaunchBox and Big Box. If you wish to reinstall the last version your license is valid for [to maintain all the premium features that version offers], you can reinstall it from that version's setup file located in your /LaunchBox/Updates/ folder. If you no longer have access to that file, you can email support@unbrokensoftware.com and they should be able to help you out. (with the appropriate setup file and your license.xml file)

At the top of this page, click Premium and then select Lost Your License?.

If you edit e.g. Double Switch, in the Images section does it have any images? Are any one of those of type "Box 3D" or "Screenshot"?

Looks like they got it working the other day as shown here:

Good to hear. Rumor has it, LB's latest 13.26 now includes FinalBurn Neo importing. Haven't checked it out myself though.

I think I fixed it. Try v0.1.0 in the OP. Curious, what's your use-case for using this plugin? (beyond "because it's there." ) Are you doing custom imports into separate Platforms (e.g. "Tetris" or "Sega Model 3")? Using this as an alternate to the Full MAME Arcade Import Wizard? Don't like the Wizards filtering? Use it because it has a super cool looking UI? Again, just curious.

Can you share your xml file? You can just drag & drop the file here (do NOT paste the contents of the file). This way I can see 1st hand where I need to fix it.

What are the 6 sub processes it has going? Idle, it should have only 2. In the past (and may have been a long time ago), I've seen 4. But never 6. An aside, MalwareBytes may not be helping any.

-f -g?

Different emulator than the subject topic. But for Citra, you can: Start citra-qt.exe Under View options, check Fullscreen Exit Citra

Manually type it in. It should appear there (once a game is added to it) by default since it's scraped as Arcade. If not, edit the platform and in the Parents tab check the Box for the Category you want it to show under.

For those who don't use MAMEUI, and just want to "see" the ones available in MAME: All handheld games found in MAME (1426) All "Working" handheld games in MAME (477) Although, these are not sorted by manufacturers.
