    As long as their directly (or at least very closely) related to the topic Request, by all means, do add them.

    Either you've logged onto the database or the feedback site(s) before, or someone else already used your name. As you can see by mine, I had to through 244 iterations before I found one that was already taken. In case you had long on before, isn't there an option on for Forgot Password?

    According to my notes...

    If this is in line with what you're thinking, may want to give it an upvote. Add a Community Ports, Recomps and Decomps Manager - LaunchBox

    In Windows Explorer, navigate to your \LaunchBox\Images\Arcade\ folder. Delete the 5 "Cart" related folders. Repeat in your other Arcade related platforms. Then in Big Box, you might need to refresh the image cache. System Menu < Options < Image Cache < Refresh All Images Then in the future, don't download any cart related images for you Arcade platforms. (for reference, the cart shown in your screenshot will be in the Fanart - Cart - Front folder)

    In LaunchBox, go to Tools < Options < Media < 3D Box Priorities Check the box Arcade - Cabinet Click Move Selected Up so that it is the top one on the list (above Box - 3D) Since you non-Arcade platforms won't have Cabinet images, this won't affect them. For your Arcade-type platforms, what's showing there now? Because I wouldn't think you'd have any Cart - Front Fanart - Cart - Front Disc Fanart - Disc images for those platfroms. (these are the default image priorities for Cart - Front)

    Thanks for your testing and patience. After mulling over the code and trying this, that and the other thing, I've come to the conclusion that it's not worth my time and effort to get it to work. With the advent of "smarter game startup and shutdown screen handling" introduced in LaunchBox v14.0, this plugin is no longer reasonably maintainable (usable?). Another issue with using this plugin is that game "Play Time" is not properly kept. This was just recently brought to my attention and [in retrospect] has been the case since this plugin was 1st introduced in December 2023. This leaves you with 3 options: 1) Revert to using LB v13.27. 2) Use an alternate means of applying bezels to emulators that don't natively support them. 3) Don't use bezels. #1 is not an acceptable solution as you miss out on all the goodness LaunchBox has to offer with subsequent releases. One possible means for #2 is to use ReShade. Later I will provide instructions for setting up ReShade that doesn't require it to be "installed" onto your system. A sort of "portable" install, as it were.

    After launching the game, let it actually run for like 10 seconds or more. Just like you would if you were to play the game. See if that makes a difference.
  9. JoeViking245
    Can you try it the startup screen disabled? Earlier you indicated you weren't using startup screens, so that's mostly what I focused on.
  10. JoeViking245
    What exactly happens when it "crashes"? LB crashes? Is there an error? Does it freeze/lock-up? Does LB just close? Can you share the log file from the plugin's Logs folder.
  11. JoeViking245
    If you haven't done so already, you may want to check the integrity of the drive the images are being stored on. chkdsk something-something comes to mind.

    Close LaunchBox Delete the folder /LaunchBox/System/Plugins/RetroAchievements/ Start LaunchBox Re-enable the plugin (Tools-Manage-Plugins)

    Did a bunch of this, that and the other thing. Though I changed stuff, not sure if it'll react the same for you. For me, the emulator comes up so fast, it's hard to tell. Please let me know if you see any changes (good or bad) and we'll see where we can go from there. 😊 BezelLauncher (v2.2.2-beta-3).7z

    No personal interest ('cause I don't stream) or questions, but a suggestion [which you didn't ask for any ]. It may feel more intuitive to, instead of selecting from the Tools menu, right-click 'the game' and select the plugin from there.
  15. JoeViking245
    What exactly is "Denver" that you're referring to?
  16. JoeViking245
    According to my logs, the "Background Window" (black screen) is being created, but I'm net seeing it either. And after testing about 30-40 times, now I can't get the emulator to display behind the bezel. It's like the bezel doesn't have a transparent center area. (I probably have something else going on with all the different apps I started and shutdown today. And may need to just restart the PC.) But I noticed it was also having issues when using startup screens. Ugh. (hopefully it's related to the just-need-to-restart) I'll see if I can dig into the black-background-not-showing more sometime this week.
  17. JoeViking245
    Ah, using it with other platforms/emulators. That makes a bit more sense. Apologies. Missed the change in use. To clarify: - You checked the "use the black screen option" (which should be the Hide Game Startup (g)) - You also checked "have the delay of 4 seconds checked" (aka Longer Sleep (l)) And everything is working. It's just that right after launching a game, you see LaunchBox behind the bezel before the emulator window get resized and focused behind the bezel. Correct? Do you have Startup Screens enabled? If not, I'll have to do some checking. Not sure I've ever tried it without the Startup Screens. If you do have the Startup Screens enabled, it's possible that the changes recently made to them may be affecting the plugin. You might try playing with the Startup Screen settings for the emulators. - Check or un-check "Hide All Windows..." - Check or un-check Automatically close the startup screen..." - Adjust the "Post-Launch Display Time"

    Not sure why you'd repeat something that was stated in the provided Solution. But agreed it's notable. Not sure why you'd repeat something that was stated in the provided Solution. But agreed it's notable as well. Not bad advice. But note, if you have Backups enabled in LaunchBox, which it is by default, you'd already have this covered and have the ability to restore a backed-up xml file. Just in case.

    Not sure how you got it to work with the batch files. Oh... you're talking about ReShade? I haven't really used it that much and it's been quite a while. You may try asking around on their Discord.
  20. JoeViking245
    Not sure either. But if by chance it is, it'd probably be best to post this in the beta thread.
  21. JoeViking245
    This plugin needs an emulator assigned [directly] to the games (in LaunchBox) to work with. Since your games use a batch file, they 'don't have an emulator' that the plugin sees. aka, this plugin can't work with batch files. If the batch files all point to a common executable file, you may be able to use ReShade to add a bezel. You may also try asking on eXoDOS's discord to see if/how others add bezels.
  22. JoeViking245
    100% on both of these! (at least for LaunchBox. Didn't test in Big Box) Thank you!
  23. JoeViking245
    Cool! That works. I imagine it gets setup just like any other emulator. Just follow the instructions under Setting up on the main page. The only thing needed for the emulator is to make sure it's not set to fullscreen. And if you can't change that, you can try what I suggested a couple posts back. But before you go into too much trouble creating your bezel, you may want to try setting up using a bezel you already have from a different platform. Just to make sure it'll even work with eXoDOS.
  24. JoeViking245
    At a quick glance, those are all "TV" bezels, and you want a computer monitor looking bezel. As for sourcing bezels, I think you just need to search Google. There may be some here in the Downloads section. Not sure. I don't really use bezels myself, so not really sure of any good places to look for some. Maybe someone who comes across this thread has one (or a couple) they can share.
  25. JoeViking245
    You can add to the command-line parameters --fullscreen.
