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.

I wasn't discounting that at all. My point was the appreciation of the time we all spend making our LaunchBox collection the most enjoyable it can be. Then when new features like this come about, even more time is spent. But the outcome makes playing that much more fun.

Nice. Considering the time it took to create the backups of your personal collection, 7-9 hours is a drop-in-the-bucket.

Sounds like a Apple/Macintosh file naming convention.

Did you actually start the 'game' directly from Xemu before exiting? Because it's not indicating a file (game) was started. Sure you are. You noticed the commas. Edit your KOF 2003 game in LB that you're testing with and verify the path (and more so, the filename) to the ROM in the Launching section. King of Fighters 2003,, The (USA,, Japan).iso vs. King of Fighters 2003, The (USA, Japan).iso

To help determine what's going on, in LaunchBox can you share some screenshots: - edit your emulator (in LaunchBox) and share a screenshot of - the Details section - and the Associated Platforms section. - edit [just] one of the games not launching from LB and share a screenshot of - Launching section

Try... Run KOF 2003 directly through Xemu. Exit In your Xemu emulator folder rename the file xemu.log to [something like] xemu-direct.log Launch KOF 2003 from LB Exit [the game] In your Xemu emulator folder rename the [the new] xemu.log file to [something like] xemu-LB.log Compare the 2 files and see what (if anything) is different You'll probably want to break down the 1st line**, as it's one long arse line. And can probably ignore the lines below it after comparing (at least) the 2 "xemu_settings_get...." lines. ** break down to something readable. e.g. Created QEMU launch parameters: D:\LaunchBox\Emulators\Xemu\xemu.exe -machine xbox,bootrom=D:\LaunchBox\Emulators\Xemu\bios\mcpx_1.0.bin,kernel-irqchip=off,avpack=hdtv -device smbus-storage,file=D:\LaunchBox\Emulators\Xemu\eeprom.bin -bios D:\LaunchBox\Emulators\Xemu\bios\complex_4627v1.03.bin -m 64 -drive index=0,media=disk,file=D:\LaunchBox\Emulators\Xemu\saves\xbox_hdd.qcow2,locked=on -drive index=1,media=cdrom,file=D:\LaunchBox\Games\Microsoft Xbox\Disney's The Haunted Mansion (USA).iso -display xemu -device usb-hub,port=1,ports=4 -full-screen

It looks like you might have 2 spaces in Vol. 1 (could be wrong). Try adding a space [also] for Vol. 2. That way you should have the first 3 'correct' and then look at their order. Currently, the sort order appears correct because a {space} (e.g. {space}10) does come before an alphanumeric character (e.g. {no-space}2).

He was referring to setting the Sort Title for the games. But looking at your screenshot, your game Titles are different than what you said they were in your OP. ACA NEOGEO Selection Vol. 1 ACA NEOGEO Selection Vol.1 You screenshot has no space between Vol. and 1, giving you a different type of sort order. So you have (at least) 2 options. You can set the Sort Title as C-Beats mentioned. Or you can change the games actual Title similar to what you mentioned, but just add a space instead.

[devil's advocate] Would you do the same with pdf's? vs. [both of these] having their respective reader apps installed on your system. Granted, having them 'installed' would negate the portability aspect of LB/BB. Devil be damned. So your request would/could be, (something like...) when loading the Pause Menu, have LB look at the Additional Apps Application Path's file extension to determine if it should be added to the Menu (like it currently does). But then if the Additional App uses an emulator, don't negate it based on that. But rather look at the ROM Path's (which was called the Application Path before checking Use Emulator) file extension and proceed accordingly.

Additional Apps that are executables ([with the exception of batch files] or use an emulator) are considered Alternate Versions. To expand on the Feature Request, you'd need a checkbox [or something] to distinguish between it being an Alternate Version, or otherwise. From some old notes.... Additional Apps that show in Game Details .txt .pdf .cbr .cbz .html docx https//..../ http//..../ According to this list, you can add your comic book zip files as Additional Apps to appear in at least in the games Details Panel. As we discovered earlier, .txt files won't show in the Pause Menu. And this may simply be an oversight. [tested] .docx (MS Word docs) won't appear there either. So the cbr and cbx most likely won't either. We do that web links will appear in the Pause Menu. Personally, I'm still not sold on having batch files in the Pause Menu is a means to an end. But someone in need making a Feature Request to add txt, cbr/cbz files to it seems quite reasonable. Also, keep in mind, the number of the added documents to the Pause Menu is limited to the available real-estate in its UI. So do you add an additional checkbox to show/not-show in the Pause Menu?
