BezelLauncher
JoeViking245 replied to JoeViking245's topic in Third-Party Applications and Plugins (Released)
In the Settings (for Dolphin, for the platform), make sure option (g) is checked. Be sure to click Save afterwards. I see what you're talking about. There's some on the left side also, but gray (at least in my photo editor [after downloading the images] there is). Arrows show start/stop. I assume the avatar and "P1" are part of the bezel as well? My guess is it's an artifact on the bezel image. I say that because the plugin doesn't inject any extracurricular images at all. Can you open your bezel image (like with Windows Photos, Paint or Gimp) and see if they're there? Or share the file here? -
You should be able to use this in the Running Script $Esc:: WinClose, ahk_exe {{{StartupEXE}}}

Would you care to share how you did it so that in the future, someone can reference a better solution?

When the torrent app opens, there should something about saving the torrent file. Or it's saved automatically somewhere within the apps folder structure (or somewhere in %appdata%?).

No. I can only speculate. Maybe the method in which the platform was created? Tools - Manage Platforms - Add new... Tools - Import ROMs [into platform that didn't exist yet] Add ROMs to /LaunchBox/Games/[platform_name]/ - auto-import ROMs/create platform Drag/Drop ROMs onto LaunchBox - Import ROMs [into platform that didn't exist yet] (...just to name a few possibilities) Or, mark it up to a glitch in the matrix, the fix was easy, and you won't have to look back at those 2 platforms' hierarchy again. That said, if you do happen to come across this again, and can deduce a method ('the method') in which this occurs [and how/when it doesn't?], please do let us know.

BezelLauncher
JoeViking245 replied to JoeViking245's topic in Third-Party Applications and Plugins (Released)
You're welcome. Well, this is a first. Can't say that I've ever heard of an emulator or bezel app that purposefully places the bezel on a layer below the game. To help me try to understand your request, I searched for how other apps accomplish this, e.g. through their settings. All I could find was how to fix the erroneous bezel appearing below the game. With the amount of time spent creating checks and balances and checks to check the checks and balances balancing the other balances, just to make sure the bezel stays on top, I'm disinclined to acquest to your request. You might try something like ReShade and see if it can do what you're after. -
You should never need to run LaunchBox as admin. Doing so can cause issues such as this. There are also some behind-the-scenes things LaunchBox does that if ran as Admin, it can't do. That said, it's not recommended to run LaunchBox as admin. If an emulator insists it needs to be ran as admin, it's time to find a different emulator.

RetroAchievement Game Direct-Links View File Inspired by @AstroBob's Feature Request https://feedback.launchbox.gg/p/retroachievements-icon-and-link-in-game-details-pane This plugin will add an Additional Application to your games that will appear as a clickable link in the Game Details panel which directly links to that game on retroachievements.org. If using @C-Beats Omni theme, this plugin [mostly**] fulfills this request. (**just not innately) It works in the Default theme as well. Just appears differently in the Game Details panel. This plugin is able to accomplish this without the need to Add RetroAchievements Game Page ID to LaunchBox Games Database. Installing: Extract the contents of the zip file into /LaunchBox/Plugins/ e.g. D:\LaunchBox\Plugins\RetroAchievementLinks\RetroAchievementLinks.dll Using: Click Tools and select Add RetroAchievement Game Links In the window that opens, select Add Additional Apps. The plugin will scan each game in your collection for a game-specific RetroAchievements Id. If found, an Additional Application and will be created for that game, named RetroAchievements. The Application Path will be the hyperlink to that game on retroachievements.org. e.g. https://retroachievements.org/game/1003 When done, a message box will appear indicating as much. Depending on your PC and the size of your collection, this could take 2 - 30 seconds to complete. If at some point you wish to remove these Additional Apps, click Delete Additional Apps. The plugin will scan each game in your collection for an Additional App called RetroAchievements. If found, it will attempt to remove it. Note: If, for whatever reason a game already has an Additional App named RetroAchievements, it will not add a 2nd one of the same name. On that same note, if you click Delete Additional Apps, ALL Additional Apps named RetroAchievements will be removed. Submitter JoeViking245 Submitted 11/25/2025 Category Third-party Apps and Plugins

How to Add Startup Video to Latest Bigbox November 2025?
JoeViking245 replied to robodan79's topic in Troubleshooting
Sounds like a Windows thing. I've had this happen with my IPAC-2 in the past. My fix was to unplug extra-curricular USB plugs (all except the IPAC and maybe a mouse), then start the PC, then plug the others back in. -
Try force downloading the update. Tools < Download < Force Update Games Database Metadata...

Just tested, and yes, that works. Thanks -
Gopher 64 full screen launch for launchbox
JoeViking245 replied to phisch's topic in Troubleshooting
Not sure if there is one. Plan "B": Edit the emulator (in LaunchBox) and in the Running Script section, add WinWaitActive, ahk_exe gopher64-windows-x86_64.exe send !{Enter} ;fullscreen [toggle] -
Duckstation: prevent gui from showing when booting game?
JoeViking245 replied to Jayinem's topic in Troubleshooting
To help circumvent any potential "rumors", current production of the 2 emulators are not from the same developers. The UI's are similar because they use QT something-or-another. I think Dolphin and some others use that as well. Glad to hear you got it working. -
Duckstation: prevent gui from showing when booting game?
JoeViking245 replied to Jayinem's topic in Troubleshooting
This is what I have and is working here. Check that you have the startup screen enabled. That's the point (well, one of them) of startup screens. To hide the flash of potential UI's. -
@Drodrik @Klopjero Thought I'd take a stab at this. I don't personally use these/this, so if anything's wonky feel free to let me know and I'll see what I can do. Doomworld Scraper Redux What's different from the original plugin (some housekeeping) This version will remove the following Custom Fields (if they exist from a previous run of the original plugin): "doomworld:description" It's already set in the games Notes "doomworld:title" It's already set as the games Title "doomworld:author" It's already set as the games Developer "doomworld:url" Will Add an Additional App that can be seen/clicked in the game Details panel creates a DoomWorld direct LINK (if found) to that game "doomworld:textfile" Will Add an Additional App that can be seen/clicked in the game Details panel creates TextFile direct LINK (if found) to the games [online] text file "Close matches" can be gone through AFTER importing all the exact matches.** Save reported output/log to a text file for later viewing **If a game didn't find an exact match and it has one or more possible ("fuzzy") matches, after completing the Search, a Look at Fuzzy Matches button will show. This will open a window in which you can optionally import metadata from a "close match" for those games. Installing: If you have @Nielk1's plugin in your /LaunchBox/Plugins/ folder, move/delete it 1st. Extract the contents of the attached zip into /LaunchBox/Plugins/. e.g. D:/Launchox/Plugins/DoomworldScraper/DoomworldScraper.dll If you have placed your own metadata for these games and you don't have it enabled already, you should enable backups, exit then restart LaunchBox (to create a backup) before running this plugin (In case you don't like the results). Tools < Options < Data < Backups Using: Select your game(s) then click Tools and select Doomworld Scraper Redux Click Begin Search to: scan your games against Doomworld add custom fields and additional apps to matching games (Optional) After scraping click Save output to text file. This will create "output.txt" and is saved in the plugins folder. Subsequent clicks will overwrite the file with whatever's in the output screen. After saving, a text file icon will appear which you can click to view the text file. (Optional) If shown, click the Look at Fuzzy Matches button. Click on a game Click through the possible matches If you see one you like Click Apply to add the custom fields and additional apps to the game When completed (takes about 100 milliseconds), "Done" will appear Wash, rinse and repeat for other games Click Close when done DoomworldScraperRedux (v1.0.0).7z

Right-click the platform and select Edit. Go to the Parents tab and uncheck Root (leaving just the Consoles (Category) box checked). Click OK to save and close.

I don't have this emulator setup on my system. I'm hoping @Jabb3rJaw (or someone else in-the-know) can maybe look at them and see if anything stands out. If no one chimes in with any ideas, I can try sometime this week to set it up, see what happens and report back here.

Can you share a few screenshots? In LaunchBox, edit the emulator and share a screenshot of the main Details section the Associated Platforms section Still in LaunchBox, edit a game you're trying to launch and share a screenshot of the Launching section the Emulation section (Four screenshots total)
