With Steam games (and others that use a 'launcher' for the game) you run into a nigh impossible situation. Here, LaunchBox is launching Steam which it (LB) sees it as "the game". Steam then launches the "actual game" and [the launcher] goes away. As far as LaunchBox knows, the "game" has exited when the launcher does go away. For this same reason, you'll never see the Shutdown Screen for games using a launcher (unless you exit the actual game right after it opened). If you're ok with no Startup Themes, that's fine. Myself, I'd go with a happy medium value. If the games ready to play but I have to wait another 2-4 seconds to "see" it because other games take longer to load, whatever. If you have one game in particular that takes a lot longer than most, well... that's what the manual override is there for.

For games that don't use a [traditional] emulator such as Steam, you can override the startup time on a per game basis or Bulk Edit the games and set them all at once. To bulk edit them, select all your Steam games (e.g. in the Windows platform, click one then press Ctrl+A) then press Ctrl+E to start the Bulk Edit Wizard. For the Field select Startup Screen - Enabled and check the box. When prompted for more changes, select Yes, I would like to make more changes. For the Field, select Startup Screen - Load Delay. Then adjust the value accordingly.

You can't nest a playlist under a playlist. What you're wanting to do is create a Platform Category in which you can nest playlists under it (and even other platform categories under that).

It might help to show a screenshot of the applicable Event Viewer log entry so as to not have more confusion (e.g. 13.8 vs. 13.18, and corecls.dll vs. coreclr.dll) Attaching the log file (from /LaunchBox/Logs/) may be helpful for the developers (the ones who are familiar with reading those ) as well.

What version of Window are you running? Version 13.8 was the last version to work with Windows 7.

You can add the auto-generated Arcade Playlists after-the-fact by: Switch to Platform Category view Expand the Arcade Category In the category, right-click the Arcade Platform Select Create Missing Arcade/MAME Playlists Note: this is a Premium Feature And if you want even more... There another option in the right-click menu called Auto-Generate Child Playlists, which "allows you to generate child playlists for All Games, Favorites, Genres, Regions, Play Modes, Developers, and/or Publishers and optionally put them in child categories."

It's because you have emulation enabled. So it's trying to pass the script to RSPC3. Go to the Emulation section for the game and uncheck Use Emulator.

The script looks like it's missing a few things.

When you select multiple game then go to Tools < Download < Update Metadata and Media for Selected Games..., you want to leave checked Search for game information in the local metadata database (recommended). On the next screen (and 2 if you have an EmuMovies account) select the image you want to download. Then select Yes, but do not replace any existing fields or media (recommended). And Finish. This will only update the games you selected.

When you multi selected games, did you then try Tools - Download Metadata and Media for selected games? When you Add a new game (2nd screenshot), to find images, the games need to have an associated LaunchBox Database ID. It would show in the Metadata section of your 3rd screenshot.

The Default Theme has "built-in" fallback images that it looks for. Steam Screenshot Epic Games Screenshot GOG Screenshot Amazon Screenshot Origin Screenshot Backgrounds Screenshot - Gameplay You can change (add or remove or re-prioritize) the Background Image Priorities under Tool - Options. (This is where you might add Arcade-Marquees). It's hard coded into the theme. But has an easy work-around. Make a copy of the \LaunchBox\LBThemes\Default\ folder In your "copied" folder, open the file \Views\GameDetailsView.xaml with any text editor Look for <!-- TOP BORDER OVERLAY --> Delete it and the next line Save and close Open LaunchBox Set the Theme to-use to the "copied" folder Theme Name (which may be "Default - Copy") Instead of editing that file, you might be able just delete the image file \LaunchBox\LBThemes\Default - Copy\Images\Overlay.png. I don't know if simply deleting image file will throw an error or not. But editing the xaml will for sure work. Regardless, you will need to make a copy of the Themes folder in order to make any changes or file deletions.

I say, fix the games only as you play them. Then wait for 0.279 (when hopefully it'll be fixed).

As I understand it, Legacy is all the migrated images. And Nostalgic has the LB defaults. Not knowing if a person is using the Legacy pack, or imported and is using a different one, it's easier to say to put them in the Nostalgic location. Which also acts as the Fallback location "to look in".

Just put 'em here \LaunchBox\Images\Media Packs\Platform Icons\Nostalgic Platform Icons\ in the corresponding sub folder:

It changed. LaunchBox Media Pack Feature – Version 13.21 - LaunchBox

You can essentially do that by enabling backups. Tools < Options < Data < Backups

(I'm guessing you're meaning /LaunchBox/Emulators/RetroArch/) No. It's not. If for some reason it truly is missing on yours, then I'm surprised RA even opens. As in it's probably a corrupt install. If that's the case, have LaunchBox reinstall it for you in Tools - Manage Emulators. Otherwise, right-click a game using RA and follow the red boxes...

Unless they changed things, should be able to install them the way they were done before. In RetroArch: Main Menu - Online Updater - Update Cheats

Those default image locations changed in version 13.21 with the added Media Pack Feature. That may be Theme dependent or an available override (either just for 'that' theme or for themes in general). Here's more information regarding the Media Pack Feature from The LaunchBox Strategy Guide. LaunchBox Media Pack Feature – Version 13.21 - LaunchBox

Sounds like a settings issue somewhere. Can you share some screenshots of how you have things setup in LaunchBox. Specifically: Edit your Supermodel emulator (in LaunchBox) and show: The main Details section The Associated Platforms section Edit a game (in LaunchBox) that's failing and show: The Launching section The Emulation section

If it's of any consequence, and in the spirit of staying away from using technical terms as requested in your other post; Unless you've told Mesen to not check for updates (by default, it does check), when you go to launch a game and there is an update available, the emulator will notify you and can install it for you. Granted, it does "get in the way" when you just want to play a game. But in a way, it does beat having to periodically go into Manage -Emulators to check and if there is an update.

Sounds like a settings issue somewhere. Can you share some screenshots of how you have things setup in LaunchBox.

Double check that in the Associated Platforms section, for that platform, that it's un-checked there as well.
