Is there any way to get the torrent file? I have a NAS that has a torrent app. I'd prefer to have it downloaded to my NAS instead of my laptop. Currently it opens the torrent app instead of downloading a file.
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%?).

Any ideas of why these two platforms also showed up in Root? Never seen that behavior before
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.

Thank you so much for creating this plugin it's exactly what I was looking for! Would it be possible to allow the game to go over/be infront of the bezel? I use a universal border for all my games and prefer my image to go over the border instead of be adjusted to fit inside of it.
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.

DOes anyone has same issue? It seems that there are a lot of my videos that now don't work anymore. All my videos are .mp4 and my default player is VLC (latest 3.0.21).
Thank you
The latest 2 versions of LaunchBox does not use VLC. Double check which version of LaunchBox you have and which player you're using (Tools < Options < General < Video Playback). If the one selected isn't working, try the other.

do you think it is better not to run LB and BB as Admin?
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.

How are you launching Ryujinx from LaunchBox? Direct to the exe file? or via a batch file?
Are you running LaunchBox as Admin?

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.dllUsing:
Click Tools and select Add RetroAchievement Game LinksIn 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.
- 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.

Now my keyboard mappings don’t work with my i-Pac2. I try to re-do them, but does not detect my control panel buttons; only the keyboard. WTH!?
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.

I am having this same issue. Games auto import, but the media (box art etc) will not download automatically. I have the settings set per the comments above, but no luck. Manually downloading works, but I don't want to deal with that with every import.

[...] note a couple of specific platforms and that they worked before.
Also note what version of LaunchBox you are using.

Not sure if there is one.

It's just a bit odd that I think Duckstation and PCSX 2 are made by the same devs (or at least the guis look almost identical)
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.

So I am curious if there's a solution to the GUI showing of Duckstation when booting game?
This is what I have and is working here.
25 minutes ago, Jayinem said:Admittedly it doesn't show it very long it just flashes but for me the whole point of using Launchbox outside of PC games is to treat emulator games like they're PC games.
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.

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.dllIf 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 ReduxClick 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

Hello JoeViking245 and thanks for your help, here are the 4 screenshots you asked for.
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.

Hello, I tried to set the application path to this exe and it's worse. I obtain a black screen with a white frame inside and nothing happens. I tried with variable -f and -g
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)

Hello, Jabb3Jaw, unfortunately I tried your settings and it doesn't works for me. Thanks for your help.
Haven't tested any games, but try setting the Application Path to citron-cmd.exe (vs. citron.exe).
Here's the variables that can be passed to it:
-c, --config Load the specified configuration file -f, --fullscreen Start in fullscreen mode -g, --game File path of the game to load -h, --help Display this help and exit -m, --multiplayer=nick:password@address:port Nickname, password, address and port for multiplayer -p, --program Pass following string as arguments to executable -u, --user Select a specific user profile from 0 to 7 -v, --version Output version information and exit -

Fixed it
Created game called shutdown with batch file to shutdown under a dos game option, then removed the "Run as Dos"
Nice!!! I wonder if in the prior one, was the Additional App removed? eh... Doesn't matter.
Glad you got it working!

Thanks Joe
That worked I can now shutdown Launchbox and my PC without right clicking the Shutdown Icon.
But the problem I still have is when I reboot my PC and run Launchbox the Shutdown Games Icon is gone, nothing is saved.
Launchbox also doesn't save any changes if I exit launchbox via the normal exit menu.
Glad to hear it (mostly) worked.
Sounds like what's happening is LaunchBox is being forced closed and changes aren't being saved.
The process: When you close LaunchBox (normally), the UI will close and [hiding] in the background, LaunchBox saves any changes you made.
Theory: When you close LaunchBox, you don't want to "see" it so you can "go about your other business". Changes you made are saved (again, in the background) for when you next start LaunchBox.
The fix: Don't do it that way.
Alternate: Use Big Box and then you can shut down the PC from its System Menu. System Menu < Shut Down.
Plan "B": Use a batch file start LaunchBox:
- start LB
- (you play games or whatever)
- you exit LB normally
- it waits for LB background processes to finish
- then shuts down the PC.
@echo off cd "D:\LaunchBox" start "" "LaunchBox.exe" :waitloop tasklist /FI "IMAGENAME eq LaunchBox.exe" | find /I "LaunchBox.exe" >nul if not errorlevel 1 ( timeout /t 2 >nul goto waitloop ) rem start your shutdown process here rem shutdown -s -fChange line #2 to your LaunchBox location.
The commented out "shutdown" line will shut down (-s) the PC and force close (-f) any lingering apps (so it doesn't get hung up) and does not require it to be ran as Administrator (assuming you're logged on as Admin on your PC). Or at least that's supposed to work that way.
"shutdown -s -f" NOT TESTED BY ME!
You can create a shortcut to 'this' batch file and set Run to Minimized to get the Command Prompt window out of the way.

Can you send me finals files for to try please ?
My directories are this :
Games bin in subfolders games -> C:\Users\PC Mark\Desktop\PS2 Test
Output ISO games -> C:\Users\PC Mark\Desktop\PS2 Test\PS2ISO
PowerISO -> C:\Program Files\PowerISO\piso.exe
Thanks
As stated, you just need to add the one line (plus "pause" so you can see the results before the Command Window closes)
for %%f in (*.bin) do ("C:\Program Files\PowerISO\piso.exe" convert "%%f" -o "%%~nf.iso") pauseto a text file and save it as a batch file (.bat). Just like you did previously.
Put this file in the same folder as your ROM files and run (double-click) it.
Then move the newly created .iso files (in that same folder) to wherever you want.

by right clicking and selecting Additional App the shutdown batch file works and closes launchbox.
Ahh... Since this is "its own game", instead of adding an Additional App to itself, you want the Application Path to be in the games Launching section.
Then remove the Additional App.
Also, in the Emulation section (3 below Launching), be sure that Use an emulator to play this game (primarily for console games) is un-checked.
