K, that's the PowerShell script (vs. a batch file script) and needs to be saved as a .ps1 (vs. .bat) file. Then needs to be ran from PowerShell. Depending on your computer, you might/should be able to right-click the .ps1 file and select Run with PowerShell.

Are all your games 1 .cue file and 1 .bin file? Or do some have more than 1 .bin file? Are you using the batch file that rye74 posted? Did you save the file as .bat file (make sure it's not filename.bat.txt) Does anything happening when you run it? If so, what? Or the PowerShell script that runeblade posted? Did you change the path that the .bin files are located in? Does anything happening when you run it? if so, what? Do you have PowerISO installed in your C:\Program Files\PowerISO\ folder? If it's located somewhere else, did you change the path in the batch file (or script, depending on exactly which one you used)?

It's showing the Version. View < Show / Hide < Text on All Games (Ctrl+Shift+T) Edit: (oops. Wrong one) View < Show / Hide < Versions (Ctrl+R)

Run fbneo.exe. Click Game - Most Recent Games. Look at one of your MD games that you played. Look at the filename to the right of the Title. On my test, I ran A Bug's Life using a MAME softlist ROM bugslife.zip. What FBN shows as the filename is md_bugslife. In LaunchBox, I edited my FinalBurn Neo emulator. In the Associated Platforms section, I added to the Default Command-Line Parameters for my MD platform, md_%romfile%. And [for me] it worked. In the Details section, Remove Quotes and Remove File Extension are both [still] checked. This assumes you have your ROM paths set in the emulator itself. Which I imagine you do, because you indicated the games work directly from the emulator.

Depending on the number of videos there, one may want to just re-name the folder, rather than copy the files. Excellent point!

There is not. Not innately, at least. This is displayed by checking Tools < Options < Visuals < Platform Details - Most Played and is hard coded into LaunchBox. So can't be altered. If you so desire, you can request a feature to add another checkbox/option for Longest Playtime (or something similar). At the top if this page, click Help & Support and select Request a Feature. If you do make a request, be sure to come back here and add a link to it [when it becomes public] so that others can Upvote it.

You can add the batch files in Tools < Options < General < Startup Applications I'm not sure if they execute prior to initiating LB/BB though. (But imagine they do.) Tou can set them specifically for LaunchBox and/or Big Box. For "cleanliness", you may want to create shortcuts for the batch files. Then right-click each one (the shortcut, that is) and select Properties. Change Run: to Minimized. Then when adding the Starup Apps, select the shortcut(s). Respectively. This way you won't see the Command Prompt window when they run.

Correct. Run / RunWait - Syntax & Usage | AutoHotkey v1

Assuming that it works correctly as is (after having to click MAME in the taskbar), try running the command(s) minimized. run, %comspec% /c echo m3.1 > com 3,,Min $Esc:: { run, %comspec% /c echo m3.0 > com3,,Min WinClose, ahk_exe {{{StartupEXE}}} }

You can do that once it's imported into Google Sheets.

Do the carts run from within BigPEmu itself? (Start BigPEmu, select Load Software and select the ROM.)

No. But my browser is.

No worries. I already did. 😁

When you said "but I'd like automatic imports back" in your OP (sorry, I have to clarify), the game(s) automatic import is working. It's just that the media is not being downloaded when the games are [auto] imported? Correct? If the games are not auto-importing, make sure the platform (right-click the platform and select Edit) is un-checked to Disable ROM Auto-Import. (Now that I got that off my chest... ) Based on, you can manually download the media, I presume the auto-imported games are getting their metadata (i.e. at least an associated LaunchBox Database ID #). If the games are auto-importing but no media is being added to the games, despite having several media types selected in Tools < Options < Media < Automatic Imports Media, you may want to file a Bug Report (top of this page, Help & Support, select Report a Bug). Be sure to clarify with [something like] the above sentence. Also note a couple of specific platforms and that they worked before. Edit: Also note what version of LaunchBox you are using. In lieu of a bug report, you could instead clarify here the above then hope one of the LaunchBox staff will chime in with some ideas. (which still they may as it's still early on Monday morning. )

Well wa'da you know. Would you look at that. Well done!

The auto-import media for auto imported games is set under Tools < Options < Media < Automatic Imports Media (introduced v13.23). But by default, should at least have something checked. Are you seeing this happen only with a specific platform? Or with platforms where it had worked before (also)?

That was the one that came out in September. I was curious about the one Arturo saw today. For your situation (clicking update and restarting doesn't update it), I've seen reports saying they try it 3 or more times, and eventually the update takes. You might (not tested) be able to... with LaunchBox not running, delete the MAME Integration folder under /Plugins/ and then start LaunchBox. I'm not saying this is "the fix". But an interim means to resolving the issue you're seeing. I would recommend filing a Bug Report though. (Top is this page under Help & Support - File a Bug Report)

Just curious, which plugin was the update for? Maybe it just hasn't been pushed here yet, but my last one was back in September [for the MAME integration].

Yeah, it says "Board is in Keyboard Mode". But can't read what board is attached. I can read "PAC" and assume that's a "4" after it (though doesn't really matter). I only have an older I-PAC Mini that doesn't have any options other than Keyboard Mode. So what I asked before is about the extent of my knowledge. 😊 Hopefully someone who has an I-PAC 4 running in keyboard mode can chime in with their findings.

The LaunchBox Games Database may have been temporarily unavailable when you tried this. Try again and report back if it still says unavailable to download.

(have to ask...) Are you sure your I-PAC 4 is set to Keyboard Mode ("Mode 1")? And not Dinput or Xinput mode (Mode 2, 3, 4 or 5)? It shouldn't show as a controller if it's Keyboard Mode (as I suspect is what the I-PAC 2 is in). Even if its software is uninstalled and reinstalled, the physical I-PAC device retains its programming. So you'd need to change its mode via the software or by pressing the mode button-combos.

For PC games, the executable for each game is in its own subfolder (or /sub/subfolder/). So, to do a bulk-change-executable-location is not reasonably feasible. That said, you could do it manually. If your games were in (for example) G:\My PC Games\this_is_game_1\game1.exe G:\My PC Games\this_is_game_2\game2.exe G:\My PC Games\this_is_game_3\some_subfolder\game3.exe G:\My PC Games\this_is_game_4\game4.exe And now they're in H:\All My Games\My PC Games\this_is_game_1\game1.exe H:\All My Games\My PC Games\this_is_game_2\game2.exe H:\All My Games\My PC Games\this_is_game_3\some_subfolder\game3.exe H:\All My Games\My PC Games\this_is_game_4\game4.exe ...where the only thing that changed was the 1st part of the path... With LaunchBox not running and using a text editor, edit the platforms xml file and do a bulk find and replace.
