Very kind mate. It's easy to be concise when you don't really know what you're talking about!

Hey @Krovash I'm no expert, however when moving my LB install to a new Hard Drive I encountered a similar issue. Going in to manage emulators showed that the path was pointing to the SteamLauncher exe and not the emulator. I deleted the folder for the Plugin altogether, changed the emulator paths back to what they should be and put a clean install of the Plugin back in place, all working without issue now. So maybe a fresh install of the plugin (deleting the SteamLauncher folder and all in it) and a check of emulator paths if you haven't done so already is worth a look. If no luck try enabling the logging feature to post here so @Lahma can have a look when he has a chance. He's a sound lad and no doubt when he sees your post will get you back on track Cheers!

@Lahma I agree with @cammelspit While I can't see any downside to the command line tweak some users mightn't care for the change for whatever reason. But then what's the point of having the plugin if it doesn't work. I dunno how feasible it is to implement, but a toggle in a GUI either through LB or in its own configurator to edit the config.xml would be the Holy Grail for most end users. Obviously would require a butt load of work. Thanks again guys for developing and testing This plugin really just ties everything in my HTPC setup together so easily, with no stressing about controller assignment and the like. Everything just works now!

@cammelspit @Lahma I ONLY WENT AND BLOODY SLOVED IT! For MAMEs Launch Parameters in LB take out the default that was added to enable the pause screens and replace with Then everything should work hunky dory, including the pause screens. Seems that the issues is to do with Steam and MAME fighting over the controller assignment as far as I can tell. WOOP WOOP

AHH gotcha. If only it were that easy for yourself eh? As for going in and editing the XML that'd be grand for myself. Other users may find it a wee bit hands on possibly, but at this point we're getting down to v niche and particular requirements for fussy people like myself lol. Will have another poke about this evening and see if I can get ahold of @cammelspit on Steam, maybe if we put his knowledge and my cauliflower of a brain together we'll find what's causing the upset. As you say MAME's a big enough scene and community that it'll get addressed in some form or another eventually Cheers mate!

@Lahma That's magic! Will edit the config.xml when I get in from work and let you know how I get on. @cammelspit Thanks buddy, good to know you're as determine as myself (albeit with some actual knowledge to back it up compared to me) Researching the matter led me to a Steam forum post where the only help was from yourself (and the OP was an ungrateful tube) So I consider you the world's foremost expert on MAME and Steam Overlay now I'll keep trawling and poking around myself. Someone on Reddit reckons it could be to so with Big Picture being very aggressive with handling controller assignment. I don't know how to get MAME to log events which would be useful tho. Anyways thanks guys, LB community is stellar and you're both testament to that

I am definitely a novice when it comes to MAME, but it certainly seems to work with (nay require) zipped files. I have tried forcing the video mode to OpenGL inside MAME just to make sure the Steam overlay worked with it. When I launch with desktop steam overlay successfully and map controls to my Steam Controller it opens this up in a second window, with all the big picture mode . However it is binding to desktop mode only. So it doesn't seem to be picking up this instance of the game I think? Unchecking the option to use Big Picture mode and then launching with Steam controller the game still fails to boot as well funnily. As far as the cheeky features go I was thinking of being to enable or disable on a per game or per platform basis. I run my ScummVM games through a launcher (there's probably a far more sensible way to do this) and that isn't compatible for me. Not sure if it's possible but would be very nice for the fringe case games/platforms so it's smoother when launching BigBox on the main telly. Thanks again! PS. Oh and the launch arguments look normal to me, just a mirror of LB's

Heya, having trouble loading up Mame for some reason. The oddest part is that it'll work if I have my Steam controller off and click the game with my mouse so the overlay is in desktop mode, but if the Steam overlay is on big picture mode for any reason it there's nothing doing Have a few feature requests but don't want to be too cheeky about it. You work hard enough fella!

Lahma thank you v much for the new version, it works a dream. I may have been one of the ones who downloaded the version that you pulled, (i'm in Ireland so the times line up) but it seems to work a treat regardless. Only home from work now so will change over to the new one. If you want a tester for the pause screens (which I love btw for the save states) i'll be more than happy to muck in. Sent you a friend request on Steam so drop us a line. Thank you again, you utter legend!

Thank you lahma. Absolutely no apology required, the community is very fortunate to have contributors such as yourself. I'm relatively new to LB and haven't used your tool as of yet but it's going to be of great use to me and no doubt others. Thank you again for all your hard work, by reading through the thread I can see you've been very attentive and helpful, you're a hero!

Hi thanks for this, it's exactly what I need to use my Steam controller with games from GOG and elsewhere directly through LB! However for the life of me I cannot get it to work. Always crashes when I go to launch a game. On launching a game Steam instantly closes and LB hangs until I kill the process. Am I missing a trick or have Valve borked it with an update do you know?

Love it, very classy. Thank you!

First post, hello! Have all have been trying to get WinAPE running GX4000 carts through Launchbox with little success. Searching the forums the only solution I've found is to use Rocket launcher which I don't want to do. BUT for the few that care, it seems this guy found the solution years ago. https://lazyretroist.wordpress.com/2016/05/15/amstrad-cpc-plus-gx4000-emulation-on-windows-series/ It involves changing the .ini everytime you launch a different game in WinAPE using a batch file. I tried last night to write my own batch files for the first time ever and my own .ini for one game (before I read the blog post I linked) Outside launchbox I could get the batch to change .ini so the correct cart was loaded, but couldn't automate the process of launching WinAPE successfully without errors and the cart not loading. Inside LB my bats seemed to have no effect because they didn't have a launcher (like the solution some use for ScummVM) Anyways, this dude seems to have done that, will try when I get home. Although you'll have to write .ini files for each game theres only a handful of them at least! Hopefully this helps someone LB is awesome and so is the community, been lurking for months now with nothing to contribute untill this point, big thanks to all the contributors and developers.
