Same problem here too. Tried a fresh Win11 install and it's still happening. Also this happens for me when just launching Retroarch directly (LB is not even installed yet).

FWIW, Itch.io is the only storefront I use besides Steam. Would love to see this integrated one day.

Five years and 41 pages of posts are a bit much to look through.
Question: How do I take to use SL to customize controller settings per platform/emulator; hopefully being able to set control bindings for multiple controllers like a wireless gamepad and a wired fightstick.
You can't do it per-emulator, because Steam sees each game as is it's own, y'know, game. The easy way is to set the controls in the emulator first, and save a controller profile and apply it to each game you want to be different.
Alternatively, you could load the emulator itself as a non-Steam game and launch that way, but that kinda defeats the whole purpose of SteamLauncher.

Bah, I will be away from my Big Box PC for a week sorry, @Lahma. I'll try it out again when I'm back.

Just a heads-up, looks like the latest beta (a pretty massive update by the looks of it) breaks SteamLauncher.
-
I'm trying out using Steam as my shell, and opening Launchbox from there. It works great and having Steam in charge of all the controllers is a wonderful thing, but you can't use SteamLauncher if going that route (Steam > Launchbox > Steam) which means I can't configure controllers on a per-game basis.
I was thinking since each console basically has the same config, I could just add shortcuts to Steam for NES, SNES, Wii, etc, and have Big Box open directly to the given platform. Is there a shortcut I could create to do this? I'm imagining something like:
"C:\Launchbox\core\BigBox.exe -PLAYLISTNAME"One solution I'm considering is just having multiple BigBox.exe and config files for every platform but it feels like that could get messy fast. Any ideas?

Thanks for the detailed reply @faeran! Turns out the system I was testing with (Sega Saturn) does not yet have spines available on EmuMovies, hence my confusion. I'll look into the image packs posted here! Definitely looking forward to the advancements in this dept.
-
What images are needed to make this theme look like the example images? Specifically:
- Proper box art on the sides/spines
- Jewel cases for appropriate games (Sega CD, PlayStation, Saturn, etc are all just sort-of CD sized boxes).
The lone review on this theme says "you have to download the borders or the complete covers from Emumovies" but I do not have those options in the image search.

@Lahma Would it be helpful to see the crash report?
-
Not sure if this is just me, but attempting to disable the latest version of Steamlauncher in Big Box crashes the program (seems to work fine in regular Launchbox).

So this is a nice surprise @Lahma, @fromlostdays, the issue I was having with CemU and the Steam overlay appears to be working now. I'm not sure if it was the latest Steam, SteamLauncher or BigBox update (Because CemU hasn't updated), but I'm crossing my fingers it lasts!

Steam hasn't updated yet for me I guess, for whatever reason, and SteamLauncher is still working fine for me. But, there is an option in the SteamLauncher settings under the Misc tab to update the vtables. Not sure if it works or not as I can't test it, but its worth trying.
That button is to update from @Lahma's server (not Steam), if you look- you'll see his last update was 5/23. So he has to update on his end before it can go out to everyone else's.

SteamLauncher stop working yesterday for anyone else? Totally crashes launchbox when I try to launch a game. Works fine when disabled. Haven't changed any settings that I'm aware of.

Good question. I set up a desktop config called Disabled with no mapping a long time ago because it was confusing me at the time, and the controller doesn't work at all in Cemu when I launch with Vulkan. So it very well could be launching my empty desktop config.
Ah yup probably! I had previously set my desktop config to "gamepad" as a workaround (but it's not a solution because I also use the desktop config in other software)
-
@fromlostdays I'm curious, when you launch a WiiU game via SteamLauncher, do your controls work as normal (it's playable) or is Steam assigning it the desktop controller config? I can't help but assume the issues are related.

Huh... that is an interesting outcome... I am an indeed using Vulkan in Cemu and the overlay is working just fine. It seems pretty clear to me that there is common component shared by both you and @Corgana which is causing the issue. Again, I'm pretty sure the Cemu version has nothing to do with the problem @Corgana. My guess would be that there is some conflicting software or driver that is causing the problem, specifically in relation to the Vulkan renderer. I will be interested to hear from @Corgana if the overlay starts working for him as well whenever he switches to the OpenGL renderer in Cemu. If so, I would guess that you are both likely running the same problematic software/driver. If not, it may be a more generalized issue related to an OS setting or shared component used in many different software packages.
My recommendation for both of you would be to try to do a 'Diagnostic Startup' or a 'Selective Startup' (with both 'Load system services' and 'Load startup items' unchecked) and then try to launch Cemu via Steam (without starting any other software or services) and see what the result is. You can find this option by opening your start menu and typing 'msconfig'. On the 'General' tab, you will see the options I mentioned:
Are both of you using Nvidia GPU's? If not, what is your GPU vendor? If the issue is related to the GPU driver, it is unlikely that a 'Selective Startup' will remedy the problem. If the 'Selective Startup' doesn't help narrow down the issue, as a last resort, I would attempt to use DDU (along with exactly following its instructions for how to use it) to uninstall your GPU driver. Following that, you can then load the latest version of your GPU driver and try again.
Hopefully we can figure out how to resolve the issue, and identify exactly what the problematic component is, because I suspect there will be others encountering the same issue if there are already 2 of you having the same problem in our relatively small group of users. Remind me again, are both of you using Windows 10 or Windows 11?
Just thought I'd let you know, I tried uninstalling the driver with DDU, and it has the same effect (Steam defaults to desktop config, and no overlay).
I'm wondering if it could be related to CemU not having an exclusive fullscreen mode. Steam is recognizing it as a launcher.

No dice. Tried deleting the whole cache too just in case. Same issue.

@Lahma That's on me for assuming you wouldn't want to help people unless it was related to your plugin 😂 Appreciate your efforts as always.

Just out of curiosity, I tried adding CemU games to Steam with Steamrommanager, which sort of fixed the controls (only if I unchecked "Allow desktop configuration") but the overlay still did not appear with Vulkan.

@Corgana, I would definitely try a selective startup before you go messing with DDU. You're not at risk of messing anything up doing that.
Sorry forgot to mention that- I did try selective startup with both options unchecked and actually nothing would launch via Launchbox (with or without Steam Launcher).
I'm 90% sure the overlay issue has nothing to do with your plugin because even when launched via steam (as a 3rd party program) the overlay fails to appear and Steam goes with the desktop controller config.

Did a fresh install of CemU w/Default settings:
- OpelGL - Confirmed overlay and controls works as expected (massive screen tearing etc though)
- Vulkan - Steam loads the "desktop config" controls (joystick acts as mouse, etc). Overlay does not work (even with shift-tab)
I will try DDU another day when I have time to mess something up!
-
@fromlostdaysAlso found this reddit thread describing the same problem. Seems it's a problem with CemU. I'll try OpenGL but last I tried, I get vsync and performance issues with it. Not sure why the graphics driver would affect controller inputs 🙃

Throwing this out there, but the issue isn't directly related to the Steamlauncher Plugin:
Is anyone else having trouble specifically with Cemu 1.26.2f (latest version) where the overlay refuses to pop up? This seems to be a problem specifically with the emulator (or at least my setup) and Steam. I know its not the plugin because I've used multiple methods to import the emulator (and the games) directly into Steam and the overlay still doesn't work, plus Lahma himself tried to help me troubleshoot it for a while and he's just as stumped. I'm hoping this is just a problem with this Cemu version as it worked in the past for me.
Also, I have tried a full fresh install of Cemu to the same results. I'm tired of messing with it atm but tomorrow I'll see if I can't install an older version of cemu to test.
Thanks peeps!
Yes, been having this issue a few months now with CemU, but I'm pretty sure it's not related to SteamLauncher or Launchbox. I've tried using Glossi to launch CemU to Steam and that didn't work either.
One "solution" I have is to use the "gamepad" profile for Steam's desktop config, but that will only work for a single controller and you can't use the desktop config anywhere obviously.
It seems that (for some unknown reason) Steam will only recognize CemU as a desktop program, and (also for some unknown reason) CemU does not recognize Steams Xinput controllers.
Let us know if you find an older version that works!

Here's a minor thing- the dropdown text on the "selective use" tab is white-on-white, so it can't be read unless hovered over.

Did you figure this out? It does not work at all for me.
