[Cannot install LaunchBox in a new Windows 11 PC]

Hello,

I had a LaunchBox biuld in the cloud but I cannot open it from my new PC. Neither can I install LaunchBox again. I get the following error, I click "Ναι", yes in Greek but nothing happens. Also, I already have .NET Core installed...

To be honest, I'm not even sure myself yet! I've only had this beast for a day, and I'm still setting it up. Steam ROM Manager has been my best option for now, though.

I haven't tried Steam ROM Manager or any front end yet, only standalone emulators. Performance is good but I miss the familiarity and ease of Launchbox. Also, launching some emulators via the steam os does not always work for some reason.

Count me interested as well. I'm loving my Steam Deck, but the lack of Big Box really hurts (lifetime membership+lifetime emumovies membership here). I've already got other solutions for organizing my roms, but nothing scratches the same itch as Big Box. I don't even care if I have to pay for another license, I'll happily shell out for Steam Deck compatibility.

I would love Launchbox in my steam deck but can I ask what method you try to import roms? I have searched for methods, but I am not really sure what is the easiest/best...

Tools/Manage emulators/Retroarch/Associated platforms. You will need to click a empty cell at the bottom of the list and type the platform name EXACTLY as you named it, and pick a core from the dropdown.

For example,

That was exactly what I wanted.

Thank you very much!!

If they are platforms then you need to add those platforms to the associated platforms list of your Retroarch entry. Launchbox doesnt read minds on what a platform is, and if its simply named something like EU it has no way of knowing the platform that it is or the core to use, unless you specify it.

Thanks for the replay. From the "manage platforms" I chose Game Boy and from the import screen I write something like this but it doen't work. It is in my local language but you can get what I tried. I Used a "Nintnendo Game Boy (Translations)" folder as an example

[Seperate categories on the same platform]

Greetings,

 

Sorry if this has been covered I was not able to find it.

Suppose I want for a platform (game boy for example) 4 categories one EU, one USA, one Hacks and one Translations.

How can I do this? If I name the folders and the categories accordingly the games simply do not start even though I have configured Retroarch. Only the folder "Nintendo Game Boy" works as it should.

Thanks
