    Multiple Game Instances

    ...I know how to have duplicate entries in Launchbox. I'm trying to have one boot default Smash, and have the other boot modded. I just about have it figured out, but now Steam Launcher is having fits and I'm trying to figure that out.

     

    Update: I got it working. The trick is to make a copy of your Yuzu installation and create a User folder in both, making them portable, and move everything from your "C:\Users\your user name\AppData\Roaming\yuzu" folder into the one you wish to use for mods, making sure to copy your keys into the new Yuzu.  Additionally, you can redirect the paths of your nand and sd card to the old one if you wish to share between them. The result is two different installations of the emulator, each with different settings, in my case modded Smash and unmodded. Now the duplicate LaunchBox entry just has to be set to launch with the new Yuzu.exe. I hope this helps someone.

    is it possible to have two different entries for the same game, one using mods, and the other default?

    I want to have a separate entry for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate mods

    What do you find is the best, cleanest and most convenient way to set up LaunchBox? Do you have other region games combined into a single entry, or set up as a different platform entirely? Do you have a special platform set up for commonly used apps and shortcuts? Share any personal touches you like to do to make LaunchBox work better for you!

    I'd be happy to help you out but I'm going to need a lot more details than what you provided.. Tried booting emulators that were working before what? "Nothing works as it should" meaning.. what exactly? Things (the plugin, LB, ??) work if you fresh install what? The plugin? LaunchBox? Or do you mean when you re-setup/install an emulator or game or rom? I'm the author of the emulator so I can probably point you in the right direction and/or help you troubleshoot an issue you're having but please provide as detailed of an explanation as you can and ideally, provide some logs as well. If you don't know how to collect logs, there are instructions on the plugin download page describing how to do so but I will copy/paste those instructions below for your convenience. Please do not just provide log files though. They can only tell me so much so I will need a detailed description of the issue as well.

    Logs

    To provide help with any technical problems or to investigate a bug, I will need a copy of the debug log that is generated whenever 'Log Level' is set to 'Verbose'. To enable and collect 'Verbose' debug logs, do the following:

    • Open the SteamLauncher settings dialog.

    • Click the dropdown box under 'Log Level' and select 'Verbose'.

    • Click the 'Save' button.

    • Restart LaunchBox/BigBox.

    • Now simply repeat whatever behavior was causing the issue and/or bug, and after you're sure you've replicated the behavior, close LaunchBox/BigBox.

    • Look inside of the SteamLauncher directory for a file named 'debug.log' (there may be more than one sequentially named log file if there was an enormous amount of output but this is unlikely if verbose logging was turned on just briefly).

    • Open this 'debug.log' file in a text editor, copy its entire contents, and paste/upload it to pastebin.com.

    • In the SteamLauncher support thread, provide the PasteBin URL, the details of the problem you encountered, and the particulars of your setup (Windows version, 32-bit or 64-bit, LaunchBox version, Steam version, SteamLauncher plugin version, etc). The more information the better.

    Since your last update, I set up all my emulators, and everything worked great. After a few days, everything went back to not launching when using the plugin. First I figured that Steam broke it again. So I deleted the plugin and extracted a freshly downloaded copy I had backed up, and everything worked again. I went and copied the settings I had before and everything still works fine. I just don't get how after several days of having everything set up and not messing with anything, it broke itself.

    I just tried again, and emulators work as expected. With PC games, its a mixed bag. For some, Steam interface works right, some it doesn't work at all. For TMNT Shredders Revenge: Overlay works, Controller input not recognized. Plugin turned off, controllers work. I'm not sure how much of it is the plugin, and how much of it is particular games having issues with Steam UI as a whole.

    What I'm trying to do is group games together with a shortcut link to their bonus content, such as PDFs for digital artbooks, and shortcuts to folders containing soundtracks.

     

    Upon looking at my badges, I don't appear to have one for additional apps. 🤔

    The one showing that two entries have been combined? Also, when I try to expand them, they don't. It shows for other platforms such as GameCube, but it don't show for steam. If I right click, it shows there are are additional apps. Or is that different than multidisc?

    Games in Steam library not launching in Big Picture mode

    in Troubleshooting

    Is there a tutorial on how to import non-steam games that have been added to your steam library to launchbox? I like to use the Steam input for custom control schemes, but when you import your steam library, it only adds games that were purchased through steam.
     
    If I create a Steam shortcut for the game on my desktop, import it, then copy/paste Steam URL (i.e. steam://rungameid/12198631470650097664) into the application path, I can launch the non-steam game (shortcut no longer needed) from Launchbox. Only problem is it only works in Desktop mode. If I try to start the game from Launchbox while Steam is in Big Picture mode, nothing happens.
     
    The only way I can kinda make it work is to import the game exe itself (or a shortcut to it), launch Launchbox FROM Steam, then launch the game from Launchbox. But it doesn't show up as an individual game config, instead showing up as a config for Launchbox. This means I have to create a config for a particular game and manually load it when I start it up.
     
    Is there something I'm missing? There has to be an easier way to do this.
