jackmeat

Well, I don't have my desktop as a game/watch folder for any of the emulators, and as far as adding new games to my consoles section, it happens very infrequently (such as you mentioned). I also would much prefer dragging my shortcuts, which is working fine now that I figured out that the auto import feature was turned on during the last update. Just turning that off is an easy enough fix. I am sure that auto import feature is great for many people as long as it functions properly. I just created a bug report.

Ok, to do this all from scratch, I just installed Battlefield 6 (so NO way I would have it previously). I dragged the single shortcut created from the desktop over to launchbox, went through the usual, and got to the end. It says 0 games to install. Instead of hitting back and trying the duplicate option, I hit cancel and went to search for a duplicate. There is now an entry for Battlefield 6 as a Nintendo Switch game. So that is being created during the process of adding it even though it says 0 at the end. I am sure I can go back and force duplicates and it will go into launchbox. I am guessing Launchbox is maybe importing any game I install on windows as a nintendo switch game??? before I get to that add process in launchbox. So new strategy, I just made sure the option to auto-import roms was turned off (it was previously on, and I don't recall going in and turning that on, but I remember reading about the option). Another game not installed before. Checking Launchbox first - No Hollow Knight. Installed Hollow Knight, checked Launchbox, no Hollow Knight. Dragged the shortcut over to Launchbox. It added Hollow Knight just fine. Moral of the story, I think the launchbox update turned on the auto import and it was importing my windows games as nitnendo switch roms???? so user error, if you want to call it that. but i don't think launchbox should be recognizing *.exe files as ROMs for emulation? Anyways, thank you for setting my head down this path to finding the problem. Maybe more of a bug in the auto import. Make sure auto import is turned off. I think that is a solution. Side note, I went and checked my Nintendo Switch under consoles, and it looks like anything installed since that update is a Nintendo Switch ROM, since I have Star Wars Squadrons, Bloody Zombies (COD modern warfare zombies), and the very interesting one, PrismVR dekstop, which is the software for my Puppis S1 router for use with my Quest 3. That is about the extent of things I had installed recently. So not only pulling windows games, but also productivity software.

I tried doing this on a new Windows PC game that failed previously and it worked. So as a work around, if it just shows 0 games to import, I'll go back and try this force duplicate option. This is on v13.24 but I have not run into this issue over the past 4 years, so it is definitely something new. Thanks for the suggestion, certainly beats manually adding the games. Not sure if I should mark this band-aid as a solution or not?

Just for windows. no emulators involved. up until possibly last update, i just dragged windows created shortcut (lnk) over to launchbox. this is something I have not changed at all in my method, so it seems something got changed in launchbox OR maybe something MS changed, but if so, not sure what that would be, i am aware of how to manually add them, i would prefer to use the method I have been using for the last, i want to say, 4 years?

It calls up the import wizard as usual, but after going through the typical options, it ends with Ready to Import and 0 games in the window, and at the bottom of that screen. Tried this on 3 different games, one at at a time just now, all same result.

Have you tried doing this yet? I found that for my Windows 11 machine, this did take care of the crash returning from sleep. Worth a shot. In LaunchBox: Go to Tools > Options > Visuals > Game Details Uncheck “Show 3D Model”

I fired up launchbox again last night and I see the same message of being out of memory is still an issue. I have already had to shelf my use of launchbox but I was kind of hoping by now this would be resolved. Oh well. I'll keep waiting.

Yes, it is added to the list view as well. I was more or less looking for a filter so my library would only show the broken ones, but this as a workable solution will do. I didn't find it until the fine folks here chimed in. Just the posts about this issue were stale, same with bitbucket, so it didn't appear to be resolved. Thank you, and thanks to those above as well for pointing me in the right direction.

Ok, thank you. I couldn't seem to locate it. I'll check it out.

I am going to guess this never went anywhere since Happy New Year, it is 2022 and I am noticing that I cannot filter by "broken" status and figured I was just an idiot missing something simple.

Nope, they aren't. I'll be looking into it later on. Most likely wait until they get their issues resolved. 5 minutes to search for images for 10 DC games is quite annoying. Seems they are fully aware of it so I doubt it will take long

I thought about that after I already posted and was doing some other stuff. Duh, since when are things free lol. It makes sense though, thanks for letting me know. I am sure I'll be asking other stupid questions as they come up. I have had launch box for years and never bothered getting much past launching games. So very much a newbie and now with big box, I want it to work properly. Thanks again!!

Glad I found this post. I am having a similar problem. But I don't get "Videos" as an option at all. I tried first looking to download media for all games last night which doesn't show any videos, so I chose screenshot-gameplay and let those download. Worked fine. But I cannot get any form of video to show up as your screenshot shows, I tried king of fighters 95 since it was close to waht you were talking about and also tried rise of the tomb raider individually, but nowhere do i get option for videos. i checked the general priority and they were ordered fine, just marquee unchecked.

I just ran across this ridiculous captcha thing as well, and really this isn't getting into my bank account, it is for epic games. as someone else said, random generated password in bitwarden, and having my phone handy to get the 2FA, so why just to import into launch box, 10X of adding up to dice, and when you get it right, you have to do it again anyway? Oh, and I tried having epic games launcher running and active, along with having epic game logged in on my browser, and it still says not logged in, so give me a break. Pointless and far to time consuming to mess with to even utilize. Strike 1 for my big box consideration, I tend not to give money to companies that get simple things oh so wrong (hope you are reading this Plex)
