I found an old post on these forums and was able to fix it by changing the monitor # in Big Box However another minor issue, after startup screen runs out of time the screen just turns black, and I have to click on the screen to see the game? Is that normal?

I have a laptop hooked up to big screen TV, the TV is set as the #1 monitor and primary, all of my games and my Launchbox come up on the TV monitor. However the startup screen comes up on the laptop monitor. I'm not sure how to fix it.

You can sort of do what you want but it won't really be like an operating system, you can put anything that you can run on Windows in there. That includes .exes, shortcuts etc... I once did it and had firefox recycling bin outlook mail jdownloader certain web pages that I could go directly to music movies and of course games in mine. With autohotkey scripts I keep my Launchbox maximized at all time if I accidentally close it it will automatically reopen and it can't be minimized. It's almost like my desktop wallpaper, but anything I want to use in front of it firefox etc... work fine so it's not intrusive. Plus my taskbar is still showing at all times to easily get to any program I need to.

Mario Kart World and Donkey Kong Bananza. If anyone needs help setting them up in Launchbox let me know because I had to use autohotkey scripts. I can't tell you where to find the roms though.

For me there is never an obligation to be on the latest version. If you're willing go to an earlier version and stay on it instead of trying to be on the latest.

You didn't mention any of that in the original post about dosbox pure core, you just said Retroarch.

You have to setup your associated platforms which match the name of the platform of your game and choose your core in there under the retroarch emulator in Launchbox. Example: NIntendo 64 | Mupen64plus_next_libretro | default emulator checked. Then when you add the game (or add in bulk) you must call the Platform Nintendo 64 exactly to match and it will know to launch it under the correct core. You can call them whatever you want "N64" "Nintendo 64" they just need to match platform to associated platform.

I found it by luck if anyone needs to know it you type in Windows key + R and then shell:appsfolder

Microsoft made some of their games where you have to access them via start menu such as a few of the Forzas. There's a directory that these are located so they can be added in Launchbox does anyone know what that directory is.

I was used to a very old Launchbox from 5 years ago and all I had to do was right click anywhere and choose add to add a game that I wanted. That no longer works on latest now and seems to want to import roms as a group. Please tell me there's someway to add my own games individually?

Edit emulator go to running autohotkey script tab and paste this in Sleep 8000 Send {F11} return then hit okay.

Nevermind, my Launchbox is just really old I don't have that lol.

I have an old launchbox so maybe new versions do have this, but when i bulk add files that dont need an emulator it forces ne to choose one anyway. Then i have to go back and bulk ediit remove the emulator from them all. Not the end of the world, but would be cool if it wasnt forced.

I just run the bats in Launchbox with no emulator. If you can run something outside of Launchbox, you can also run it in Launchbox.

Right click on Windows button in bottom left and choose Command Prompt (Admin) type this in sfc /SCANNOW return then when it's done type DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth return May or may not help, but it's something to try. If your Launchbox in on a different hdd than C then type cd E: or F: or whatever the drive letter is before doing these. If that doesn't help I would install a fresh Launchbox from Launchbox.com in a new location, then copy your data, themes, LBthemes folders and if you use music copy that folder same for videos from the current one to the new one so that you don't lose anything and see if that helps. In this case you're starting fresh yet keeping your data at the same time.
