Play! is normally meant for PS2, however there are some Namco arcade games that PCSX 2 can't play only Play! but I'm unsure of how to get games to load. It just goes to the GUI after adding rom and emulator. Does anyone know what commands I need to add? thanks Edit: ok I checked github after making this thread but it's still not working. This is what it says The following command line options are available: --disc "disc image path" : Boots a disc image. --elf "elf file path" : Boots a ELF file. --arcade "arcade id" : Boots an arcade game. --state "slot number" : Loads a state from slot number. --fullscreen : Starts the emulator in fullscreen mode. I tried adding --arcade but that doesn't work it says 'failed to read arcade definition file" I then tried putting --arcade "arcade id" in the command line but that doesn't work either.

I know how to make custom configs dude, I just didn't know if RPCS3 was loading them when a game is lauching from Launchbox. This is a Launchbox forum I obviously don't want to load the game through RPCS3 I want to load the game through Launchbox. This thread feels dead to me no one really posts here I'm like the only one asking for help with anything and now I'm starting to get "just google it" answers. Almost feels like why would you even ask for help with an AHK script in an AHK script thread. The guy I'm quoting was guilty of that too just google it I read the entire thread a couple of months ago and never saw that reply until now twice. I think I'm good anyway won't be asking for anymore help here or helping others. Peace out.

I'm not saying you're doing anything wrong but why not just use Duckstation in Launchbox with fullscreen? Then you wouldn't need bezel support. Because for that I use $Esc:: Send !{F4} Process,Close,DuckStation Run,taskkill WinTitle /im "duckstation-qt-x64-ReleaseLTCG.exe" /F *take note of your Duckstation version .exe and replace it if different. They've used different .exe names with different versions. Or you could replace Duckstation with RocketLauncher, but I don't know if it will work or not. $Esc:: Send !{F4} Process,Close,RocketLauncher Run,taskkill WinTitle /im "RocketLauncher.exe" /F Sometimes different emulators require different scripts for them to be closed. If you prefer bezel over fullscreen no problem, I just prefer all my games fullscreen and am more inquiring if you need help with making Duckstation fullscreen but if you want the bezel over fullscreen I'm not trying to change your mind.

I'm assuming you're using this for SSF/Saturn they finally came out with an SSF that can load ISOs directly about 2 years ago. https://github.com/shimazzz/SEGASaturnEmulator-SSF/releases/

Open Task manager with ctrl + alt + delete and see if there's a launchbox.exe open and close it, then retry.

@JoeViking245 in RPCS3 how do I have a ahk script that runs a custom configuration for an individual game? I think this was covered somewhere in this thread but it's a long thread.

I was kinda doing what I wanted just now I made A-Z platform and start adding each letter to it as a playlist, but in the Youtube launchbox video when they added nesting when he would add a playlist inside a category/platform it would move it there, but mine still shows up? I had A in A-Z and also A separately from A-Z. Also if i delete a list from platform category will it delete the playlist in playlist? Or like for example I have a category called Arcade if I delete that will it delete games or just a category you can add to games? I actually don't use any categories like Arcade anymore or handheld I tried to delete Arcade but it deleted a bunch of games within it, but if I can't delete a category like that and if i can't not have A in A-Z and A separately, i guess I won't bother. The whole point for me is to have all the letters A-Z in A-Z not both. And not to have them in Playlist Category with categories I don't want. Also I wish it could have children within Playlist. It seems like it's not possible to just delete a platform either without deleting ALL the games within that platform. It would be a lot easier if you could easily delete a platform without it touching the games. if I delete a game from playlist, it asks whether I want to also delete it from All games, or if I delete an emulator, it does not effect the games that run in that emulator. it should be that way with a category/platform as well, in my opinion. Not to get all conspiracy like but it's stuff like this that makes me think A.I. is coming up with all of these computer programs, because of so much stuff that make no sense. Why would a human being go well I'm going to let them have all these subcategories but not allow them in playlist (literally why?) and make the whole thing more difficult than it should be. I get it though I'm preaching and i'm using free Launchbox which is still overall pretty bad ass for free so I'll stop. I'm in Playlist 100% of the time guess I'll stay there.

I watched this video about nesting and I understand it more now However he says first thing that you make the changes in Playlist category and this will apply to Playlist, but in the Playlist section nothing changes. Maybe I understood him.

I only have free Launchbox not Big Box but was just wondering could I put playlists within playlists like right now I have a playlist with each letter but I would rather have a Playlist called A-Z and be able to hide all of those letters inside of A-Z, is that possible? I thought maybe "Nested' could help with that, but it seems to be another way of sorting or am I wrong. I saw where there's a "Parents" and a few pre-selected categories. But I want to make my own. Or, perhaps those can be edited or added to? Do I have to make a Platform called "A" "B" etc....? i don't really use platforms like normal if I have a PS2 game I don't bother to call the platform PS2.

Found it, the trick was to type "Super Mario Land IGN" IGN has the best of the type of images I'm looking for.

I'm pretty picky about what I put in my Launchbox I don't want it to say the console name or even Nintendo, I certainly don't want the original box which is about all you can find in the Launchbox database. Here is an example of what I want for Super Mario Land 1, here is part 2 I was hoping for a better one for part 1. This was the best I could find but I feel the coloring is off (I know, like I said I'm picky) Does there exist a better one? Doesn't have to be the same image. I always search Google but couldn't find anything on this one particular game. I have over 500 more that I was able to find just not happy with this one.

Nevermind pretty easy fix I didn't realize I could create shortcuts for games in the Sudachi GUI, just added the shortcut removed having an emulator and they work.

So Pikmin 1 and 2 are together as far as the game, but in Sudachi GUI they're listed as two separate games that I can launch separately. Would it be possible to have separate games listed in Launchbox? If I just add Pikmin 1 & 2.xci it will just play Pikmin 1.

I had to try it I just added an mp3 as the rom file and VLC Media Player as the emulator, at first it didn't work but it was because I already had VLC open in tray. Closed it and it worked. @JoeViking245 would I be able to import my mp3s like roms? Otherwise it would take forever adding them one at a time. Edit: That's just crazy, it all works lol.

Added some more including Chiaki to launch my PS5 or PS4. I use a capture card and OBS with Chiaki (unofficial Playstation Remote Play) to play them from my PC. VLC Media Player is also on the bottom. But pretty much you could make Launchbox your all inclusive PC handler. Technically it's called Launchbox not Gamebox anyway. I could still add the calculator and some other stuff. I mean really I already have all this in my start menu so like I said in the topic there's no good reason to do it at all, just because. I actually launch my PS4 and PS5 through keyboard shortcuts which I turned into controller shortcuts. So I can just start them from my controller.

And yes they do all work. Only way I would do it is if I could hide these apps from my games. I didn't think All could be hidden but it actually can in tools > options > sidebar (thanks to JoeViking for that tip) So I hid All and made a category called Games that have all my games separate from other apps. I might just have launchbox do everything on my computer including launch documents folder, outlook mail, VLC Media Player and such lol. Only bad thing is when you add a game or in this case a random app that's not a game it will add them to all so you have to unhide all add the game to the playlist you desire and then hide all again. Not a big though takes a few seconds.

I don't have an answer to your question but it sounds like something you're the first to ever try to do. Why not just copy the files from laptop to desktop or vice versa if there's any changes? You can use free program like send anywhere install it on both computers and you can drag and drop files between computers. I'm impressed you ever got it working through Google Drive but I doubt it'll ever be fast. Another idea you could use something like Parsec or TeamViewer and stream one computer's screen to the other. I do this with a gaming computer in my bedroom to play games in the living room. Parsec will even let you use a controller for the PC you're trying to stream to the one you're on.

Does your computer have both a dedicated GPU like Intel and a second one like Nvidia?

That's awesome, thank you. I'm all set as far as that, very happy. So any opinions about excluding from all? Just think Launchbox could launch firefox, outlook mail, obs, chiaki, vlc media player with a separate playlist that's not related to games. I mean technically it could do those things now but I'm sure most don't want them mixed in with their games.

I use autohotkey scripts. Place this in your RPCS3 directory, and you will need to adjust the location of your game within the script. You will need to download autohotkey, right click in RPCS3 main directory, choose new autohotkey script and paste this in the script and adjust accordingly. run rpcs3.exe --no-gui "E:\RPCS3\Demon's Souls\PS3_GAME\USRDIR\EBOOT.BIN" The no-gui makes it where you don't see the RPCS3 when you launch the game. If for some reason you want the gui when launching the game you can remove --nogui. And that's it. You can right click and compile script it makes it into an .exe (optional) or just load the .ahk either one in Launchbox in your game. And it should play. You will leave emulator unchecked. And if you want to add another game just save the same autohotkey document as the new game's name.ahk and adjust accordingly. You can put installed pkgs as a script too just find the location of the game X:\RPCS3\dev_hdd0\game\NPUB30780\USRDIR\EBOOT.BIN So then it will be run rpcs3.exe --no-gui "X:\RPCS3\dev_hdd0\game\NPUB30780\USRDIR\EBOOT.BIN" Every script will use that format except X = your drive location that points to RPCS3 and NPUB30780 would need to be changed to whatever game yours is. You can right click on an installed game in RPCS3 and find this location then just copy/paste it. It's pretty easy you just need a small amount of awareness of how locations on your PC work. You can also use .bats in which the terminology is a little different but it's mostly the same concept, I just find autohotkey scripts easier.

I think I got it figured out to manually sort by editing the playlist.xml in data. It changed two games to 1 and 2 position in my #Playlist but kept them in order in All.

Awesome! Never knew that. Thanks. But how do I sort them? I wanted Silent Hill 2 to be first so I put a 1 in sort title but it did not change the order. They seem to be just in a random order. Edit: actually after refreshing it did, but it still changed the order to first in All. Also about the 2nd request could that be possible where a game or app can be excluded from All. That way I could add something like Chiaki (Unofficial Playstation Remote Play streams PS4/PS5) or OBS and not have it included with my games? Not absolutely necessary but it would just be cool to use Launchbox as almost like a multimedia app.

This is another idea involving making things specific to a certain playlist. I would love to be able to add certain apps to Launchbox like OBS (because I stream my Playstation 4 and 5 and Switch to PC with a capture card) without it being in All category. And I know there's OBS implementation to record games but that's not what I want or what I use OBS for. I actually play my other consoles on on my active PC monitor using a capture card and would just like to actually launch OBS from Launchbox which I know I can do right now by just adding it as a game but it would be in All with my other games. So basically an "other" category or "apps" that let's you put some app that does not show in All.

I'm aware of the sort title option, but I would like to be able to have individual sort title per playlist that does not effect All or other playlists. The reason is I have a sidebar that's actually called "#playlist" (the # is so it will be first alphabetically) and I would like to rank the games I want to beat in order and not use alphabet on that while All still sorts them alphabetically. Then I can just edit game choose sort title and put a 1, 2, 3, etc.... in there. But if I do that now it will put the #1 game #1 in All and in all categories. So basically if not a sort by title individual to the playlist, then have a playlist where I can sort the games however I want, and it does not effect the order of other lists. Whichever is easier to implement.

Oh I've got a wireless mouse lol, just sometimes I like using the keyboard sometimes the controller sometimes the mouse. I'm weird that way I guess. But I now have a script that does it all with a key including pressing ctrl + s to get side bar (because I usually use no side bar) and pressing tab 15 (it was 15 not 14) times, and I added that key to joytokey so my controller can do it too. Just one stroke and it goes from no side bar to sidebar with playlist.
