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.

Yeah it takes me hitting tab 14 times to get to it, maybe I could do an ahk script where I tab 14 tabs in one key.

I know that ctrl+s opens the sidebar and closes it, but is there a way with strictly keyboard keys to get to the side bar and start scrolling through it? I found a list of keyboard shortcuts here https://keypirinha.com/keyboard.html but it doesn't say anything about that. Is there a complete list of keyboard keys for Launchbox somewhere?

Thanks but the app I'm using cmd for is already available on the taskbar. I was wanting it as a tray icon so it would be hidden. Edit: I'm all set, finally found a free app that does what I want making anything into a tray icon permanently.

This question is not Launchbox related, so if I'm told I can't get help for it that's okay. But I'm trying to make a command prompt into a tray icon where it stays open in the tray but I can click on it open it but if I close it it goes back to the tray. I tried every app to do this but all they seem to do is give you a keyboard shortcut to minimize to tray but when you open it you have to do the shortcut again. That's not exactly what I want. Can anyone help? I was able to find a script maybe a year ago and modify it that does put it in the tray but it doesn't work properly as I can't open it. I also deleted part of the end of it and made it worse and can't find the original. Maybe the code could be modified. #NoTrayIcon #Persistent /* Setup Tray icon and add item that will handle * double click events */ Menu Tray, Icon Menu Tray, Icon, C:\windows\system32\cmd.exe Menu Tray, Add, Show / Hide "Client RS.exe", TrayClick Menu Tray, Add, Close "Client RS.exe", CloseItem Menu Tray, Default, Show / Hide "Client RS.exe" ;// Run program or batch file hidden DetectHiddenWindows On Run "Client RS.exe",, Hide, PID WinWait ahk_pid %PID% hBatFile := WinExist() DetectHiddenWindows Off return TrayClick: OnTrayClick() return ;// Show / hide program or batch file on double click OnTrayClick() { if DllCall("IsWindowVisible", "Ptr", hBatFile) { WinHide ahk_id %hBatFile% } } CloseItem() { DetectHiddenWindows On WinWait ahk_class ConsoleWindowClass Process, Close, cmd.exe DetectHiddenWindows Off ExitApp }

In case anyone else has that problem of Launchbox covering the taskbar at different times when you don't want it to (because I've seen lots of threads on this forum but no real answers) it's a driver issue. I believe I have it solved by going into Display Settings then choosing Graphic settings and it'll say Graphics performance preference Choose between better performance or battery life when choosing an app. Choose an app to set the preference. Choose your launchbox.exe and in my case I have two GPUs Intel and Nvidia, I choose Nvidia and when it wakes from sleep or when I change resolutions it does not budge from fullscreen with taskbar showing. I even close all ahk scripts which I tried to use to remedy the problem. I've had this issue for several years and could never resolve until (I think/hope) now.

When I do that, it makes it cover the taskbar at all times, even if I click the box in the top right it won't allow it to not cover the taskbar. 😟 I've never had success with the WinRestore command, it's almost like they're backwards restore maximizes and maximize restores. As soon as I change it back to WinMaximize it's back to showing taskbar, unless of course I change resolution. You having me drag the size of launchbox did seem to help somewhat though. If I change the resolution to 720p it does cover the taskbar, but at least when I change it back to 1080p it no longer does, so is helpful for games that would effect the resolution. I do use 720p for one thing though to stream my PC to my Nintendo Switch, but I don't use it very often.

You know what it is remember how I was running scripts to keep launchbox fullscreen and where if I minimize or hit the middle winrestore button it would still stay fullscreen (but show taskbar) that script is causing the issue I just figured out. Because to do what you asked make it not fullscreen I had to close that script, and when I dragged it to cover the entire screen except taskbar, and changed the resolution it did not cover the taskbar. However as soon as I ran the script and changed the resolution it covered the taskbar. Problem is I kind of like the script maybe it could be fixed? This is what I have #SingleInstance force #Persistent Loop { if WinActive("ahk_exe LaunchBox.exe") WinMaximize } So for some reason this makes it maximize as in cover the taskbar if I change resolutions, but if not it does not which is odd to me.

@JoeViking245 Could you help me with something? I think it's the last issue I should need help with. I have problems with launchbox covering the taskbar when I launch certain games, most likely because they're a different resolution than desktop which is 1920 x 1080. Even though when I quit the game and the resolution reverts back to 1080p launchbox still covers the taskbar. I am able to use a hotkey to make the taskbar show as minimizing it and reactivating it solves the issue. Hotkey, Insert, LaunchUpdate return LaunchUpdate: WinMinimize ahk_exe launchbox.exe WinActivate ahk_exe launchbox.exe But I want to do it on a loop instead that does it automatically if it happens however only if the script can tell launchbox is covering the taskbar because if not it'll just be winminimizing and activating constantly. Could you help with that?
