This produced an interesting result! I just did the Ctrl+N to add a new game in my MS-DOS and got the same result. I then tried this in Windows, Ctrl+N, and got the same result. THEN, I did it in Sega Genesis... 'cause, why not?... and BINGO! So what this is telling me is it's not how GOG games are being imported like I thought. It's how MS-DOS/Windows is retrieving database matches. On a personal level I'm satisfied with this result, as now I can make those force-matches I needed. It makes me super curious as to why/how DOS/Windows is pulling things differently, but ultimately, I'm just glad it works. Thanks for getting me moving in the right direction! I really appreciate it.

I bought Maniac Mansion from GOG, installed it, imported it to LB, and it auto-matched to Maniac Mansion Deluxe (2004) Here, in the DB: https://gamesdb.launchbox-app.com/games/details/113159 What I want however, is to force it to match to the MS-DOS version of Maniac Mansion (1987) Here, in the DB: https://gamesdb.launchbox-app.com/games/details/32410-maniac-mansion Of note: I used to be able to put in a partial match search term like "Maniac Ma" and it would pull up all matches, regardless of system. It no longer lets me do that, if I don't put in full words, no matches are found. I assume this partial match no longer being a thing was a change for the better, as far as background processes go, but it is worth mentioning because this solution no longer works for this issue. The Issue: Even if I change the platform to MS-DOS and put in "Maniac Mansion" it is trying to force it to be the deluxe 2004 version on Windows. Shown here: TO BE CLEAR, I am NOT saying this match is incorrect. I'm saying it won't let me change it to something else. Context: This was recently an issue I had with Steam games if a SteamID is present in the Application Path. In order for me to force match something like "Ghostbusters Remastered" on Steam to instead present as "Ghostbusters: The Video Game" on Xbox 360, I would have to remove the SteamID, match the game, and then put the Steam ID back. Then I am able to setup my games the way I like. Simple, easy-peasy. (I fully understand having matches with a SteamID work this way, I'm not complaining, it's a brilliant change.) Question: Did something change with how GOG games work recently as well? I tried removing the application path same as I would with my Steam games, but no dice. In fact it seems like nothing I do will let me force this game to be anything but "Maniac Mansion Deluxe". I am not criticizing any method that makes matches more accurate, I'm just looking for how to work around that in my own personal build, same as I do now with Steam games. Does anyone have any ideas? I'd really appreciate any insight. If nothing changed with GOG matching, like I am assuming, based of my recent troubles with Steam, what else might be getting in my way here? I'm having the exact same issue with Jazz Jackrabbit at the moment from GOG too.

Someone pointed me to this wonderful sounding tool earlier today, but for the life of me I can't get it to work. I feel like I'm missing something that's probably right in front of me. I downloaded the .zip Extracted it. Double-Click IsoEnablerForRPCS3.exe ...and then nothing happens. I checked task manager, and for a split second this consent.exe process comes up, but that's the only evidence I clicked on anything: After that, I tried launching an ISO from Launchbox and all it does is open RPCS3 and sit there. I tried it a few times, since you've mentioned double-clicking a second time would disable it. Nothing I do seems to do anything though.

Hmm dang, yeah that's similar to what I am doing currently. I went to all, organized by title, then used filters to narrow it to PS2, GC, XBOX, PSP, and Wii. I've been going through that list trying to find duplicates. It can be hard because not everything lines up how you'd hope. For example SRS: Street Syndicate Racing was listed as "Street Syndicate Racing" on Gamecube and was several rows down, almost missed it. Or there was RedCard 2003, on one system it was "Red Card", two words, and was way further down. (Not sure why on earth a space is calculated in alphabetization, but that's a different topic alltogether.) I was hoping there was a way to utilize the audit feature cross system or something, but it doesn't sound like it. I appreciate the response regardless, and thank you.

I'm trying to downsize, and one of the ways I'm doing this is to get rid of unnecessary duplicate items. For example, if a game like "Harvey Birdman Attorney at law" is on Wii, PSP, and PS2, I don't need 3 versions of it. When I audit a platform however, duplicates only shows matches within a single platform. Is there a way that I can narrow down my search without going through each system with a fine-toothed comb? Appreciate any help/ideas I can get on this one. I have 31K+ games and it's just too much, I'm over it.

Are there any parameters to configure quality/performance for 3D models? Normally I have no issue in BigBox browsing systems like Genesis or SNES, but when I go to a system like PSX or Saturn, it stutters while scrolling the game list. My 'assumption' is this is because the jewel/long jewel cases are doing more with the reflection/lighting that is present. Initially I was hoping I could just turn that off, but I can't find ANYTHING in this regard. Anyway to dial that in a bit so I can have smooth scrolling in all systems?

I hate to necro a thread, but is there anyway to get around this? Like force download all, or manually download specific ones? I swear old versions used to just download everything, and it was fantastic.

I'm not sure why this isn't working, so here's what I've done. My "Microsoft DOS" games are all .zip files associated with the emulator RetroArch. They are located in "X:\Games\Microsoft DOS" which is the same drive as LaunchBox. In the Platform Details window, under the folders tab, the path is "..\Games\Microsoft DOS" I have deleted over 400 games. I have gone to Tools > Scan > Scan for Removed Microsoft DOS Roms It flashes the progress bar at the bottom for about .0001 seconds and then returns "No missing ROMS were found." I've checked the path in the games details, and they point to a .zip file that no longer exists. Am I doing something wrong here? As far as I can tell, and from looking around the forums and searching online, this is exactly what I should do to make it work.

I can share, but I'm not sure what you are asking for exactly. Like, pictures or something? I just created an "Xbox One" wheel in LB and added the windows shortcut to the wheel so it opens the Xbox App.

Personally, and while it's not exactly what you are setting out to do, I decided to go another route that felt like it gave me the same results. (more or less). I just installed Parsec on my Computer (8tb, personally) and installed Parsec on my Android Phone and Work Computer. Then I grabbed a Razer JungleCat (any phone controller would work). I now have my *entire* build everywhere, so long as there is WiFi.

I think it would be an awesome addition. I assume more than "Game Pass", we are specifically talking about the xCloud portion of it; the cloud streaming? Personally, I have MASSIVE libraries on my PlayStation and Xbox, and I ended up creating PS4/5 and X1/XSX wheels with an entry that pulls up the Remote Play apps. It's hardly an integration, but it 'helps' to centralize things.

Currently, all 923 of my PS2 games are in .cso format. I'm going through the process of converting them CSO-to-ISO-to-CHD, since .chd is now supported in emulation. The problem I'm running into with launchbox, is that I don't want to re-add all the games and have to re-configure the art and things like that. I just wanna somehow tell launchbox, all .cso is now .chd. Is there a way to do this?

Sometimes this black screen shows up instead of the game details page. I can't figure out why or how to fix it. It happens seemingly at random. I can't back out of the game, the program freezes. Have to close it from task manager. I tried defragging my cache folder, rebuilding my cache. I'm at a loss, but it's super annoying. Please help me.

I'm noticing that when I imported my games, a number of titles mistakenly got added as additional apps/versions. For example NightCaster II had NightCaster listed as an additional app... as I've gone through my system, I've noticed this has occurred (particularly with sequels) a number of times. Is there any method to audit or list all games that have additional apps/versions attached to them? Not sure how else to go about finding all the ones I "haven't" come across yet

I had never seen this prompt before in all my time with LaunchBox. I just went toying around to see if I could find it. Apparently, this doesn't come up at all if you drag and drop your folder into LaunchBox to start the import process. You have to actually go to Tools>Import and point it at your folder for this to come up. Very strange, but either way I'm just glad I can disable that now. Thanks for your help!
