ok yes it is working with this approach, I missed a switch out when I first tried, there is still the issue of the extension being hard set, if a similar %extension% style launch variable existed then it would be nice I am sure about what 1964 needs, I had it setup with the game specific overrides, but I wanted to make it universal so adding games 'just works', and I wanted to ask as customising the launch commands seemed like something worth learning about in general. Even if the situations are rare, it seems really odd to have launch parameters locked to a few fixed templates, having some advanced vars for path / filename / ext would be great so exceptions can be handled when they come up.

So this is the command line formatting required by 1964 GEPD, and there are actually a few posts touching on the topic about problems setting up this emulator that are generally unresolved, this is how I come across the game specific command override work around, but some of that stuff is quite old and I had assumed there must be ways to make simple edits to the launch commands and fix it properly. If there is confusion as to why I am setting up this emulator specifically, it is because this is how you can play goldeneye / perfect dark nicely with mouse and fov customisation, I do not believe there are alternatives to this so this is still the best emulator around for this. @Koroth I didn't have any luck with the %romfile% approach, but its interesting if there is advanced syntax for modifying the launch command, this is what I was hoping to see, is there documentation on these commands? There is the slight issue of emulators not specifically using just one extension so if it was hard set then I guess i'd have to look at converting between formats, lol it is such a funny situation, I really thought this would be a simple thing to do.

So the tickbox you highlighted modifies the command between the two formats app.exe path\file (the wording would suggest this option does actually include the extension) or app.exe file (file name only, path and extension stripped out) I am simply looking to achieve a launch command that does not include path but still keeps the extension

Sorry if I am not being clear, if you see the Koroths screenshot, the option they have highlighted gives you a launch command app.exe file while the result I want would look like app.exe file.extension

Hi, I am currently trying to setup an emulator with the command format app.exe file.ext It appears to only have an option for file without extension, where do you customise this? The only option I have found is to do a per game override requiring a manual edit for every rom which seems a crazy way to do it when a simple global command could be working

Yea I was just expecting to need to dedicate an extra button to do it if I want to use that view style, but I guess if you are trying to provide options for a range of situations such as input limited setups then it gets a bit more tricky. An assignable bind feels like its a fair core option to have even if you plan to have alternative methods.

Hi, how do you access the side menu that lets you jump directly to a letter when in a wall view game list layout, not sure what the name of that menu is. Usually accessed by an unused directional input but this view uses both axis, I guessed it may be something I have to bind to a key in settings but nothing I tried seemed to be for that menu.

yea im keeping a couple of things split up so have custom folder names going on so just curious what the situation was with the paths, but good to clarify it is just the way it works, thanks.

Hi, so after adding a new set of mame roms into launchbox I found nothing was launching, after randomly digging around I discovered the rom path in the mame.ini was not correct so fixed this up and everything launches ok, but I was surprised I needed to do this, I was assuming launchbox feeds the rom path to the exe when launching, my sample command for mame is; mame64.exe -keyboardprovider dinput "FULL\PATH\TO\ROM\FILE" Can I have this work dynamically without having to manually correct the path in the mame.ini if I want to add / change folders?

Hi, so im trying to configure launchbox in a way that feels nice to use and one thing is really throwing me off, I use the list view and in pretty much every application i've ever used with list selections I would have the option to type a few letters together quickly and jump direct to that point in the list, for example I could type sup and i'd expect to be looking at games starting with sup, but in launchbox this will have me looking at games beginning with p, am I missing an option somewhere?
