So, the CSV was just something I did to organize them all in the hopes to import them. I should have checked if it was even possible first, so scratch that. Problem Statement: Let's say you had 200+ games that launched from a variety of different paths (C:\program files\XXXXX\X.exe), batch files, etc. You wanted to load them up under a single category for ease .. so say Windows. Is the best option to create a new XML that defines them each as a unique entity? Because I'm perfectly capable of doing that either with a PS script or just use an LLM to build it out for me using my CSV as the source file. Ultimately, I have a crapload of unique stuff, some of the batches run windows games with custom parameters necessary, others run a special version of mame highly customized with 1 rom, etc. Its just easier for these not to dump them in raw and instead create them under 1 new category so I can keep the work I did years ago in place on these.

I have an arcade machine that used a custom launcher. I'm converting to Launchbox. I have a couple hundred games that span PS2, Windows, browser based games in custom browsers that are designed for arcade setups, etc that are non-installed, highly customized with batch files to ensure compatibility/controls, etc and would like to add these in to Launchbox under a specific "platform" so I can find them easily. I have them listed in a CSV under various columns and I had hoped that I could use this to import them in bulk but I can't find an import option that reads CSV to quickly generate these. I absolutely do not want to spend 8+ hours manually creating game after game, putting in launch parameters, etc to get all of these working. Is there ANY way to bulk add? I can't believe this doesn't exist after 10+ years ...

Is there a way that when a user selects to start a game you can do both of the below each time: 1. Execute a 2nd application (prior to the game starting) 2. Execute a batch file (or similar) that terminates the name of the 2nd application More detail: What I want to avoid is: ALt+F4 or any other hack that could accidentally terminate the wrong application like Launchbox. It may not be consistent what is at the foreground when executing the command. What I want is: A consistent way to terminate the named executable that I started prior to starting the ROM. For example, if I exit the game can I run a batch file like: @echo cls taskkill /IM SampleApp.exe /T /F -------- I see there's a scripting engine built in to Launchbox, I assume it's intended for this purpose?
