use the native feature within the emulator. RPCS3 already can do game specific configs and will load them automatically. all it takes is right clicking on a game in the game list and then saving the type of custom config you want

edit the game, go the Additional Apps tab, highlight which version you want to make default, then click the Make Default button.

it's under Options > General

use the audit feature to see which games don't have a video file associated with them. renaming files or entries would still be part of the process though to fix ones that have no video file associated. that or assigning the video file to the entry within LB, it will automatically rename it to the standardized naming scheme if needed.

Pic1 = Big Box. Pic2 = LaunchBox They cannot be different versions, they always match. So easy to check which version you are on by looking in the About window. I think 13.7 is latest LaunchBox is the management side of things, but can certainly be used as the primary launcher if you prefer But if you paid for premium it's likely because you wanted features within Big Box. which is what most people would use if they have some sort of cabinet or HTPC setup. Custom themes can be applied to both programs. You have one enabled for Big Box. LaunchBox looks default though. Marquees Should be under Options > General which is where you can set primary display and marquee display. you mention a third screen? if so, go download a plugin called something like "third screen" because three screens is not supported OOTB.

i'm sitting here wondering why a virtualized disk is even being talked about. this is not how I would imagine these services to operate. mind blown 💥 I would bet the problem is using anything virtualized. you wouldn't have that specific issue if you are were launching files from a real local directory. with that said you should try changing your Google Drive for Desktop settings to have files stored locally too using mirrored setting. surprised this wouldn't be the default. frontend needs access to these files even if you're not online your posts give me the impression you're running the frontend from the cloud? if this is the case, it offers an explanation. makes total sense why LB immediately crashes if the service is shutdown. it's no different than ripping a SATA disk out of your PC case, if said program was on that disk it's going to crash.

I would assume you have configured your encoders to be in key mode rather than xinput or dinput, so you need to make adjustments in keyboard mapping

you do not have platform videos. download them from the link available on first page of this thread or from within LB via Tools > Download > Platform/Playlist/Category Theme Videos files need to be in \LaunchBox\Videos\Platforms or if you want them only theme specific and not global \LaunchBox\Themes\<THEME NAME>\Videos\Platforms

if this is the case, then folks could use LaunchBox's Startup Application feature to run a script that would either pause or exit the cloud syncing service when the frontend boots. Further, resume/start the cloud syncing service upon the frontend's exit. I don't use any of those cloud syncing tools to test with, but it sounds easy enough.

zip files, and 7-zip files are fine and you don't need to extract them I would make sure the .7z file even works if you load it directly from within Retroarch's UI. If it works, then we know you have a wrong setting in LB. If you have the checkbox enabled to extract archives for Retroarch then can try unchecking that

it's called "Sort Title" in the edit window. If empty it's going to use the entries standard Title to sort it found on the main Metadata window. so if you wanted "Gears 5" to show up after "Gears of War 4" for ex, you would want to enter "Gears of War 5" here. The game title will still display as "Gears 5" if you left it as such in the Title field, but now it is going to be sorted by your Sort Title value

Give it a try again. It does work. For example, I have a custom field called "Aspect Ratio" shown here in Auto Populate There is a quirk where you need to actually add a VALUE to the custom field. If you only added the "Name" but left "Value" empty then the Custom Field was never really created/saved and would not show up in another drop downs for use. If you opened the Edit > Custom Fields window up again for the game where only a Name was entered you would notice that whatever you entered into Name is no longer there due to no value was assigned At least one entry needs to have a value assigned to the custom field for the custom field to exist for use. Note those other three above it exist OK because there are other games that have values assigned to them

You should be entering the intended platform like "Sega Dreamcast" in the "Platform" field instead of "All" If you have more entries setup like that, they would need the same edit

yea the icon changing is bizarre. I think it would be worth looking in the icon images folder too in order to see if the files are being renamed or created with a different file name. for ex, did it take the Sega Dreamcast icon and rename it to All (in the end basically deletes having an icon named Sega Dreamcast), or did it create a new All file that happens to use the Sega Dreamcast icon image? (Sega Dreamcast icon still exists in this case, and it would look like there are two icon images for Sega Dreamcast, but one would be properly named Sega Dreamcast, and the other would be All)

even weirded is that they both have a Nintendo Switch platform icon! wouldn't they have had to gone out of their way to duplicate and/or rename the specific image file to "all.png" (or whatever extension it is) for that to link up?
